Yeah, the 890 is a pretty ridiculous machine; extremely capable

Yeah, it’s somewhat disappointing for a machine that was so touted for being top-of-the-line; I honestly expected a bit more

Hi Jim, sorry for such a late response; I definitely think the 890 R is versatile enough. It’s the same style as the MT 10, only much lighter. However, it does lack cruise control, and I’m not certain, but it might be slightly more difficult to mount luggage.

I usually don’t keep track of that, but I’d have to guess 1500 or so? Very soft rubber on the power cups

@@dylangrieveable What tire you running now? I guess I'll do another Cup 2 in the rear so I'll replace both tires after that. I never was a Michelin man, these are impressive; good thing we get 300+ sunny days a year in the SF Bay Area.

@@MMPAspergerian you know, I don’t even know, and my bike is parked in a garage across the city, so I can’t look. I think I have a Diablo Rossi V3 or something like that? But in my opinion, nothing beats the stock tires so far; they’re so sticky

@@dylangrieveable Hahaha, I'm a Pirelli man in heart and soul. I don't have experience on Rosso III; had Supercorsa SP V3 on my Daytona, oh man, I did a stoppie on accident and the rear would always lift the front driving out a corner. It never broke traction and after 700 miles it still looked new. I can't do a proper quantitative analysis on the Cup 2 vs SC SP V3 on two different bikes. But, from the looks of it I'll prob get 3K on my Cup 2. I am weighing towards Rosso IV Corsa for replacing both because I ride in damp and 'just finished raining' conditions.

Much obliged!

Thanks for the feedback; I usually try not to be negative, but these were some glaring things. Also, anything by Yamaha is highly recommended. I’ve owned four Yamaha‘s, and absolutely loved them. Really fun, really reliable

If you test rode the 890R you took it home. I rode the MT-09 SP and all it wants to do is wheelie. The 821 I've rode as well and they seem geared to go 300 MPH, LoL! In first gear the revs are so slow and lazy it seems like you don't have to shift until 200 MPH.

Thanks for the comment; for a reference, I weigh about 150 pounds. Right now, I believe the rebound is set at 9 clicks out, and the compression at 14 clicks out. I’ll double check when I ride again

My apologies; I just double checked, and the rebound is indeed 9 clicks out, but the compression is 6 clicks out, not 14.

@@dylangrieveable thanks for the info, appreciate it

It's a fun bike

Sorry about that; I accidentally uploaded the first review without the correct audio, so I had to delete the original video and re-upload

Now that I'm looking back on the video, I realize I was using so little of the bike's potential. It's such a crazy machine.

Honestly, the 701 is hard to beat; I bought the 890 because the 701 was in the shop for such a long time. I’ve really never ridden a motorcycle that’s more fun and versatile than the 701. And with the right mods, it has more than enough power

@@dylangrieveable I've never been a dirtbike guy, only sports bikes but this 701 really has me tempted. My last bike was a 1290 SDR and I'm debating between the 701 or a 890/1290. Idk what to do!!! 😂

@@chimmy4183 I rode a 1290 for four days straight, probably covered over 1000 miles on twisty roads. To me, the 890 wins, for the power to weight ratio, and the 701 will just have a huge smile on your face the whole time. It’s probably the easiest to ride bike I’ve ever been on. Pure fun.

Glad to hear it! Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the most fun you’ve ever had on two wheels. Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed the review

This is heading south on route one coming back from Stinson Beach in California

Glad it was helpful!

I’m having same exact problem, do you ever figure it out? Please , I need my car

@@aquilararmando Yeah. The alternator belt wasn't tightened from a previous replacement. $300 for a loose alternator belt. Doh!

@@kellydione29 thanks , my belt was tight tight, I just figured out I had a small kink in my harness near the alternator and now it’s fixed for 4$

@@kellydione29 Reminds me of a time, many years ago, when I didn’t know much about cars. At the time, I had a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 (the only car I’ve ever owned and loved that wasn’t a Honda). I was out driving and the car began to overheat, out of nowhere. I pulled over, looked in the engine bay and underneath.. no obvious issues that I could see. I let the car cool off for about a 1/2 hr, then continued driving and it started doing the same thing! I pulled into a nearby repair shop, for help. 15mins later the issue had been diagnosed and fixed. In disbelief, I asked what had happened?! The lower coolant hose had just blown off the radiator and there was nowhere for the coolant to go, but out. $160 to reattach the coolant hose and fill the system with coolant. 🙄

Great video, for those that are out there and haven’t had the experience of having this happen. Unfortunately, I did this same thing after I didn’t unhook the battery, then attempting to tighten that “gold nut”.. sparks and ‘pop’. “Ya live and ya learn.” From then on, anything electrical and I always unhook that Neg(-) battery cable. 👍🏼

Mats H I I definitely don’t take the Husky too much on the highway compared to the MT, but I’ll still do 200 to 300 mile days, as long as most of the road is twisty. Overall, I’m much less tired on the Husky then I was on the MT 10, because the Husky is easier to throw around and overall much more manageable power

Kerem81 yes and yes.

@@dylangrieveable haha so clear answer; now I am one step closer to 701 :)

Thanks; I’m a complete noob, but the yz is a blast

Dylan Grieve ahh have been there man, only started riding offroad this year too but am loving it! 🤙🏼

The suspension on the supermoto model is stiffer, but it could do some mild off-road stuff.

Bruce File Thanks; this bike wheelies so easy. No quickshifter

Colo Moto hahaaa

ECU replacement is like 100 bucks. nbd

That’s great; you’ll love this bike

whoops, realized I forgot to respond to this; I use cycra probend hand guards/mounts, but I'm guessing you probably already purchased something.

Honestly I don't miss the power at all; the husky screams, and it's so much fun to ride. It also really depends on what your using it for. If you ride a lot of tight twisties, I really think you'll love the husky. If it's more highway/higher speed stuff, the Super Duke would probably take the win. But, I'm a hardcore 701 fan now; have no desire for any other bike. I've done some light/around town 2-up; it's fine, but not the ideal bike for it.

@@dylangrieveable got it. I commute to work on my 1290 and sometimes the weight can get annoying. It feels like a tank compared to my wr. I do a lot of twisty riding and I actually find myself wanting to be on my wr more in the canyons. That's good to know it can still handle 2up, what do you think about the highway with a passenger. I'm sure it can do it, but it just won't be the most comfortable.

@@relyt_gnast It will definitely do 2-up on the highway, the bike has plenty of power, I just wouldn't plan on doing super-long rides, and stiffen up the suspension before 2-upping.

@@dylangrieveable Good to know. You definitely got me thinking. It's nice to see someone doing a review on a bike on local/familiar roads. It's a little north of where I usually ride, but Mt. Tam has some damn nice roads. A lot of traffic though. If you're riding at a moderate pace, what's the fuel range? Thanks again for all the info

Full range on a tank for this bike? I’m not entirely sure, but I’m guessing between 120 and 130 miles?

Christian Stewart yea, it’s pricey for a supermoto, but definitely worth it for me

VState60 fun road indeed!

David Miller Route one is a blast for sure

Richard Brightmore Thanks Richard, I’m glad you found it helpful

Tiago Silva yes, I have the baffle in; quiet for the neighborhood, loud when you rev it

Thanks for the kind words; I’m glad you liked it
