A crazy October 4 day tour up to the Isle of Mull for a bit of wild camping. Taking in Tobermory and a few ferries on our route, we swing back round to Glancoe, the borders area near Moffat then cross the Yorkshire Dales on our way home. Superb!

Can you upload the general itinerary and general cost of the trip please?
❤thank you for this trip which makes me really want to visit Norway
👍 You won’t regret it!
9/10 for such a graceful dismount, lol.
He styled it out impressively didn’t he!! 😀
Excellent video, really enjoyed that, well done guys. Where did you get the ferry from in Germany to Norway?
From Emden - but unfortunately Holland Norway lines have gone bust so it is no more. Only route now is from Hamburg or Hirtshals.
Cheers bloke, this is the vid that helped me decide my tyre choice this time around.👍
You won’t look back mate - night and day difference in the wet and cold weather 👍
Looking good 👍 once I've worn out the IRCs I'll be buying a set of these. How is the speedometer accuracy now rear is a bit talller?
Hard to say as I don’t have a satnav with speedo, will have to get an app. But I wouldn’t have known the difference, in gearing either - feels the same.
I thought how come no comments, have some algorithm
Cheers Dude 👍
Interesting take. Lots of absolutely glowing reviews out there as well. Bad luck buying a bike unsuited to your style and that turned out a lemon as well. Seems KTM and BMW fans are like oil and water. Hope your BMW has served you well.
It has. And the dealer service is night and day better!
Interesting but very subjective complaints. It sounds like you’re used to another manufacturer but expected the KTM to be the same or not too different. Some people just can’t ride or get on with certain marques. KTMs are not for you clearly. I find the ones that don’t like KTMs the most are BMW riders. It’s the same the other way round for me actually. I have had 7 KTMs and 2 BMWs. Both BMWs were dull and had worse reliability than any KTM I’ve had.
Yea horses for courses. Dealers slightly aside, I never had any real problems with Triumph or Honda tho… the suspension and dealer support was the final nail in the coffin for me tbh, I wasnt prepared to spend any more of my time on it or them!
I think you have the best recordings I have seen
Thanks mate 🙏 😀 Please like and subscribe!
Hi, which month was this tour and how was the temperature at snowed areas?
Hi, this was June and last year there was a heatwave - 30 degrees sometimes which is unusual. In the snow at higher ground it was still warm, 15-20 degrees. You just have to be lucky!
Thanks a lot, we planned for this June almost same times keep fingers cross
Have a great trip! Norway is so epic ❤️enjoy!
@@thebearfacedbiker thanks mate
Hey can you tell us your suspension settings for sag? I can’t seem to get mine dialed in, it’s pretty unruly in corners, wallowing about and head shakes at higher speeds. Anything to help, ❤❤
I adjust according to the manual - get my wife to measure the sag while I sit on it and adjust to spec. Sounds like you need to increase the pre-load, which is about all you can do on these… I’ve only ever had a bit of wallowing loaded up with suspension set too soft…
Where's the dirt bike does dirt bike horse encounter I don't see a dirt bike
I’m sitting on it - and have turned it off.
Much respect for that! You're a class act my friend. The bike is spectacular too 👌 😊
How much was that ferry crossing to Norway?
650 Euros return. Obviously too cheap as they’ve gone bust 😢 You now have to ride to the top of Denmark or go across to Kiel to get an Oslo ferry. Either take a fair bit longer!
The XR is Fab
Great movie..As a norwegian i'm proud of this scenery. Glad you guys enjoyed it...😊🇳🇴
Oh wow, thank you 😊
No matter how the day has progressed even if Im running late I always do the 16 mile detour brilliant road nice video
how tall are you? do you find seat height too high for what it is? i'm 5'7 and there was no way i could reach bottom eith my heals...
About 5’10 and I found it OK. Tbh if I got another, I would get a low version to get a lower centre of gravity - but with same height seat to keep the peg to butt distance the same.
@@thebearfacedbiker the pegs are ok on an XR, but the whole height of the bike is just a bit too much... i understand that it has to do Adventure like ride as well, but lets be honest, who takes a bike like that on a gravel or in the forest? Maybe the next step for BMW is to make a touring version of the S1000R (like a R1250RS with a straight 4 cylinder) with taller screen and integrated pannier holders, like super duke GT or ninja 1000 SX... maybe even shaft drive, so there wouldn't be any chain maintainance required... :D :D :D I'm day dreaming, i know, hahhahahaha xD
Yea I think they only styled it like that to attract people who wanted a 4 cylinder GS. And it’s very good, just pointlessly high as you say. I reckon the low version XR would be a good compromise - if not a better bike!
