Well I set out with the intention on really putting the 1290 through it's paces on curvy roads and rural gravel roads and I kind of accomplished the goal but not in any way I wanted to. The upside is, I now know how it handles on wet curvy roads and with a flat rear tire.

dude.nothin' like an adventure on one of your 1st rides out lol man I hope you do a walk around of it, that colorway looks great......
I did all that yesterday my friend. It will be on the next video for sure, well actually the next 2 videos. One on street performance and one for off road.
@@BigDaveTALKS hell yeah, lookin forward to it!
😎👊
Expensive first ride, but worth it!
Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing how it does for you. :)
Definitely worth it. Expensive yes but later down the road. Luckily I had a spare at the house and they didn't charge me a disposal or install fee. They said, didn't you get the bike yesterday😂. Hopefully this Dunlop Trailmax Mission Lasts a tad longer. At least till my break in is over.
Gotta watch that slip adjust setting! Congrats on the new ride and bummer on the tire - all part of the adv!
Yup, thing is I don’t have the tech pack and the only adjustment I have is On, or OFF. I put my spare on (Dunlop Trailmax Mission) and went riding the next weekend and had chunks missing. My wife said, what kind of roads are you riding on!? I simply told her, It’s not the roads I am riding, it’s HOW i am riding on them. I have ridden the Multistrada and Africa Twin on the same roads but they aren’t near as stable as this bike so I can simply push harder or have more fun😎. I love this machine.
@@BigDaveTALKS Gotcha! I've got a deposit on a '23 890R but I'm beginning to think I might be happier on the 1290R - there's time to change up if I could only make up my mind!
Hey my buddy is looking at the 890 also. Personally it just depends on how much highway you have to ride before getting to the off road. My trip this year will be 1K miles of highway before getting to the off road place I want to ride. That is the main reason I go with the bigger bikes. Other than that, I would love the 890. Choosing a bike nowadays is difficult, so many great options to choose from.
Dang! Bummer on the flat, man. That bike sure looks like fun.
Yeah that sucked. It is 95% what I want in a bike. This thing is everything that my Multistrada wanted to be, honestly if the Multi had the low slung fuel tanks, I would probably still have it.
That is a nice looking dashboard! 🙂
Getting a rock in the tyre is mad odd.... looking forward to pt2, soz have been slow catching up on your content mate 🙂
Yeah it was crazy for sure and the dash is HUGE, like a dang tablet in front of me. Hey no worries you actually have a channel to maintain I just have a hobby😆.
@@BigDaveTALKS mine is just a hobby too mate... I try to only watch TH-cam when I'm on night shifts at work, but have had some holiday, so fallen behind a little
That's purdy man! 😍
KTM TC is so much better for having fun with. It'll only interfere when it thinks you're near death. Honda TC is there for being safe above all else but sadly it causes safety issues with its interference.
Glad you've got the perfect bike now dude 😃

Once again I have to dig you out of the naughty list. Bro YT has it out for you. I see absolutely nothing wrong with your comment. Jebus Christ.
Anyway, you are right about the interference. on the AT the TC would kick in when passing if the bike was leaned too much which is why it always stayed on 1. Oh man did ever hit the nail on the head with this bike. It ticks all the boxes except one but with 160 HP, you already know it won't get the best of fuel mileage and I will probably have to carry some octane booster on a long trip incase I don't have access to premium fuel.
😂 Team Veggie, you betcha.
@@Booneville2024 I contacted KTM and they gave me the ol “CYA” answer. BUT, they did say that half to 3/4 tank shouldn’t be detrimental and to keep it in off road mode since the timing is retarded to cut the power down.
Either way like you said, lower octane should be fine in an emergency situation.
Well that’s easy just use thicker head gaskets and have the combustion chamber size increased. Just how much money one would want to spend is the question.
@@Booneville2024 can you two go and start you're own thread.
@@Booneville2024 coz I don't want your notifications for a convo for you.
Hope you saved the rock. Because that's a diamond in the rough in terms of how rare it is for a rock to pop a tire.
Didn’t save the rock, But I got it on VIDEO!😆. I wanted to keep it but it actually broke in half when the shop tried pulling it out. It was light as a piece of chalk though. It was definitely a one in a million weird incident.
"Im in the break-in period" Right as the tach is blinking letting you know you're NOT! hahaha . Sorry about that flat situation man. What kind of kitty cat tires are on there?
😆Man those are the Batlax AX41. The stock tires and they were working well till that dang rock ended the day. Now I have my spare on the rear and is handling very well, just not too great on the single track. (Dunlop Trailmax Mission). I now have 460 miles on it and it's safe to say, I definitely got the right bike. Something funny happened yesterday you should watch out for. The little smoked out transparent piece/ wedge looking thing, behind the windscreen, yeah it just flew off while riding😂 . Damn KTM already falling apart, but if that's the worst then I'm fine with that. Just make sure yours is secure. I was on the back roads and found it along side of the ditch, it would have sucked if it did it on the highway or a road with heavy traffic.
This is my dream bike but I'm afraid to get it now. It will make any other bike boring. Seeking variety at the moment.
Nah, I wish I would have set up some test rides, i would have saved a LOT of $$$ if i would have got this bike first. My Multistrada was fun but not off road, The Africa Twin does everything but is just boring unless you’re off road. I now know why KTM has such a loyal base even with their little QC issues. They just build a bad ass machine.
@@BigDaveTALKS
Thanks for your feedback. Enjoy the beast
@@expatbiker6598 you betcha
So did u stay with SAR1290? How is it after 9months? Or did u go to ATAS?
I had the ATAS before the 1290. The 1290 fits my riding style, hands down, way better than the AT. I still love the 1290 but added a T7 to the mix recently as well.
Don’t get me wrong, the ATAS is great, just not for me at the moment. I still love doing 3rd gear power wheelies 😎🤘
@@BigDaveTALKS did your at consumed oil? How about sar?
In 2,500 miles, for my New Mexico trip on the AT I had the same oil level when I got home.
On my Utah trip this year and 2,800 miles on the SAR, oil was fine as well.
Both have lots of highway miles at 75 to 90 mph as well.
@@BigDaveTALKS my atas consume 0,5l per 1000miles!! So I told honda to sort out asap
@@michsky46 whoa! Yeah I would be looking to get that taken care of for sure. BUT, I’m curious if that’s normal when it gets to a certain mileage. I only had 8K miles on my AT when I sold it. I didn’t have it but for about 8 or 9 months.
