    How epic! I just happen to cross your channel. What a wonderful adventure. When I went to change out my bike, I went for my V-strom 650. Thought I wanted a DR but I wanted the luggage and everything of a GS 1200 so the GS won! I love the DR I wish I had money for both

    Not sure I've ever heard it referred to this way.........typically just Continental Divide Trail....but I like it better! Videos like this are what "forced" me to buy my first adventure bike!! So thanks for doing your part!!

    What an awesome trip. I can only guess at how much prep went into your trip. You and friends held out with flying colors despite the mud the cold, the broken rack, did I say the rain and cold! Lol. Great trip
    Hope you do another.

    Appreciate the video and effort to produce it. Gives an insight into an epic adventure. I enjoy the western states for adventure rides and plan to spend a lot of time out there this year. Who were your ride partners? Friends, family? Good rapport. Plus I’m a DR650 man and part time Florida myself.

    Thanks for that fun and exciting video. How many days did the trip take? How much of the trip was on Black top? Would you recommend this route over the GWT through Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. I really appreciate the video footage and all the time to document an incredible trip.

    I have owned three dr 650’s , and all time favorite bike of the 15 bikes , I have owned … for the money , you can’t beat them … big fun … I recommend getting a , seat concepts custom seat , to your height and weight … in my opinion Seat Comcepts , makes the best comfortable , durable seat , and great looking …

    I know zero-point-zero about DR650's. I have rode BMW Adventure bikes for a real long time with almost 100,000 miles on them around the world. I love them but the weight is bugging me and im not as strong as I was... Ok, so I'm planning on going on another 25,000 mile ride. I want a lighter bike but not sure if I want a heavier KTM 890 450 lbs or a lighter DR650 375 lbs. Pro's and cons... Simplicity vs complex. Comfort vs harder ride. More stock vs adding a ton of mods.... You get it... How was your experience with the DR's? BTW: I rode from Miami to Thailand in a BMW F850GSA... Long and hard ride.

    Great trip
    Great recap of your journey
    I'm jealous
    I will very much like to look at that ride more closely
    But
    I'm a bit confuse about all the version of that continental divide (car, adventure motorcycle, bike and hiking)
    Any suggestions to start to direct me to the right gpx (map or track)
    Thanks in advance and again
    Kudo for you guys what a nice trip

    Just bought my DR650 and want to do this exact sort of thing! How do you know or how'd you meet your riding friends? None of my buddies want to get their licenses XD

    Im thinking of hiking the CDT and bringing a truck/motorcycle to 'leapfrog' (drive, walk to other vehicle) My question is, i would like to get small moped for ease of use, Im happy taking side roads with it, but am wondering how often I have to drive on freeways...and if its safe to take on a fwy...any advice?

    It'd be cool to see a version without the music. The sound of the bikes and maybe some candit thoughts on the road would make it so much more real.

    so uh...if i buy a kawasaki KLR 650 ..can i do this trip on it? or will i die, ive never been on a motorcycle or adv bike ever :O

    • @dualsportedc
      @dualsportedc 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A KLR will go anywhere you have the guts and skill to ride it. I've seen 60,000 miles of this planet from the seat of a KLR including brutal places like the Rubicon Trail

  • @fixento

    The DR650 is not a dirt bike, it's a Dual Sport/Adventure bike, street legal, and can do 100 mph on the road..
