Great effort on those trails. My dream bike is the 1290SAR, but I would struggle on those trails being 171cm tall, 33" leg and 80kg. Probably leave the 690 Enduro up to that stuff. I do mainly offroad touring these days. The body is wrecked.
Riding the KTM Canadian Rally (in BC) today and tomorrow, you would do quite well. Impressive riding, and inspiring, looks like I don't have to go so dam far for some great trails.... (from Ontario). I subscribed after watching you ride....and I have a 1090r.... Nice job, Michael
Just got one of these two days ago. Have very little if any off road experience. Wanted a bigger bike that can do this. Looks like I'm gonna be taking it pretty easy for a while. Coming from a honda cb500x...very different.... You made it look easy.
@@Ragenarock( On my main account)It's been awesome! I can't believe it's been well over a year now and I still love it. On or off road it's a beast..I just started slow on some fire roads, a few adv classes, etc and it really helped. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks Darek. That bike is truly a one of a kind. I have to say that the suspension KTM put on it saved my ass more than a dozen times...just that day!
I just rode these trails as an reintroduction to offroading on my 2016 Africa Twin Manual. I was sore for 3 days after 8 hours of riding that monster so this video is PTSD for me lmao. That said, it's a perfect trail system for ADV bikes as it's not too narrow and the singletracks aren't crazy switchbacky. The sand will bite you if you're not willing to send it though.
Amazingly perfect! That's got to be a real off-road...Both the bike and the riders are very capable...I should definitely have such a machine...I was thinking of Africa Twin but this is different I.M.O. Thanks and congratulations for this valuable video....kudos to you!
Wilderness in Jersey?!..... Must be the Pine Barrens, lol. The only other wilderness(ish) in this state is the NW Highlands but it's hard enough to hike those roots and boulders, let alone dirt bike it. Anyway, I didn't know there was public land you could dirt bike in. I guess that makes at least one fun thing to do in this nanny state.
That's some brilliant riding! With your skills would you be able to do these trails on the bigger 1290 SAR? Or you reckon it really is just a GT in the guise of an R?
Thanks a lot. Coming from a R1200GSA i believe in the least electronic possible options. Hence the choice of the 1090R for me. Also the fact that it is lighter (feels way lighter than it actually is). To me the 1290 is a road bike. The 1090R is truly both! Yay!
Hey Oli, this footage is clearly stabilised in post and the result is fantastic. Especially the ride through the woods is so smooth it makes it actually nice to watch. Would you share which software you used? It looks a bit like it's done with Hyperlapse. Great work!
prmpfbubub Thanks but i will disappoint you when i say that it is the image stabilization of the gopro hero 5 and nothing more. Coupled with the fact that the sound now is way better since it is not confined in a water proof case. The new gopro 5 is truly stunning and i believe they raised the bar again.
Area you're riding in looks familiar. Sadly, there's a good chance those "logs" were put across the trail on purpose. I'm impressed on how well you are able to ride a bike of that size through those trails. Fun to watch...and I bet even more fun to do.
Awesome Oli. Looks like you are having a ball on that monster! How it was meant to be ridden! Brians bike looked like it had a handle on the crash bars? What is that? Spotted when he was in the mud.
Thanks a lot Nerb. We try pushing it the more we can. I have to admit those new suspensions are no marketing BS. They truly work. Did not bottom out once unlike Brian... ;-) Brian will answer you but i think those are highway pegs when he goes on long multiples days camping adventure rides in PA/VA. Thanks again for your support and comments Nerb1...now i need to learn how to properly wheelie the 1090 like you do on yours!
Hey Nerb , those are highway pegs( Advdesign.com) they really do help stretch they legs on the longer days ( on road of course) . Here's the link www.advdesigns.com/pralhipebl.html Hope this helps Cheers
That was better than pornhub. The sound of that motor!! Awesome! Your handling of that bike!! Insane!! Best KTM 1090 Adventure R video on youtube!!! I'm getting one!!!!
How is the 1090R for long slogs down the highway? Comfortable? Or would something a bit more pavement biased be better for that sort of thing (such as a DL1000)?
