That loos FANTASIC.! I like Ram Falls, it's doesn't look too popular, which is nice. I have never owned a DR 650 before, I'd like to buy one, just to see what its like compared to my KLR.
DR seems nice enough. Much easier on marginal road or off road than a klr but less protection. For me, I really love the small bore 250s. There’s something just calming about riding something so light and simple. I miss my GS on the biggest of highways, but that’s the only time. The rest of the time my 250 feels like being a kid again.
LIKEWISE, as seen in my latest V. I've had a 2016 WR 250r with low kms, but it's just too high as I am Petite. Coem on Yamaha make an Aluminum Framed WR 300r.!! BTW: I featured you in more of my past videos. 😜
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! The ones you have made on the WRR are some of the BEST I have seen. I'm looking at one now and would like to know how you like the little fairing it has. At what speed do you think it makes a difference?
@coultervid thanks. I’m 50/50 on the fairing. Lighting is excellent, dashboard is awesome and it keeps the air if you chest really well but it causes me a lot of buffeting in my helmet. Best speed is 80km/h
Pretty much any bike can be a good adventure bike but it depends on how much and what speed you ride. I do 12-15000km a year so I traded performance for durability. The KTM would be awesome for speed and capability but went last as long as one of the 250 dual sports. I would probably have plated my KTM 350 if I did fewer miles. Such fun bikes but the maintenance is much higher
Excellent Vid. Thanks for sharing. Love riding all those areas!
Nice to bring back memories of riding a dirt bike through wooded trails. I still miss my 1984 KDX 200 with a nice sized fuel tank.
I’ve heard those are legendary in the woods. Never ridden one though
It was a great ride, and a great video. Thanks for bringing me along!
Next year with 200% more blurring.
@4:31, clutch problems on that particular DR650?......you don't say. 😂
I hear it may be a thing with this exact bike. Always near, but not at the top, of a hill.
DR650 clutches are weak for sure, but not quite as unreliable as T7 "handlebar servos" 😁

Always good to see new terrain. I plan to get out exploring a lot more next season on the 390 Adv. Maybe see you out there.
So many good places to get out to. Have to get a small bore group out there.
Excellent!

I'm trying to decide on my first bike for exploring nature. I'm curious to know if e.g. a KTM 500 would be a good choice?
