over the years Ive had a 520 exc, a 450 exc, a 300 xcw (still have for single track) and now a 500 excf and all bikes have been reliable. KTM really knows how to build a great performing bike with top components. I agree, the main reason a KTM, or any bike really is reliable, is to stay on top of maintenance. Great video, thanks!

Simon, that looked like a whole lot of fun! I’m really glad I discovered this dirt bike channel of yours…it’s the original spirit of adventure riding just like we did in the ‘70s on way less capable bikes like my DT250 and my mate, Michael’s Elsinore 250 and camping wild! Cheers mate. Take care and ride safe👏🏍️💪👍🇿🇦

You must have the price of the Øresund bridge wrong. It is 260 danish kroner, which is about 29 GBP

That Rabaconda machine is a revelation! It makes changing a tyre in your garage a doddle…I want one! Great video Simon 💪🏍️🇿🇦🍺😎

Hi Simon, I’ve just discovered this channel…secretive bugger aren’t you? 😂 What I love about this channel is guys my age, on dirt bikes re-enjoying their youth! Brilliant 💪🏍️🍺🇿🇦

Excellent and very informative video, thanks a lot!🤩

A tip for if your starter goes out: Put another bike back tire to back tire with yours, put them on the center stand if you have one. Otherwise use a stump, log, rock or even your helmet to elevate the rear tire. Start the functioning bike and put in gear and give some revs to get about 10-20 kph (10 mph ish). Hold the clutch on your bike and put in 1st or 2nd gear and dump the clutch. Voilà, your bike is now started with minimal effort ☺

Stay away from these two they come with a lot of baggage😁

I’m shocked you can get camp gear on it !! I ride a 701 when I need take my camp gear. I’m curious about your baggage set up. (oh changing the oil… I quite like doing it! It’s a joy !) … I agree with your comments.

i’ve ridden them on heaps of tours … Portugal and Morocco. Over the last years. I agree with you. They are very reliable, easy to ride. Your comments are spot on.

I am a firm believer of al the things you just mentioned! I love adv wild camping. It's the best!

I like camping. But the older you get the greater the need for immediate toilet access. Nobody talks about it.

The biggest advantage for me when I camp is that I dont have to plan where to stop. If I find a good place I just put up my tent.

Experienced camper here. I sleep much better when I'm out moto camping in the woods with my air mattress and sleeping bag (and fresh scandinavian air) than being at home.

Good stuff!

Am i an official badass if I do this on a scooter? 😎

I bought my KTM 450 in 2005 it as needed very little mechanical work and it is still going strong it still wheel stands in every gear no problem, I've adjust the valves twice, in 2021 I had the head rebuilt other than regular service I have no problem but like all machines some of them are just lemons does not matter what they are if you get a good one don't worry about criticism, because every bike every machine has its problems.

Great way to end this series. btw next time you make a breakdown of the trip/stuff, show a picture of the worn tires ;-) ( gives ppl a lot better idea of how much lilltel it was) did any of you guys put olie ob drive chain after the trip ?? :)

Now that what i call offroad trip ❤ Butt best part was the teamplay. Can´t buy that for money.!!

This is gold! I love my Aprilia Tuareg 660 but the more I ride off-road the more I want the smallest and lightest bike possible. Although my road and race bikes are all KTM I’ve shied away from KTM off-road due to the fact that many of their engines seem far too twitchy for low speed maneuverability. Th 450 may be an ideal choice that I’m going to look into. How do you feel about the 350 EXC?

Ooh submarine - well killed in time though! Nicely saved.

Well at least you didn't drown it like my friend did last year. We saw his Husqvarna disappear under the waves... 😅😂

Don't want to be rude but it is you, Peter, Brian and a guy named Sh*t load?

Iv450 rsf motor 2005 been rebuilt a couple of times obviously still goes extremely hard but still an interesting video ,but you should have done your plug they are a real pain in the backside a stupid as the air filter great video man enjoyed watching cheers always like to see new things👍🇦🇺🦘

Old husqvarna at its best ... omfg ... btw old ktm´s are the same lol

great thanks :)

The 450 motor is a Husky motor and the starter should have been available from a husky dealer in Sweden.

Thanks for an entertaining and well narrated TET story. I'll be doing the same route this summer. Now I'm properly inspired!

Thanks ! Very interesting. Struggling with my setup at the moment (wind noise), I can't wait for the video on Songs from the saddle. Have a nice 2024 season.

Thx for Camp spots… gr8 video…

Hello there, i really liked the video! This summer i'm going to Sweden too, what app did yoy guys use to find these shelters?

Off-road I’m not too sure about this they don’t look like they’re knobby enough to handle off-road

What a fantastc honest TET video review in 3 parts - normally I quickly get tired of endless driving on trails in these kinds of videos but you had a great mix. Very impressive that the group could stick together with all of Brian's problems on his CCM - hats off to the man - I had given up. I wish you all the best of luck for the next TET trip - looking forward to the next video series

SWE TET is on my list... :)

15 a day on fuel is great for an enjoyable day,great break down. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

Great video, I'm a swede from Sunne in Värmland so you passed not far from home. I always use my Klim Badland jacket, great ventilation but not when hot (above 30° celcius). I have a cotton t-shirt underneath and spray water on it so it get really wet. With all ventilation open this cools you. I have to wet it about once an hour. This works very well for me.

Are these little refuge huts all along the sweedish tet? Really enjoyable video dude..

Great trip! How many miles between oil change on your KTMs? I know my 450sxf and 525sx is 5 hours between changes. But that is of course racing motocross. Cheers / Ola - Sweden

Loved the films on this mate, great trip by the looks of it, thanks for sharing 👍

Really great series. Great country so Im sure it was great adventure for You guys. Best for You all. I invite You to ride Polish TET. Let me know and I can help. Greetings from Poland. VOY.

Wonderful series!

Bryan (Brian) should smoke less and invest that money into a proper bike. ;)

You have no horn on your bike? 2nd time you try to shout...

Swede here, very nice little series. So utterly british too. Great fun.

What was the exact fault that caused Brian’s issues?? I’ve also got a gp450 so am quite interested to know.

no possible.... old moto for tet??? crazy

Hallo Friends, i am from Berlin/Germany. Your Video is soo cool ... there are lots of problems, but you 4 guys stay so cool!!! I wish you all the best for next kilometers 👍👍👍👍

great video series guys! how long did it take you in all? what ferries did you get? I am cooking up a wee plan to do the Swedish TET this. any info is always insightfull. Cheers.

You just got new subscriber,Also a rider in kenya check me out

Very interesting video. I bought a 901 Expedition in October 23 and now I’m looking for tips to plan my first motorcycle journey to Scandinavia. I’ve found quite a lot in your video. Thank you!