Those are the Rottweiler Mirrors. They are screwed to the OEM hand guards. They are great, sturdy and excellent quality. Worth the price. Yes my Montana is paired with SW-Motech Quick release mount with the Garmin cradle
Where did you guys start out from? I usually head out from Atsion ranger station and head out into Wharton. Do you remember where that sand quarry was?
Which gps mounting bracket do you have? The KTM one or aftermarket? Not the AMPS mount but the piece that attaches to? I like the position you have yours in
Nice, I ride south jersey a lot on my husky but I am looking to add and adventure bike to the mix and I am really torn between the 2018 Africa Twin or the 2017 1090. I believe that the 2018 model Africa Twin will be more on par with the ktm but time will tell!
I think for me, being the size I am and the fact that I will probably be doing some 2up with it, the 790 is going to be a bit on the small side. On the other hand, I don't want to go to something like the 1290 either as I think it would be too big for the type of trail riding I want to be doing.
2wheelLove then buy the 1090 cause i saw what the africa twin 2018 will be and it is not even close for off road to the 1090 They just upgraded the AT with a larger tank and more travel suspension. Those suspensions suck big time. And the overall quality of the AT is really cheap.
look at my videos. I tried the AT in Nevada at Taste of Dakar. There is no comparison. The 1090 is the business. More grunt in the engine and power. Suspension is really upgraded and the 1090 is really close on road to my 2015 1200 GSA. The 1090 is really the best big bike off-road right now! Get it!
Thanks Tim. I broke the lever today today. I am guessing the stress that i put on it the day of that video weaken it and it gave up today. Thank god it was already time to go home. Ordering a new one now!
Dont get me wrong....Im blown away at the capability of the ktm on a trail meant for a dirt bike. I just picture that bike on more of an open forestry service road. Nice riding though!!!🤗🤗🤗
Greatskills and a super video man! I was reading through the comments cuz (obviously) I have been drooling over this new 1090 for 2017 and checking material out. And found you are 5' 8" tall!!! Woa! Now you really got me thinking, I am just about your height and even when I don't intend to do such a rigorous single track rides, I am still impressed and hesitant by this being such a tall bike. How badly do you think a rookie (at dirt trails) rider 5' 9" and about 32 inch inseam could ride this bike all around including some easier than this adventure trails? I would really appreciate your feedback. riding Yamaha XT-350 now, but would like to have more long haul capabilities.
Thanks for your comment. The 1090 will make you do more things you can imagine. Yes sure it will be easier is you can touch the ground in all the situation but frankly if you are 5'9 you should be good to go with boots.
Great video and ride. I'm looking at a KTM 1290 or a 1090. This may be an odd question but I often ride alone, can you comment on what it takes to upright one of these KTMs vs say other bikes like the a BMW R1200 GS? Are they hard to pick up?
Thanks a lot. That day was tough. It depends if you really ride more off-road or not. 1290R is for road in my opinion. The 1090R is great off-road. Probably the best big bike off-road right now. I used to have a 2015 R1200GSA and the GS is easier to pick up because of the cylinder sticking out on the side so the bike does not lay down flat so easier to pick up. But again GS for me was not enough off-road capabilities. On road the GS was excellent however the 1090R is pretty close tho. So overall for me the 1090R because of being so good off-road. Finally it is always better to have a friend with you so you can push each other to do things you would not even thing of alone and also because if one crashes the other one has your back. Good luck with your KTM they are excellent bikes!
Toooo Cool OLI! Great terrain. You make the 1090 look like a light trail bike. A you definitely opened my eyes to the 1090.
Awesome video! I too enjoy beating my 1190 in the woods. Brap on! 👍
Great effort on those trails. My dream bike is the 1290SAR, but I would struggle on those trails being 171cm tall, 33" leg and 80kg. Probably leave the 690 Enduro up to that stuff. I do mainly offroad touring these days. The body is wrecked.
Kaegis 690 or 701 is a wise choice

