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 🍻

Got to say I love your channel! Lost in Albania was great. 30 years ago I spent an entire summer in Albania and from what I saw in your videos it doesn't seem like it's changed much at all

As always, a world class mini review of a great bike and insane rider ! Cheers

Felicitaciones Adam por mostrarnos una excelente edicion y magnifica calidad en todos tus videos.. saludos desde Sonora, Mexico.. 👌

yep that's pretty deceptive - ppl in general are not going to be able to do that. this bike is about 50kg too heavy

Seriously considering getting one of these.. its always great to see u on a KTM !

Stumbled across your channel today, watched The Warhorse, Lost in Albania and now this. Fantastic story telling and videography. Had a KTM 450 EXC years back, might have to really consider the 890 as my next hooligan mount when I'm not on the Harley.

As always..simple..to the point..honest and straight up! Thank you adam

Wow! They really improved the looks. I’m 73 and have been using my BMW 1200GS less and favoring my Husqvarna 701 more because of the light weight. Looks like the 890 would fill my needs.

I have the same bikes as you, had my 1200GS for nearly 12 years and I think the revised 890 Adventure (non R for me) would be a perfect replacement for the GS as I know the seat height is lower😉👍👍

Anther great video by ARiemann. Been a journey watching your channel grow 👍🏼 Keep it coming

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

One of the best moto reviews I’ve seen. Educational, entertaining and high quality by a humble and relatable professional.

Greetings from South Africa, love your videos, it was your adventure bike videos that tempted me to buy my 1090R back in 2018. Can’t agree more about suspension, my ass has been saved a few times thanks to these bikes amazing suspension!

Another great video Adam. KTM are lucky to have you showcase their bikes.👍🍻🇦🇺

And it doesn't seem that long ago that you were talking about setting up a yz450f for enduro and how capable of a bike they were , well im on my 6th or 7th yz450f and have placed my orfer for the 2023 and here i am once again many many years later listening to you and what you have to say about the ktm 890 adventure bike as this is going to be my next step in my riding life that im going to take as i could think of no better way to travel across the top end of this awesome country than on a adventure bike, i will ride till i die , stay safe 🇦🇺👍🏼

I was able to demo a 2022 890 earlier this year...I loved it, this model year looks even more capable, you hammered that track, Ill have to take a ride down to the dealer to see one in person when they arrive.

You’re right, the new look has hit the nail on the head. I love it!

Adam so glad I found your channel. Thank you for making good videos , it was great seeing you and your friend in the tenere desert raid launch giving it some.

Finally Slip 0 in Rally Mode. Thank you! (I am riding an early 2019 790 Adv R, also on Mitas E07+ and custom engine mapping)

Killin' it on that thing, brother. It was built to ride like that...although most won't. Excellent job

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.

Awesome review, amazing footage 👍

Thanks for your review Adam! Stay safe and keep kickin' great video...

Adam, Love your chanel you speak the truth about bikes all brands and a fantastic rider same as me lover of all bike models

I'm glad Adam when you said you had a hand in the design of the new 890. That's fantastic working with the R&D department of KTM. I use to design skyscrapers when I worked in Chicago many years ago. When the market crashed in late 2008 I decided I wasn't interested in a career in an office. I chose to teach myself to ride dirt bikes in Colorado. And I really never looked back.

This is too cool. That video you did was one of the reasons I got my 1290 SAR in 2017.

Great footage as always! That thing looks like a beast

Awesome improvements to 890R. Still wish ktm would do a proper 390R which has plenty of power for offroad adv riding.

Awesome video~ cant wait to add this bike to my KTM fleet~

Now...KTM 890 Adv R is back on my list...thanks for the new design 👍🏻

Excellent as always and great to see the manufacturers not getting too precious about working with independent people who do stuff with more than just their brand. 👍

Me encantan tus videos y me gusta mucho la agresividad en la conduccion que demuestras en cada paseo en la moto.. saludos desde Argentina..

Adam, you got away with it because of prodigious riding skills, brother. Full stop. Lovely!

There is no way I'll ever ride my 2022 890R like you but its nice to know its capabilities. Another interesting video and review with useful information. Thanks for making and posting it Adam.

Convincing statements, great footage and perfect riding. It's highly entertaining to follow your channel. And I do pick up quiet a few things. Off to Romania next week. Thanks a lot, Günter/Nürnberg

Well done Adam on becoming a tester/testimonial for this great bike. It looks good, I’ve got the 2021, might decide to upgrade to this…

Adam, Great to see an Aussie legend doing the promo vids for KTM, in Austria. Look forward to seeing the full video when released by KTM, not to mention seeing the bike in Aussie showrooms. Keep the great videos coming mate

Your videos are just tops. Nice job Adam.

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!

You havent looked very close, the 890R has beefy gas tank gaurds that work fine. Easy to replace. Its not part of the skid plate, one is aluminum,one is plastic. Not a combo.

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.

You are a good man my brother! God bless you and your family. I send you Love ,Health and positive energy. Stay safe and keep having fun!

Great video Adam! Cheers from Brasil

Damn! Andy on the new 890! The perfect rider for the perfect bike.

Yiiihaaa!! Will see you on november in the ktm event?

As someone who wants and will eventually get an 890R you said two key components most overlook or balk at the price. No matter how new or how many gadgets there are tires and suspension are key. When you said the suspension is better than most and "the suspension is the safest package to have under you" is vital after a long day of dancing with a 450+lb bike all day long. Until you ride a poorly suspended bike vs a properly suspended bike you will have no idea how much more grin inducing your bike will be.

Proof is in the pounding!! 😆 so good. Thanks for this video mate. Beauty riding. Looks like you may have just unseated my plans for a T7 with a suspension job. Hmmm.

I was hoping to see you in the 2022 Husky Trek but it looks like you have been busy with that Awesome bit of kit they really are amazing bikes and that motor and suspension package looks just phenomenal. I had the 790R and decided to go with the 690 Enduro R I loved the parallel twin so much I bought a 2021 890Duke R scalpel all awesome bikes cheers Adam great stuff mate.

wow ktm 890 !!!

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!

The Norden does have a bit more class than the KTM, but the suspension (especially the rear shock) is far inferior to the 890 R unfortunately. I've ridden them back-to-back and it's really noticeable. Quite a mis step by Husqvarna in my opinion.

As soon as I saw the ad I say....hold on that's not Chris Birch....but I've seen this rider body somewhere....is it Riemann I thought. And I day later I see this! Mate you're a legend. I wish I had your riding skills to invite to come over to Spain and ride together. I still do... I know some sick trails perfect for that 890 but I will too slow for you LOL! ..... but it's ok.

Its crazy to think about how production lines work. These bike already exist and are being ridden but we can't buy them for like 3 more months. I almost bought a 2022 yesterday, but this makes me want to hold off. Especially since KTM hasn't offered any discount incentive on the 2022 model.