After 4 trips from uk to Norway on 3 different R1200 boxers ( No GS version ) seeing many of your roads and tourist 'must see' I leave for home each time knowing I have again missed so much more that needs adding to a 'next visit list'. Laerdal tunnel and the top route overpass always needs another trip, the ferry to Lote, Fv698 to Solberg Panorama view route is worth the time from Forde and Stryn, thanks for posting and making trip 5 a possibility.
Thank mate! 😀 Was only my second time and first time on a bike. Will definitely be back!
Have you still got the gpx files for this trip ? If so I’ll love to have them from you if you don’t mind
I’ve had mine 3 years don’t have any issues riding it at all sounds like I you should of bought a GS in the first place KTM is a riders bike
I still find it baffling that the newcastle to Norway ferry was stopped as not being profitable
Sad isn’t it. And all the ones to Germany! And the one we took from Germany went bust, so it’s back to having to ride all the way up through Denmark to get one to Kristiansand. So from hook of Holland, basically two days of flat riding to get there… still worth it mind! 😀
looks great im going in july can't wait was loverly to watch
Enjoy mate, it’s epic! 😀👍
Very nice video
Travel times?
Great but give us a look at the digs 😊
Fair play, next time, but they’re nothing to write home about! 😂
Great movie of Norway trip.
Thanks mate. Positive comments make all the editing time worthwhile!
And the editing did the movie fantastic. I have traveled with my Harley on many of your places so it was nice to see. I do not film I do only take pictures.
Anyone counted how many times he said Nice? 😂
Nice! 👌
As I watch movies about Norway, because I am planning my trip, I see a lot of them. But this is one of the best!!!
Wow, thank you so much. Have a great trip, Norway is fantastic!
Do you have a map of your route? Love the paradors
hi may i know which ferry company u travel from eemshaven to kristiansand?we r coming on june 2024!need yr advice tqvm
It was Holland-Norway Lines but I think they went out of business last year. Riding up through Denmark to Hirtshals may now be your only option…
mates tqvm for yr good infor tq@@thebearfacedbiker
Good video. What time of the year you did that trip? (dates) thanks
Cheers🍻 Middle two weeks of June. We were proper lucky with a heatwave!
What do you need to fly a drone in Norway?
You need to register with their aviation authority which was easy enough online and gives an operator ID to put on the drone. I think you had to confirm that you have insurance too, then follow their flight restriction zones/maps which are all online. Search on TH-cam - there’s a vid that goes through the Norwegian rules and where you can find the restriction maps and stuff. All pretty straightforward for drone under 250g
Thank you 🙏
Rad! Ugh, I miss adventure riding.
YIKES!!!
it is one of the best that have come out on the market ... some small issues that they have come up with, it is worthless. the driving behavior of the s1000xr, no one else has it!! you feel absolute confidence, and you have to be irrelevant to fall in!! the power it has is from another planet... especially euro 3-4 gen1 is a cannibal... gen 2 is calmer... no relation... if you want raw power and adrenaline, you get gen 1 euro 3)! ! the ultimate driving machine...
Suspensions??? My GT 2019 is superb!!
The 2017 was not. And my dealer didn’t seem to know anything about software upgrades to sort it (despite the info being all over the forums)!
Just ordered one today.
Hi, I was at the lakeside camp at the same time as you. It rained a little, but otherwise it was great there, I enjoyed it a lot. I just wanted to say hello.😊😊😊
👍 Hello! What bike were you on?
👍👏👏👏👏✌️🇪🇦
Another great video BFB. It was an experience for sure. Looking forward to doing it again 👍
What a stunning video! I have a family connection with Mull and been visiting on a regular basis since before I could walk and talk. I hope to be back there in 2024. I have driven and cycled pretty much all the roads you were on. I was also in Scotland in June, on some of the same roads as you and it was very dry, fantastic to see the rivers so full, most were a mere trickle when I saw them. Lastly Yorkshire. I 'discovered' the county on my way to and from the Lake District in May and again in June heading North. What a county. I am planning a whole week there in 2024. Usha Gap is a fantastic campsite if you are up that way again.
Thanks I’ll look that one up. And yes isn’t Mull beautiful - it was my first time there, but definitely needs some more visits and exploring! 👍
Supe ride out on some great roads, done quite a few of them, crappy weather which to your credit did not deter the riders, stay safe and have a good one.
Nice one BFB :)
Beautiful
Beautiful! You should visit Albania also
"It never fails to put a smile in my face" - totally agree
Absolutely stunning scenery!! Thank you for sharing! We've subscribed!
Cheers - and thanks for the sub 😀👍
Well i agree yes and yes 👍
Its an great scenery! I am maybe also going next year. But i was asking myself in what time of the year did you go. Greetings from Holland!
We went late June, no snow on the pass roads. I mean you have to be lucky with the weather at any time, but there weren’t any midges at that time at least.