Dayum. Nice riding. I have an 1190 R and I wouldn't dream of trying to navigate those rutted narrow trails through the trees. Great job.
Thanks but anybody can do it...it's a 1090 and Brian's has a 1190
Wow. My favorite motorcycle video I have seen so far. This video convinced me to get this bike. Good job guys.
A very enjoyable adventure! Nice skills!
It was funny when your friend got stuck in the sand and the funny music was playing
Thanks! Very fun day indeed.
Great vid! The 1090 is surprisingly good when it gets messy provided you have the minerals to treat it like a dirt bike
Just got one of these two days ago. Have very little if any off road experience. Wanted a bigger bike that can do this. Looks like I'm gonna be taking it pretty easy for a while. Coming from a honda cb500x...very different....

The video, i have been looking for🙌🏻
That is some riding skills right there.
Brillant! Love that bike. You have some skills sir!

Thanks and congratulations for this valuable video....kudos to you!
Thanks man. I rode the AT...dont think twice. The 1090 is the best adv bike with reall off road capabilities in the market right now! Cheers
Nice Single
Nice Single Tracks
those trails look fun. i only been out to south jersey a few times. loved it each time
It is great for us East Coasters
You and your friends ride some insane trails!
Thanks man. This bike is probably the best best BIG bike off-road right now!
Love that bike. I'm getting one in a few weeks and I will be hitting the pine barrens ASAP.

Great video bud.
Thanks bro. I really hope you get it soon. You will love it!

Sadly i sold my 1090 for a 450 to do even more dirt technical stuff...i am gonna miss her!
I noticed when you were picking your bike up that the oil light comes on and then goes off after you start it up? is that normal?
Oil light is on always before you start the bike not because the bike on the ground
Awesome Oli. Looks like you are having a ball on that monster! How it was meant to be ridden!

Good vid
Respekt guys ya lIfe my dream
Very nice 👍
gott to jump logs at 90 degrees on a 500 pound bike. It’s all in the momentum. Dont hesitate.
awesome ride!
9:39 almost had a really bad day. good job saving it
yep but 6:47 way worst trust me...those whoops kept me twisting that throttle even tho i did not want to...
Great video
Chan Dong thanks
What mirrors are those and are they better than the stock stalks??? Great video BTW!!!!
Thanks.
th-cam.com/video/C8hfDpBhrIw/w-d-xo.html
for off road they are the best and decent on road
Thanks for the link!
That was better than pornhub.
The sound of that motor!! Awesome!
Your handling of that bike!! Insane!!
Best KTM 1090 Adventure R video on youtube!!!
I'm getting one!!!!
Captain Barnicle Thanks man. This bike is a beast and make you do things you would have never imagined doing on a big bike. Get it!
OMG MASTERS KTM THE BEST
Never thought N J looked like that. Wont look at Jersey the same again. Looks like home
Why you turned the camera off it was great!
I hope this is exactly tomorrow's program!! ;-)
Me too Ed. The Logs single track is the hero section of PB 2014. I have it in the GPS. Let's do it!
13:05 Holy deer tick batman! That's why you bring long pants and head wear.
Nice rippin!
Bike sounds amazing. What exhaust are you running?
Aaronb2245 akrapovic
Oli M thank you
@@Aaronb2245 db killer removed tho otherwise it is not worth it and they are spot welded so it requires some finesse
How is the 1090R for long slogs down the highway? Comfortable? Or would something a bit more pavement biased be better for that sort of thing (such as a DL1000)?
the 1090 is amazing on road and very close in comfort to my previous 2015 1200GS but off road the 1090 is the king of adv bikes right now
Is that a GPS or trail tech above your speedometer?
Montana 680 Garmin
good riding
How did u get the mirror attached your bike? Also is your Montana 680 attached to the sw-motech quick release gps mount? Awesome video.
Those are the Rottweiler Mirrors. They are screwed to the OEM hand guards. They are great, sturdy and excellent quality. Worth the price. Yes my Montana is paired with SW-Motech Quick release mount with the Garmin cradle
Can i get the tracks from that day? I'd love to try it with my s10.
i dont have any tracks, we are just riding around and sometimes get lost.
Where did you guys start out from? I usually head out from Atsion ranger station and head out into Wharton.
Do you remember where that sand quarry was?

Handling it!
Thanks. That big beast is really easy to handle...up to a point!
Deciding between this and the Africa Twin.

My last bike was a KTM. I have heard so much about the AT. I want to try both but I can keep my KTM shirts LOL.
Thanks for the posts and advice.
Gnarly road that looks like one of our main highways in Australia , just joking we would have more bumps.
MrShadow6292 let me see some videos of you on your super trails with a 1090?
Don't go getting all upset now I was only joking.
Where is this at?
South jersey
Great vid, shame about the brake lever.
Thanks Tim. I broke the lever today today. I am guessing the stress that i put on it the day of that video weaken it and it gave up today. Thank god it was already time to go home. Ordering a new one now!

What you are looking for 15:25
actually 14:25
How tall are you?
shadow 5'8
Oli M Is not the height of the motorcycle problematic?
sure it would be better if i was 6ft but it forces you to be better than the ones who can touch the ground...
Wrong bike for those trails.
Paul Watson i have a 450 exc too but i love a challenge. Not everyone feels the same and thats ok!
