I have a 2016 KTM SA and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the semi active suspension ... regardless of what you dial in for damping or drive mode. The fact that you can dial in, or as you say "button push", to drive in a variety of environments is fantastic and does not surprise. Put the right tires on it with the right air pressure and this bike is fantastic and at the top of its class. The challenge with this bike has is its pannier saddlebags ... too expensive and not sturdy. Additional there is not enough air passing between the bag and the frame, causing (wind) resistance because of the flat surface of the pannier, causing stability issues at higher speeds. There is an easy fix ... KTM FLOATING CARRIER CASE SYSTEM 1090/1190/1290 - 60712912144. This bike rocks.
My 1190 used to default to standard settings but after a factory upload it now stays on your chosen setting. I would of thought a similar upload would do the same with this.
You guys should stop promoting IRON HORSE. They are the biggest rip offs on the market. I insured my bike with them, had the confirmation, and when it was time to claim a year later they didn't know who I was. The owner him self sent me and Suzuki the insurance confirmation. When I put in the claim after an accident, he called me a liar, until I showed him the e-mail from his personal account. Stay away!!!!
Good review, like your channel. Leave the space age laser music at the UFO!
AT 2:08 that rear wheel does not look good ...

Great visuals, bit too heavy on the music - can hardly hear what Mat's saying!
Good review but nothing new. You said that this bike will go Offroad but why you didn't take it ?!
Show this bike on a trail please !!
Good review as always. I'm waiting for the test of the Kawasaki Versys 1000 2015.
Pretty accurate review. I've had mine for 3 weeks and about 1300 miles and it's an absolute hoot to ride. Reminds me of a slimmer and faster GSA.
The music is too loud.
how good is it off-road??
Shouldn't be much different than 1190.
back ground music is too loud
When the music is as loud as the Narrator,, it’s very annoying 👎
Can u please ride the next Super adventure in lesotho roads there are much better
Hi Guys anyone know what tires would grip well on race track for the super adventure T?
