Great video. I have been watching you for a while and I love your stuff. Someday I would love to do one of these courses. Thanks for taking us along for the adventure.
Another excellent video and pitch-perfect teaching from Chris and the KTM guys. I made the mistake of attempting some off-road trails on my Caponord after just watching Chris handle the 1190 like a light-weight enduro. All I got was cracked and scraped plastics and a healthy helping of humble pie! Dropped down to a KLX300 to develop some real-world skills. LOL
Chris Birch makes those big heavy bikes look very nimble, but I can't help noticing that he's not using a standard rear shock. White spring, Touratech?
How 😎 I need this as a first time big bike offroad rider. I've riden offroad Since 6yrs old but big adv bikes like the 1190 advr I have now is a new thing. I've never been on anything bigger than a 450 thumper offroad. Plenty of time on sport and cruisers but the 1190 adventure r is a different kind of beast!
I wouldn't got to this for a first time adventure if you have a dirt background. You need something smaller because you'll always be looking and wanting to go on those tighter trails.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV oh don't worry I have a 350 exc-f for the single track stuff. Got the 1190 adv r for the long haul and less technical riding. At least till I get more comfortable on the big bike. I live in the north east of the USA so if I want to go out west and ride I have to trailer the 350, just can't deal with service intervals and maintenance trying to ride 2000-3000 miles one way to ride out west. So the big adventure is perfect for long trips if I don't want to trailer.
Good catch! His elbows were outside till he start giving throttle to start skidding so maybe it was just a mistake but also maybe he did it while trying to weight more inside of the bike to help skidding. It's a heavy bike though must be hard to skid like that.
I did this course with Chris a few months back, albeit on my Tiger, not a Katoom. Fabulous course and Chris is, indeed, a genius on these things. What isn't clear at th-cam.com/video/mScFHdTo9OM/w-d-xo.html is how steep that rock is, and the stoppie he did on the way down.
Anyone put any High mileage on their KTM 1190? Im curious about Engine reliability for long long Journeys? I know of the stator/alternator issue and the airbox issue. Anything Else? I like the R1200GS engine Reliability (notice i didn't say electronics) but these bikes seem nimble compared to it.
+TurdBucket I've interviewed a number of long term riders and those interviews will be posted soon. Including one guy that has ridden half way around the world.
+TurdBucket Bought the bike last year and done 19k in 10 months, 9k from it was done in 5 weeks during our travelling. No issues so far. It's a great bike for touring + dirt roads, lots of fun. The only downside is back tyre. Because of the power and fun factor the thread is disappearing quite fast :)...
+TurdBucket A german fellow Martin Leonhardt has been riding the 1190 ADVR for 2 years now all across South America (wow, 2 years travelling). He's to my knowledge one of the few non KTM-sponsored riders who put some permanent abuse to the bike. He had his share of troubles, but I think that the BMW, Tiger, etc would have had just as many problems. If you want reliability, less is more. Don't go for the latest model, but rather for a bike that has been on the market for a few years (known to the mecanics and the community), as little electronics as possible and if which can be self-serviced as much as possible (i.e. Yamaha Tenere XT660Z). The 1190 ADVR is a great bike, but I wouldnt choose it if I had to depend on it (neither would I go for a BMW, Tiger, etc.)
+TurdBucket They have a reputation for killing fuel pumps, too. I was just reading a review last night where a guy rode San Francisco to North Carolina/Georgia and it literally died as he rolled into his friends beach house driveway. 3000 miles on a new bike, pretty weaksauce. Not something you'd want to take on a honest to god adventure across a deserted area. I've ridden my Multi on the road with these bikes, they seem great, but all the shit that goes wrong with them is a bummer.
Does anyone know what the comfort setting should be for the front and rear shocks on the 1190 Adventure R? I'm approximately 90kgs with riding gear on.
+Carl Michael It was a KTM event where riders with those bike were invited. Similar to what BMW and Yamaha do in various countries through out the world.
well done guys chris is the best ive ever seen on the big adv bikes !!!
Chris Birch makes it look so effortless! Watch the pro in action at 0:55, just sublime to watch. Cheers guys
Looks like a blast, these trainings are always a lot if fun and a lot of education.

KTM1190 Adventure が欲しくなるね!!

Very good video! I loved the editing and the riding skills were awesome as always with Chris... and that save at 2:00 was absolutely unbelieveable
Chris Birch is amazing.. Maybe we should make hime do the Romaniacs on an 1190.
Great video, nice bikes.
Looks like a blast!

there's like a million bucks on bikes right there

Notice that at 1:41 that his elbows are down, or more accurately in, not up as he had stated.
Good catch! His elbows were outside till he start giving throttle to start skidding so maybe it was just a mistake but also maybe he did it while trying to weight more inside of the bike to help skidding. It's a heavy bike though must be hard to skid like that.

Fantástica KTM
Buen profesor

that looks like fun
I'd like to attend this... Thank you.
Next training series in January 2017
geniiiiaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
WELL DONE I SAY ! ^^
Man those are some expensive bikes to be crashing. I was pretty timid riding my CRF250L on single track, never mind one of these.
They're built to be dropped, a few low speed tumbles in the dirt shouldn't hurt them
Cela semble être une bien belle excursion. ;)

tooooo haaaavyyy bike shid

3:20...that’s me, guaranteed
What type of mitas tyres are they used? Thx for info
Why are they all on 1190s are they rentals? Or are other bikes not allowed?
+Carl Michael It was a KTM event where riders with those bike were invited. Similar to what BMW and Yamaha do in various countries through out the world.
Would it be a bit impractical to buy a 1000cc+ bike if i am smaller in weight and height?
If you're a learnerYES YES. If you can ride and stand on the pegs and go hard. No No No.
Thank you for the quick reply sir!
супер
WHAT KIND IF TIRES DID THEY USE ?
Mitas E-09
