While touring the Dolomites 20 years ago (Aprilia Futura) I learned quickly to look back up every switchback for buses coming down. They take up the entire road and either can't or won't stop.
Why do you cut every left curve? What if a Bus or Truck is coming down the road ? Or don´t you need your head anymoore? That will hit first the downcoming vehicles........
I cycled up there, I remember every curve and every meter was earned in sweat and blood. Now I am looking forward to riding the Stelvio again with a motorcycle
Hi mate, beautiful scenery in the alps. Btw, are you running on Pirelli Scorpion STR? If so, how would you rate the grip on tarmac, on both wet and dry surface? Thnx in advance 🙂
Hi mate! Thanks, this ride is one that should be done again with a 360 cam view😎 I read a lot of things about these tires, personally i think the performance on tarmac is perfectly good. On slow corners you can feel them slide a bit if you push the bike. But this challenge is only fun. The grip is actually good especially on dry tarmac.
@@Killswitch-ON any time! Im looking for different tires tho just to see. Unfortunately there is not a lot of offroad possibilities where i live. But lets see:)!
Ich war aufm Rückweg meiner Hochzeit zur Franzenshöhe. Cool, dass du viele meiner Gäste auf Band hast! Und klar lass ich so einen lieber mal vorbei und schau mir das Schauspiel an. Ps natürlich hat das Mopet keine Chance 😊 lg TT5
Ja, ich hab deinen zweimal Blinker rechts auch so interpretiert, dass du ihn vorbei winken wolltest. Fand ich fair: warum sollte man auch mit dem Auto einem Mopedfahrer den Kurven-Spaß verderben?
Had a chance to hear any other Nordens with other exhausts? Akra still your favorite? Just picked my bike up and having a hard time deciding which one to get. Mostly between Akra and Wings at the moment...
@@huskydrive Really cant go wrong with an Akra Wings was appealing because it sounds good enough in vids, but could also do mid-pipe for same price as Akra. So hard to tell how it really sounds from videos. Shrug
hi! actually it’s not really loud without the DB killer. with the cat still there, it’s just a very deep sound. but. it’s a proper motorcycle sound in stead of the “moped” sound that i didn’t like on the testdrive.
Hello, doesn't the heat coming from the cat bothers you? I put a heat shield but its just still very hot on the left foot when riding over 25 °c, i check alot videos of the norden and there is not alot of people complaining about that heat...only people worried about the oil of shock getting too hot but i'm really annoyed by that heat on my feet and legs! I was thinking that maybe it could be something abnormal only on my norden? let me know. Thank you and ride safe.
i do notice this very well. but its not super disturbing as long as you keep driving. I only go outside the city and on tours. So for me this is fine, when I go slower, I do notice what you mean. At this point, it doesn’t bother me that much yet.
Audi definitely pulled away . He stayed on you with no problem . I actually would like to see how I would do against a Norden on my Road Glide . I had to turn volume way down
Seems that the bike does not like corners. You barely come around the turns without using the full road. On the straight pieces the acceleration is good...
Er holt vor der Kurve zu weit aus und geht viel zu früh auf die Innenlinie. Kurz, er schneidet die Kurven. Das sollte man auf normalen Straßen gar nicht, auf Pässen schon zweimal nicht machen. Und er sollte mit seinem Oberkörper auf seiner Fahrbahnhälfte bleiben.
EPIC?????? It is precisely because of such types that popular motorcycle routes are already being closed, especially in Austria, and driving bans and/or speed restrictions for motorcycles are being discussed in Italy, especially in South Tyrol. (You can only push a Ducati over the Brenner Pass / Tyrol because it's too loud.) A training video for "you shouldn't do it like that." Kind regards from someone who would also like to drive passes next year.
ive got the Arrow exhaust cat & cannister deleted Ti silencer & Rottwieler intake on my 901 , with the rapid bike adjusting the mix it runs awesome now way better than the stock lean state of tune but it doesnt sound as good as yours
@@huskydriveI read that the db-killers could not be removed anymore on newer Euro4 or Euro 5 bikes even on aftermarket exhausts like yours. Is the db-Killer of your Akra removable? You wrote it’s out so I’m asking myself how you did that.
