That's the exact trip I want to do on my Ténéré 700 from Vic. My mate races there sometimes on an RZ 250 and i'd love to ride to the lake when speed week is on. I was there 20 years ago in a car, summer 2002 but camped on the west coast of the lake instead. Absolutely stunning country.

Excellent ride. Salt lake looks amazing.

Great video bro! And a big help!! Im looking at the DR650 for the East Coast myself and it looks so so good!! Cheers!!

Insane vid mate....wanna get out there real soon

It’s incredible how much more fuel efficient EFI is. I get 550 km out of my 30L tank that fuels the 1301cc engine in my KTM 1290. So an engine literally double the size of the DR650 gets virtually the same fuel efficiency courtesy of fuel injection. It’s an observation, not a criticism, as I also have a DRZ400 (bored and stroked to 470) with a 28L Safari tank and FCR39 pumper carburettor. I’m always amazed by the KTM’s legs. Great video.

Yeah definitely some advantages to the big CC bikes. I regularly ride with a KTM950SE and watching him take off and overtake is a buzz but he can drain a 30l tank in 150klm and shred a rear tyre in under 1000klm. As much fun as that would be, it's the exact reason I didn't buy one 👍

Thanks Stu. Great vid. Talk to me about the steering dampener on the DR650. Really necessary, or just an improvement? And how do you think that might be different for a DRZ400? Cheers!

Yeah definitely worth it! Riding long dirt roads you get a bit distracted, start looking around, then you hit a rut or bump and with the dampner it washes off all that jitter. I wind it up on deeper sand when going fast. It just holds the front end straight. It's like cheating. 👍

Love the headlight setup - can I ask where sources from?

for travel it is a very good choice. unity with nature, peace of mind and organic, deep thought. You don't have to use drugs to receive revelation. but any friends violate the harmony of a person with nature, his concentration lies in complete solitude, for example, it is highly undesirable to do science on the Internet, since everything distracts you.

Good stuff, Stu. Whats the brand of that dual headlight? looks great on the bike.

At first it was terrible due to the discomfort of the factory seat. As soon as I upgraded to the Procycle seat, life was good. Its a stable bike on the highways but its more geared for lower speed work. Top speed is about 140kph wringing its neck but 110kph cruising is no issue.

Great video Stu. Is your suspension stock?

To be honest the top speed with the gearing I have is around 140kph. I rarely do much over 110 kph and these motors like to rev. They are clunky down real low in the RPM which is great in some circumstances but not all. I still get 5.4 litres per 100klm or about 600klm from the 33 litres the tank holds. Some people run higher gearing but the 15/44 is a great balance of pickup, top end and fuel economy. 👍
