Hi, can I ask where you got your rear view mirrors from please Cheers

How many kms did you put on the 890?

Are you sure those are catalytic converters on the pipes or are they only expansion chambers? Increased displacement begs for pipes fatter than normal 650 upgrade exhaust.

Why would anyone take advice from you, you're not satisfied with your choices, and you waste loads of money on unnecessary bolt-on parts? How many kms did you do on the 890?

I rode a 1300 GS Adventure. It looks amazing, like a powerful, modern, unique machine.

and now there's a special edition coming out, with blingy paint job. Limited edition. I might actually prefer the V85TT. It's more 'off-roady' though don't know why. Not much lighter. Same wheel sizes. Maybe it's just the high front fender, lol. Suspension travel is the same. I think.

Nice footage😎

There is a gap between outer covers of the bike. In heavy rain probably water is going to enter to the air intake. You would test this with water hose and open the filter to look for water?

Question: Do you like the embedded subtitles? Or leave it out next time?

Who cares...click bait crap

I’ve been riding bikes since 1977 and not once have I ever thought ‘hmmm I need strobe lights’😂😂😂😂

One of the most expensive bikes on the market. And you "need" to add gigantic, mega expensive lights on it. Amazing.

Great review. Thanks. How is the headlight at night?

Well £20000 + and lights have to be added! This is why motorcycles don’t sell in great numbers!

Hi, What brand of engine bars have you fitted to your bike please?

They do fit quite well on the Mega R1300GS Tank vehicle. Not sure if they would fit as nice on my MSX125 compared to your bike. 🤔

Do you use a chest mount or helmet chin mount?

It's kind of funny.I've already bought the motorcycle but I will only pick it up on January 3rd. Never ride it, I have no clue about the motorcycle. The reason I bought it was because when the original Z1 came out in 73 I rode it and I loved it. The bike loked huge, the colours where amazing, the shape of the tank it was different from most bikes. Thru these years I had many bikes, specialy sport bikes but now I'm done with sport bikes and the Z900rs SE felt special to me because of very old memories. BTW I was 14 in 1973 :)

Love this bike! Maybe next year? 🤔🤞 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎁

Hello, I have a question. For greater safety, would you protect both brakes or just one?

Two months ago I installed a Roadlock on my R1250gsa. I have mixed feelings about the Lock. Sure it is handy that you just have a single pin in your pocket. On the other hand you have to move the bike a bit after putting the locking pin in. Also sometimes it is very hard to get the pin out (yes i used the right spacers), you have to pull very very hard.

Terrible decision. The financial issue only means dealerships will have less to sell and therfore will mark them up in the years to come, Yamaha makes instruments, Kawasaki makes trains, Honda makes everything... KTM only makes bikes, period..and bikes just aren't selling across the entire industry... KTM makes an incredible product, and when they become harder to purchase as a direct correlation to their financial woes, that will solve the "depreciation" issue

Chef, waar is die video van die aux verlichting gebleven? Had hem vanochtend in m’n playlist gezet. Zit nu op de plee, en heel die video is spoorloos…🙃

Cause im not cool enough

Buy Japanese ❤❤❤

Dam doommotor is the right name for you fella , and you’ve bought another ktm

No camshaft problems after 2021, KTM is not going anywhere and all companies have faced financial problems

Bro, you still haven't parted ways with the KTM 890.

What bar end mirror you have installed?

Bought a 1290 sas 2023 , never going to buy KTM ever again, abs pump issue causing panic brake randomly, started to have coolant lost 250ml in 4 days and counting , paint peeling everywhere on the clutch bracket and reservoir , battery drain issue , between 50-80km the steering will wobble uncontrollably , if you let go and will also go right instead of straight. There was also a chemical / electrical smell when starting in the garage , the wireless key even in the bike compartment kept being out of range . KTM dealer said everything was "normal" . The adaptive cruise control took them a month to fix . I traded it and never looking back , lost thousands but that was better then keeping it. Dangerous bike. Believe everything you see in forums about KTM , it’s not exaggerated. Extremely unreliable!

You did the right thing. Find someone else to take on the risk of owning a brand that trashes customers with known problems, a dealer network on life support, and a product thats reliable for months not years. Kevin Cameron, Technical Director of Cycle World and a doyen of motorcycling engineering, has a word for these brands of bikes. He calls them 50 mile bikes for good reason. There are only three companies that stand by their products and give you reliability, dealers and spares, anywhere in the world. They are Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki. End of story.

