@@rodrozil6544 I would not say comfortably but maybe with a lot of practice you will be able too. I'm 5'7 and I tip toe the bike and I find it comfortable.
Looks like a winner, but how will I laugh at a mate (more likely vice-versa), as the engine cuts because the stand is down, if the dash reminds us to raise it? Laughing at the little things is important, Kato! :p
The 890/901 platforms are wonderful examples of a razor sharp and exquisite first world solutions desperately searching for a problem to solve. 4:29 Downforce?! On a tall adventure bike?? Behave yourself, man! Great looking bike.
I love that opening scene and song. If anyone knows the name of it, I'd like to know what it is...... Shazam doesn't pick it up 🙂. Great review, I'm busting to ride the Norden.
Ahhhh it’s got the brand new 1290 Super Adventure Dash 👌🏾 good touch KTM/Husqvarna 🤩 Edit: All Ktm stock brakes are garbage lol need to be changed out with EBC or Galfers immediately!
For a number of reasons I’m interested in buying this bike but . . . besides thicker ear plugs, I s there any remedy for the “bucket ‘o bolts” sound? And, if there’s no remedy, what’s the cause of the racket? It’s not a deal killer, but it’s not the most attractive feature.
Great video work. About the bike, shared development work and engine show H does not have the resources to stand alone. All video reviews say all good things. None of them are critical or down on any aspect of anything. Good entertainment but not something you should hang your hat on for making a selection.
Too bad that the only tires listed in the booklet have speed code V (240 km / h) and there are no alternative tires ... (it is difficult to find something less road with code higher than Q or at most H). Husquarna (ktm) made the same mistake that Honda made with the Africa twin just released (which he remedied with the clearance before ... for those who want to argue with the Civil Motorizations ... and with the update of the booklet then). This information that almost never gives anyone is that you discover only after buying the bike
Bike looks great but unfortunately Ktm and Husqvarna haven’t got great longevity. I’ve had a few Ktms and a 701, unfortunately they all let me down, now I don’t go anywhere near them
@@toddbenfield6546 Really? Your obviously not riding it hard enough, it’s Ready to Race you know, not Ready to Repair 😂😂😂 joking aside, if you have a good bike keep it, KTM are brilliant to ride, although ownership can sometimes be equally as difficult. (Speaking from experience)
Yep, we're not late to the party though, this has already been on our TV show. We've loaded it late because we shared Chad with Bike Social and we didn't want people to moan...
Basically a KTM with better colours and certainly better looks. Edit, trad round headlight is a breath of fresh air in a sea of transformer insectoid bizarre dreadfulness.
5:17 I can't belive that he is an auto-journalist and saying it's different from any bike in the market like Husqavarna hadn't used that same #Headlight for #Svartapilian and #Vetapilian and now they recycled it for Norden , the rest of the review felt fair but since it's well known engine some words about it's reliability wouldn't hurt audience .
Just bought this bike 3 days ago. Its been the most amazing motorcycle i've ever had. I'm in love guys.
What's is your height in cm? Can 5'4/163cm person ride it comfortably?

The opening scene on this video is jaw dropping, who ever filmed that - thank you 🙏
Er, a bloke with a drone.
Thank DJI with gyro stabilization and camera gimbal
@@gpw203 I love ktm but that new ducati desert x looks amazing. ridiculous price though
Adam, I enjoyed your review. I think it's good to see what it means to a "regular" user.
Now let's see what Chris can wrangle out of this bike.
Cheers
Well done!!
What a spectacularly beautiful place.
The bikes okay too ;p
I think it’s a beautiful bike. Lovely lines. Best!
What an amazing place. I could spend weeks in that environment and not get bored of it.
Yes Thank God I will buy one for myself
awesome video thanks!
im praying for a vitpilen 901 :D
Can’t wait to see 901 with Desert X
I think it looks fantastic.
That good a place, i will enjoy even on a sub 500, add to that the soothing music 🙂

Good to see ya embracing the blandness Chad and just shaving the lot of 👍🏻😂
Love the looks, great video!
Great review.
This channel inspires me to stop being poor so I can buy all of those bikes haha
We like to inspire, in whatever form it takes 😂

Great looking bike.
I'd be very interested in a norden 401 or a 501 based on the upcoming 490 twin
Everyone +100
Where is this, the flooded road for example?
It's in Wales Dan, close to the Devils Staircase: Llanwrtyd Wells LD5 4TR
I think I must’ve missed which location this review was filmed… Perhaps the reviewer could’ve mentioned where he was a little more frequently…
Azores
Good Keith Lemon impression
I want to listen to that akrapovic exhaust, the regular one sounds like rubbish. Wonder if it changes it at all...
Nicer looking than the KTM I say.
Preferred the grey of the concept bike, but still looks great.
I love that opening scene and song. If anyone knows the name of it, I'd like to know what it is...... Shazam doesn't pick it up 🙂. Great review, I'm busting to ride the Norden.
Sorry to say, but Chris makes review way more better and inclusive…
I think it looks great.
Which place did you it was?, Couldn't catch the name properly
The Azores
Is Referenced Chris video posted yet? Url por favor.
No, we’re getting the bike in a couple of weeks.
Cool bike
how is the wind protection?
As a KTM 990 adventure ridder me likes it.
👍👍
thought it would be Chris
It will be, we have one in a couple of weeks.
Same, also expected Chris…
We need a 901 rally, this is just toe dipping. Sweet thing for a commuter though

Take a shot every time he says "Norden 901"

Funny I’ve had 5 road ktms and the brakes have been exceptional on them all. And owned many more motox, enduro and supermoto models
I agree, can't really pinpoint but doesn't look as attractive as it did in concept few years back... The lines look chunky and slow...
Bring Chris
He's coming!

Agreed, you should never make decisions on any review, get out there and ride one for yourself.
Can it be true that I'm first
Looks that way
Or could it be that you are a medal hunter? Why not just say something about the content of the video?

That was 2 months ago, people! where have you been?
On TV Sam, we played this on our TV show before loading, thought we'd wait for the second wind!
굿

What happened to your 701 and other ktm you owned ?
Love everything apart from all the modern electronic rubbish. Take it all of and charge two grand less. Perfect 👍
It’s a KTM. It will either have electrical issues, gasket leaks or some other problem very soon
Dash water ingress, oil leaks at front sprocket
@@Bow-to-the-absurd I suppose that's better than oil leaks at the rear sprocket!
Radiator leaks ...
I have a 1090, and not 1 problem after 3 yrs👍

Seriously? Talk about being late to the party! This bike was launched last year.

Concept drawing was much better looking.
Modern 950/990 adv :D
it looks like Royal Enfield Himalayan with plastics
Exactly how you should paint a bike, if you don't want to sell it.
Similar to a Transalp 700
No tubeless wheels? Kinda sucks.
Great bike but really hate this "stand up" reviews.... Chris got better style of reviews
Hi, we don't like them either but that's all that's really possible on the launches.
@@BikeWorldTVshow I would suggest - the best or nothing :) Don’t let this happen again…
@@stasysad.764 Don't let this happen again, so sorry! We had no choice, Chris was away in Portugal.
