I traded my 1290SAR for the standard 890 Adventure. I’m 57, 5’8” with a 30.5” inseam and it was time to stop fighting the taller bikes. I’m digging it in this honeymoon phase.
You didn't take the 890S offroad and review it for us? I will never own an R model, as I'm only 5'9, but I will be taking the S offroad in a big way. I currently own a 390 ADV, and I take it places that most people wouldn't, and the 890S would be no exception.
Sigh ...The KTM 790 Adventure was already the perfect bike. Why did KTM need to add 10 pounds to the bike via a larger engine (and not really needed the power to weight ratio was fine q/the 790). Yes I own a 2020 KTM Adventure S and I love. If KTM needed to improve the 790 there were a few tweeks that would not involve adding a larger engine and weight. But alas, is'nt that the way it always seem to go. I mean motorcycles get larger as do cars for reasons that make no sense. If anything KTM should have found a way to shed a few pounds off the 790 not replace it with a heavier bike. W/E
If I ride frisky off road,like in this video...............I destroy the back tire in 1500 miles,and that's on a DR650...............I wonder how long a back tire will last on the 2021 890-R Ive ordered?
40 to 50kg difference I believe. I own a 2019 690 and enjoy it as a lightweight adventure bike. The 890 is a better traveler but I find the 680 tolerable. The 690 motor is surprisingly smooth for a single and has plenty of cruising power.
@@paul.vanhout57 Thank you, I have never owned a KTM so looking at options , moving to Wales and need to get the right bike, mainly off road. Thank you for the reply 👍

It's to bad the engine sounds like thrashing machine compared to the t-7. And hard to get over the fugly headlight. The t-7 also is much easier to ride if your being lazy. But i still bought 1.

The people who have reliability issues are the ones riding the 790 harder than anyone else. I say that as a T700 guy and I will confess, the 790 R is the ultimate off road weapon in the right hands.
@@Ironhawx not just them Regular folks, average riders who are very dissatisfied with the bike. I’m very happy for you that you got one of the good ones 👍👍 Safe riding 🙏
You hit the nail on the head. The aesthetics of that R wins hands down.

2.42 exact definition of balance.. Wow
I want the R version but KTM reliability worry’s me a bit
Great video!! Do you know what the top speed of the KTM 890 is ?
Great video, stunning scenery!

Weight wise , how would you compare this to a Enduro 690R?

You music is torture
I think you should mention all the reliability issues the 790 has and not just be KTM muppets 😝😁🤣
Cheers
BB 🍻🍻
Agree...sold mine and bought a Ducati....
@@ossie7940 Ducati Desmo is not exactly a staple of reliability either