If you a serious off road rider but you can afford one bike then ok 690 but if you can afford 2 : 500 & 890 Simple 👍 Also spend less on parts and get out & ride

You should have done what I did and get a KTM 500, the 690 also has allot of known issues.

Did the opposite, traded my white 690 (701) for an 890. It was the right move for my needs. Love my 890. Please make a video about 690 vs 890 when you have some morecexperience with the 690.

Langweilig.... Zeitverschwendung

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one to be crazy buying and selling bikes all the time.... my average keeping bike time is roughly like you 😉

Also sold my 890 adv. R, which I miss a lot, and switched to a 690 adv. R. There is still no other brand out there, IMO, which builds bikes that simply go like stink.

Glad you stayed with the brand

"My KTM 890 Adventure does not have issues so there are no problems existing in the world with KTM at all" 🤡

Nicely explained dude

I just got mine, exact model, one month ago. My other bike is a Triumph tiger 1200. So I knew right away I was going to be downgraded from the technical and power stand point of view in exchange for a bike that brings something different to the table: personality, different riding experience and a story to tell to all the friendly clueless onlookers and enthusiasts who would approach me asking me what ithis motorcycle is. 1 1/2 thousand miles from this moment I can’t be happier for this is exactly how it’s going so far. I wanted to see how the Guzzi experience was and… I’m very excited to say i am a proud “Guzzista”. So, air-cooled engine, 80ish HP, and no electronic suspension are NOT the specs trendy motorcyclist nowadays look for nor what manufacturers advertise for the modern Adv market. This bike’s realm is in the low to mid range (RPM redline is at about 7.3 K I believe) and there you will find plenty of power to be a regular rider doing regular things. Don’t get me wrong there are few perks that are included such as a cruise control, fog lights, center stand, tall screen (not tall enough Ihad to buy an extension), ride by wire, good front brakes (normal in the back) no noise muffle, nice hard cases included. I suited it with the OEM heated grips which they don’t come with and with this I can travel very comfortable all day (already done 2 400-mile days) It is fully equipped with the “quirk” feature no other bike has, I’ll tell you that much. People will love it or will hate it, very polarizing as are the looks. This bike is not for everyone and I recommend to anyone that’s going to buy one to see it and try it first, specially if you live in the US. Guzzi is not a mainstream Brand and this market does not understand brand very well. (This makes the bike to be very accesible at the secondary market at very low mileage and incredible prices, if you are in the US just look for them a cycle trader) The bike is VERY EASY AND VERY steady. Suspension is very good (adjustable) and bike is very steady. The Dunlop tires it came with are very low pressure tolerant (this was very surprising to me) and tend to lose air so I bought the TPMS that connects to the phone which are perfect. The VTT Travel brings all of the perks already included, I’d go for that I you were looking to travel. I got this one because I love the Special edition narrative. If you love riding a bike that gives you a vintage trip to the past but in the present, and have a personality, this is you conduit for both. Thanks for the review Droommotor. I bought this bike for life (57 Y/O) and I am absolutely loving the experience. I will do 2 up with my wife very soon and I will update you.

That’s actually pretty on course with Ducati Transparency here in the states. My blog is down but I went into detail on how it works. I’ve got a basic overview on TH-cam about it if you’re bored give it a search.

Klr650 is the tracter

Great bike but not for pillion. Loved my MT but also my wife. Had an FJR for a while after, loved it too now getting GSXS1000GX. Good review.

I have the DX with frame protection and also a KTM 790 Rally and a 890 Rally. Guess which one I choose almost everytime: the DX. (I do mostly dirt. Obviously) Different strokes for different okes. The KTMs are great for slower more technical terrain, but a 690 would do even better there. The DX is more balanced. Also much better in deeper sand and mud. The DX just needs a better suspension which I find surprising that it wasn’t mentioned if you’re really doing rough and technical? I did a suspension upgrade (Tractive) anyway. My 2c

Oil leakage “normal” for a Moto Guzzi ?! What age are you talking about mate. One minor observation: Please do use some more space on/of the road, so drive a little bit more (2/3j to the left of your lane.

Riding and restored bikes for many, many years and the MT-01 has been on my list since it came out in 1999. Other bikes got into my possession until 2023 when I got my 2006 MT-01 and it did not disappoint. Though I would stay with the stock mufflers but I have a set of Dominator set coming in the mail for the 2025 season. Can’t wait.

Taking of the orange sticker is the first think to do.

She was angry. because you did speak English. and going for the cheese. how dare you !!! 😅😂🤣

I was torn between the stelvio and mandello, went for the mandello in the end, but I do keep thinking about the stelvio
