@@bk6271Good question! The 690 is a bit more stable and planted. If we were doing serious off road trails I would have swapped. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@EricBanner571 Yeah your spot on with all that. For me I liked the Sherco it ticked a lot of boxes but I would have had to some major work on the suspension. As you said I decided I didn't want a full on race bike. The DRZ was a perfect option if it was just a bit lighter. Was looking at them still as an option as they are pretty cheap as well. There is a fair bit of novelty factor with the TT but if it is an old pig of a thing that's hard to get along with it might not last long as well. Wish the Japs would put more effort into the dual sport market. Good thoughts mate! Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@seawench555 Hi, yeah didn't think of starting the old girl I'll do a little short later today of starting her up. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

Hi Andrew, going well mate all a bit quieter with work ATM so life is under control. Can't believe U had a 350. I saw them and thought gee like the look of them. Sold Sherco too harsh in the suspension so wanted an older plusher bike. 350 seem to make sense. How have U been going. Getting out on the 650 at all?

@@joelpukallus7340 Hi Joe, yeah good call. I didn't notify my insurer or the registration body. It still allows the fitment of the cat converter for RWC to transfer registration which was my main concern. Other than that it does not improve performance or change handling characteristics so in my humble opinion no mod plates required. An insurance company could not claim in any way that this could contribute to an accident, again in my humble opinion. Having said that make sure you have suitable experience in welding so not to compromise the integrity of the subframe. If concerned talk to and automotive engineer. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@stevedavisracing Yep that's the plan but will bring go pro as well 👍

Hi Bruno, yeah so my mate Steve only kept it for about 6 months and moved to WA and so he sold it. The main concern we both had for this offering from Kawasaki was how much torque and how easily it would flame out in the technical stuff. It was really quite good in both these area's and off course on the open stuff it was awesome. As you would expect it had great suspension which was pretty firm as cross country bikes are supposed to be and the gearbox an absolutely beautiful. The air box was quite open so you would have to keep an eye on the air filter. I have had a KTM XCF which is also a cross country bike and probably would rate the Kawasaki better than it. One positive thing about these style of bikes they ride very light and are very agile. Sorry couldn't offer a more long term review. Regards Steve

@@dirtbikeadv thanks ledgend, I've been swaying between the kx250x or the fe250, and couldn't find much on the kx250x.

@@imountainman Yeah very similar style bike easy to get along with and pretty simple Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@gzahnd Yeah it's a bit painful isn't it... First time I'd done a interview style vid before. Didn't realise I was doing it 😔

@@dirtbikeadv I’m just playing, mate. Found the video useful!

@@beardlesshobo108 Yeah agreed first time on a big bike on the sand so I was a bit tentative. When U watch the video when you are editing you realise this. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@malleedirtbikerider Cool yeah great area. Just watching your vid now

@@dirtbikeadv it isn't quite as good as your videos mate. I don't have the gear to talk while I am riding.....but I doubt people want to hear me huffing and puffing either 🤣

@@carl.44magnum51 Agreed been using it ever since that vid 😁 Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@dave-orourke That's good to hear your loving it. Makes me a bit happier I made the right decision. Bought a shade for mine in case I find it a bit dull but so far so good Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@jackchristodoulou197 Seems like we both like it KISS style. Keep it simple stupid. Lmfao Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@ozadv Yeah agreed after this trip I'll be doing the follow mode. That's why I was missing turns Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@markrichardson8382 Yeah the Tuareg is a very underrated bike IMO. Watched several reviews on them and they look real interesting 🤔 Regards Steve

Hi Chris, I did buy it direct from Thork and it cost $1362 delivered. Be careful when you order it because it's over $1000 AUD you will cop the import duties and GST. I got mine sent out in two packages. This was for the tablet, cradle, sunshade and an AJP mounting bracket. Thank for watching Steve

@@dirtbikeadv wow..expensive stuff but it appears to have great mapping ability; and it works in the freezing cold; did you have to upload Aussie maps or does it read from the sky?

@@markhills3922 Hi Mark, yeah pretty expensive agreed. U have to download all the maps but the Focus maps they are designed to run on have pre loaded prompts so to speak. I then downloaded Hema and Explore Oz maps. Used up most of the memory but I have any situation covered. Hema and Explore Oz was for the fuel info and outback travels. Early days yet but I will review it from the perspective of a guy who hates tech Thanks for watching Regards Steve

@@dirtbikeadv with ya there on the tech hating....loathe tech would be more appropriate for me.

Hi, yeah don't overthink my tyres too much but having said that have tried a few different tyres. Pretty settled on the Motoz Tractionator Rallz front and back. Seemed to have good all round grip, are quiet and wear quite well. What Bike do U have and tyres? Thanks for watching Regards Steve

Hi Steve. I have a 2011 Tenere, just like yours. Currently running knobbies. I'm doing a bit more on the road and find them a bit too agricultural. I'll look into the ones you run

@@tconcrete6622 I run the Motoz Rallz on my 2010 Tenere. Good choice. My Pr7 I run the Motoz Enduro IT on the front.

Hi Mark, yeah had a look at a CF Moto 450 last weekend a very nice looking bike. The Chinese have really up there game with manufacturing. Specs up really nice. I'm in Warragul but was up your way two weeks ago, did a great ride through Maryborough, Avoca, Halls Gap and across to Balmoral have a look at my latest vid I put up last night. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

Lol yeah U can end up pretty heavy. Your level of comfort and peace of mind is a personal thing as long as your happy with what U take all good. For me the lighter the bike the more fun I have. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

Yeah makes the handling a lot better and your far less likely to drop it. Cycle bags are a great idea well done. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

Yeah it's the Thork Racing DMD T865 tablet. The old tablet was playing up a bit but it was 7 years old. Had to go. Did some research and thought the DMD was the best option. Will review it at some stage from the perspective of a person who hates tech. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

Great to see the Gay community supporting the channel!

Thanks bud appreciate the positive comments. Yeah loving the PR7 out an about this weekend on it. Western Victoria exploring bud up soon

Yeah sounds like a nice trip, a very nice trip. Morocco is on my bucket list. Glad to hear the PR7 went so well the key is the only problem I have had. Still loving mine. Safe Travels, Regards Steve

I went in Morocco four months ago with AGP pr 7. Also traveled solo and gracias a Dios no had problems with my bike . Good luck!
