    Great stuff as always Adam. Thank you. The best choice I ever made in my long motorcycle life was my 08 990 on the mountain trails of Washington state. Now I have her in the Utah desert and I still single track her every chance I get....albeit a bit faster here in the desert. There is something special about that big twin and I will probably keep her until one of us stops ticking, but this gen of the 890 R will soon become my goto big backcountry machine. Your approach to big adv bikes highlights exactly what makes them so fun for riders like me, and it is great that you continue to share your passion with so many. Few of us will ever send our bikes like you do, but your videos help show the massive range of these bikes for those willing to spend the time and energy learning how to ride them. Thanks for all the great content you've contributed over the years to the adventure community.

    YES!! Been waiting for this generation 890 for 12 months. To see you riding it and giving it a little review has made me more excited than I have been in a long time. Didn't expect this to pop up in my feed so soon! I will be buying this bike. Cheers Adam 🍻

    Love it as always, it does however create what me & my mate call the “Riemann / tarres “ effect . See you guys ripping these Adv bikes & instilled false confidence in us that we would buy Adv bikes & rip like we do on our enduro 300s. Ktm 990 for him & T7 for me. One year later we both sold them & building 500 exc Adv bikes , just not confident to take the big bikes down serous tracks for fear of dropping & not being able to pick up or getting proper stuck . Maybe we just weren’t ready for 200kg, both coming from hard enduro we thought we’d just make 200kg do what an enduro bike does & wasn’t the case.

    I have a T7 and KTM 690. Zero issues with the T7. KTM nothing but issues. From stalling, not starting and surging. Waited over 3 months for parts. Next time you speak with KTM mention quality control. It is well known the issues KTM have with their bikes and jokes about their bikes always breaking down. If you're a lucky one and have no issues, great. But for those who do it's stressful. I have no confidence in my KTM. KTM make great bikes but reliability needs to improve before I ever buy a KTM, Husky, Gas Gas again. The money we pay for these bikes!!!

      My Pan America is the same way. Reliability is key with an adv bike.
      The most useful reviews are 1 year or 7500 miles of ownership. What is good and also what broke. I looked at the KTM 390 and bought a Kawasaki KLX 300. Peace of mind is huge. Plus the KTM dealer was a dikweed, so there’s that too

      If they actually cared, they wouldn't "nickle & dime" their customers with software, and quality control would be better. The known and regular issues are absolutely and unequivocally, unacceptable, for the money you're asked to pay. They embrace the cash. Period.

    Hi Adam really enjoyed the video :) dad an I are looking at Ktms again, you are 110% right I always think even with guitars an motorcycles you don't wanna start with something poor it just puts you off, if you have the best package under you, you are safe and secure.
    The best analogy was when I was starting riding (my dad's bro raced Nortons) insisted I got leathers rs125 2 smoker mechanic comes out starts having a go about the leathers, my old man says well 60s still 60 doesn't matter if its a 125 or a blade (which I later had)
    We have had everything now brand wise had a bad experience with 2x 390s the displays were a big issue over here in the uk where they don't cover them under warranty eventually we had to reject them gutter! The suspension though even at that level of cost was on another level to the 300 Rally I had an the Himalayan. I agree as well about to much power on to chassis on the other bikes had 1200gsa's etc.
    On an 1150gsa now an I've been applying all your tips getting the weight off the back etc transformed the enjoyment.
    Thanks for taking the time to make these vids n hopefully soon as we can afford it 890s or Nordens inbound.

    I love *almost* everything about what I see so far on the new KTM 890 Adventure R with the one exception of that skid plate tank guard combo. I have a Norden 901, it has similar tank guards and they dent and crack super easily. Also, it looks like it's all one piece on the KTM, if that's the case, that'll drive the cost of a proper after market skid plate way up to stamp out that shape. Anyway, great video, love the extra look at the new TFT!

    Cool bike Adam. I got hooked in, recently, to your channel due to the "War Horse" series. I think that really resonates with a lot of us guys that rode as youngsters and want to get back into that type of thing. I recently had a life changing event that took me out of backpacking, and this seems like a brilliant alternative over car camping. That being said, I think that I would like to start with an old bike like that. I have always had the problem of being a larger guy and having to customize to my stature, so I'm not really even sure that this would even work for me. I am 6' 5" and built like a lineman at 400lbs. I am dropping in weight, but my size 16 6E feet and 2xl hands won't go away, nor do I think that I will get below a 3xl shirt size. 320 should be my target weight and I still think that I would blow out the suspension on these bikes. Any thoughts and suggestions would be helpful. Thanks so much!

      Fork and shock springs are easily upgraded to suit weight and are a game changer for overall handling. Go for it - get the bike, put heavy springs in it and don't look back!