@@huskydrive no ) just really interested in this bike , they just have common issues as coolant clamp which is loose and fuel smell cause of the fuel cap
What a great ride. It’s a long way from Qld Australia but I felt like I was there! I am picking up my new Norden this week but I have a question since you bike sounds so good, what mid-pipe and muffler did you fit??
Sounds great so how come, is it just the Akrapović muffler or mid pipe without the catalytic converter? Or did you install a mike near the exhaust muffler?
a horror road for all those who know how to actually ride turns...not once you got cars but also motorbikes ending up on your lane. ...I hate it. but I love to ride this pass aswell.. did it in 2023 after 5 weeks of ACT Pyrenees, portugal and spain ...on my way home to zurich.
Hi ! your bike is really beautifull , and on these roads the ride must have been awesome !! I ordered one and it's difficult to wait ... ;) i can hear that your bike is loud , is it your micro or did you remove the catalyst ? I wish you good rides on his handlebars !!
thank you! happy to hear you made the right choice. the bike is awesome on these mountain passes. how long is the wait? the cat is stock, the only thing that’s adjusted is the DB killer. I removed it. it’s not really loud with the stock cat. just a deeper sound.
@@huskydrive I've to wait until December , and i allready sold my bike ... Well, your bike sound great like that ! I think I'll do the same setting i like how it sounf ! When I tried the Norden that's the only negative I found. The sound to euro5 standards sucks :( I'm a little curious to see if without the catalyst and with the db killer installed, the sound will remain correct? the problem with the catalyst is also the heat because it has to be really hot to reduce pollution ... I also read somewhere that the exhaust manifold gets too close to the rear shock. This heats up the oil in the shock and it loses efficiency, they advise installing a heat shield.
@@SD-fi7uv You are right. The cat really gets hot on my Norden. Also thinking about removing the cat or to place a heatshield. One of the both is nessecery.
Tolle Strecke, tolles Panorama. Fahrtechnisch war das nicht so berauschend. Die Grundlagen fehlen. Der Auspuff alleine bringt es nicht. Die obere Hälfte des Motorrads: da wartet viel Arbeit
Ja der Fahrer sollte tatsächlich erst an seiner Performance arbeiten bevor er mit seinem illegal lautem Moped über wunderschöne Pässe scherbelt, welche dann wegen genau solcher Typen für uns alle als Motorradfahrer gesperrt werden. Danke für nichts! By the way finde die Norden schon sehr cool.
Ich bin ebenfalls Fan von nem vernünftigen Auspuffklang, weshalb meine auch nicht mit Serien-Tüte fährt, aber ich käme nie auf die Idee mit so ner Tüte den Hahn so nah an Fahrradfahrern (und ggfs. Fußgängern) aufzureißen. Das Reinquetschen undÜberholen in manchen Spitzkehren daneben. Ansonsten hat mir das Video gefallen.
@@MiDo-by8ibWenn man vorher den Kopf dreht und guckt ob was von oben kommt(was der Fahrer hier nicht tut), dann kann man in Kehren auch mal ausholen. Mit dem Auto musste ich das sogar machen, da ich sonst nicht rum gekommen wäre und mit Moped kann es auch nicht schaden. Sofern natürlich keiner von oben kommt.
TT didn't perform so bad, did it? Cornering faster than you I think. You kept him off well. Your main advantage being that you can overtake at will where he can not.
What a hero! Blasting with his akra along cyclists pressing himself around and between tight corners driving cars. What a loser on his pseudo off-road bike. I’ve got no issue with speed, but in traffic, you’re signing your last letter and other’s as you provoke their mistakes.
The Audi was not racing at all. If it is a driver with good driving skills, and the car has enough bhp, no way you can keep up on a mountain road. On the straights you can pull away, but in the corners he has the advantage, and then with enough bhp, i am very sure the car is on top first. But with that amount of traffic it is not safe to race.
You were passing the cyclists way too close and you ran wide in quite a few corners.. this could have ended badly. I had gravel on the Stelvio once in a corner (near the top) and had I been already wide I wouldn't sit here today.

A very good and useful hint. 👍
Brings back memories for me :) I've ridden it 3 times now
I love that road. Done it twice now. Harley both times. Plan to buy a norden soon. Thanks for sharing 👍
You better start reading about the ktm engines....
Don't You gus just love those steep right uphill turns? ;) I was there with my XX at 2022, love the ride :)
Why do you cut every left curve? What if a Bus or Truck is coming down the road ? Or don´t you need your head anymoore? That will hit first the downcoming vehicles........
That exhaust sounds sick wow
super nice video,cool,calm and collected.and that sound....fantastic..

wow I love that minimalist tft display
Its when explorer mode is unlocked and put no favorites in the settings.

Akra still your favorite?
Just picked my bike up and having a hard time deciding which one to get. Mostly between Akra and Wings at the moment...
I heard only the Remus and the Akra. But I prefer the Akra. I might change up for fun in spring as my bike is in wintersleep right now..
@@huskydrive Really cant go wrong with an Akra
Wings was appealing because it sounds good enough in vids, but could also do mid-pipe for same price as Akra. So hard to tell how it really sounds from videos.
Shrug
@@huskydrive Got the Wings installed, can definitely recommend. I would say it is a very similar sound to the Akra though.
Real pleased
I really like the super minimalist dash that’s dope 😎
Couldnt agree more. Its from the explorer mode setting.

Hi! Greetings from Germany. The country is Italy and the road is the Stelvio Mountainpass
You should go up early in the morning,almost no traffic.
Je l'ai fait très tôt au début du printemps.....j'étais tout seul.
Nice sound indeed!
sounds awesome
hey！how far do u think there is between wt we hear in the video and wt u hear on the bike？cuz i just feel its really loud

and if the db killer can be put back once you removed it？

Nice ride, did stelvio and other pass back in 2016, was awsome🙂🙂
Audi definitely pulled away . He stayed on you with no problem . I actually would like to see how I would do against a Norden on my Road Glide . I had to turn volume way down
Just a question, do you pull the clutch before cornering. The revs of the engine drops quit fast?
Yes, I was also still quite learning here 😉 but if you pull the clutch, the engine drops really fast indeed!
nice sound! does it have the original exhaust?
This is the akrapovic!
I rode the Stelvio back in the 70s, and it was not in that condition.😍
What was it like back then?
Great video, awesome road !
Thanks a lot!
Sounds nice 🤩👍
Oh wauw... if you missed the road-sign at 5:12... sends you flying lol...
In 1982 i had a handheld game machine wich constantly shouted "game over". Somehow you brought back that memory.
happy to hear it brought back memories:)!
What is you sound setup? Cant seem to capture my bikes sound well.
hi, I’m using the “schaaf” method.
Seems that the bike does not like corners. You barely come around the turns without using the full road. On the straight pieces the acceleration is good...
Yeah, weird. I reckon my 1995 BMW R1100RT would have no problems staying on it's own side of the road. I do have 29 years of experience on it :-)
Whats your fuel range bro?
Its arround 300km
those idiots who endangers others on public roads are responsible for new restrictions...
Ohne dir nahetreten zu wollen, lege ich Dir dringend ein Pässe- oder zumindest Kurvenfahrtraining ans Herz.
Was kann er besser machen? Ausser darauf zu verzichten, den blauen Audy zu hetzen oder sich hetzen lassen 😂.
Er holt vor der Kurve zu weit aus und geht viel zu früh auf die Innenlinie. Kurz, er schneidet die Kurven. Das sollte man auf normalen Straßen gar nicht, auf Pässen schon zweimal nicht machen.
Und er sollte mit seinem Oberkörper auf seiner Fahrbahnhälfte bleiben.
Bin selber Biker und Radler.Schande über solch egoistische Idioten
Need to be on your A-game there
I dreamed back 40 years when I heard this sound and I drove my Moto Guzzi over this mountain pass.
Nice to hear! Glad I could help👊🏻

Great video, I wish I had captured the exhaust sound when I filmed my Stelvio ride but I don't think the GS even with the Akra on would sound as good.

Und vor allem Finger von der Kupplung… aber nein… typisches Angstkuppeln vor der Kehre. Abgesehen vom Frevel des Kurvenschneidens, absolut unmöglich.

Driving like that you are risking your own life and all the others.

Your own way of riding is a littlle bit agressive, are you on a race court?
the handling on this bike looks so nice and easy . the view was amazing. i loves the A team joke . you lost the race 🤣
Or he forfeited by letting me pass because he got scared..
Not even you can stay on the right lane in right curves? Please train curves before you start speeding up!
Nice riding 👍

To do this road you must be very patient and full refuled with anti vertigo pills.
