The "excited moto-vlogger" text explosions were a great touch!

At least the seat will keep you warm when you're cold

That’s something that I would want lol, I’m always cold even when it’s hot out

Head shake was a fairly common problem with the 2015-16 Super Adventures. Most people were able to fix it through some combination of adjusting the steering bearing, truing/balancing the wheel, and tire selection. With such a short rake, the SA is very sensitive to anything else unsettling the front-end stability. Also, a lot of the early SA's shipped with poor quality control on the bearing and wheel so one person might have a rock-solid bike, and another gets tank slappers.

Also just a characteristic of a 21inch front wheel I think. Ridden a few dual sports, none of them top end bikes like the 1290 but all had a bit of head shake on freeway at times, nothing major. I’d be surprised if 1290 ever got a tank slapper on the highway.

Good stuff F9. Humor is on point as always and an "I don't know" conclusion says it very well.

Lived in Mtl for 25 years and i don't know why, i get excited whenever you guys film in places that i'm familiar with

Thanks for the fun... and the candid reviews! Wouldn't think it had crap brakes either... GREAT INFO!

Turning around on a narrow steep single track is always exciting. Nice video! My 14 S still runs great...

If you adjust the front brake lever out it completely changes the feel and you realize that the brakes are excellent. For some reason KTM sets the brake lever in too close and it tricks you into thinking they are weak since it is almost to the grip when it kicks in hard. Just turn the set wheel a couple to move it out and it is much better.

You should make a 90-degree summer weather gear video, I have not seemed to have found one and you guys are the highest quality channel so do your thang. Thanks!

This is the only critique of this bike I have found on the internet, which is shocking and surprising. Yes there's plenty in Peru and quite a few off road but none talk about like you, so thank you. This video has made me want to go and buy one.

Excellent MotoVlog. Well done. Very entertaining and a lot of interesting opinions, even for those of us who saw your nonetheless excellent "traditionnal" review video of the bike on FortNine's very channel.

this is a very nice vlogging style!!! loved it

I get the feeling that Ryan F9 is a Wes Anderson fan. I originally found this channel because of this video, as I looking to buy a ktm 1290. Great job, and this time watching I noticed the front wheel comment. Now, I need to find how bad the seat heat issue is.

You are amazing reviewer... hope one day you will be top of all reviewer... keep it up...

Will you also review the 1090 Adventure R? I'm waiting for you review before eventually buy one. Terrific job, I love your channel! Love from Italy!

Love the videos. You have a dream job. Keep up the good work.

hey man, I love the way you do your videos, thanks, and I would like to see some naked bikes reviews and of course more adventure bikes.

Can’t leave out a visit to Timmy’s in Montreal, Canada ..... 04:35 time stamp. That was a funny surprise. Thanks for a very informative review. Cheers

Brisk, witty and efficient in content. Well done!

I own a 2017 1290 and the front brake is fantastic

Thanks for another great video. Can you do a personal one? Meaning who are you, what do you do and how did you get here (history). Cheers stay safe...

I had the 1190 for 2 years in our rental fleet, awesome bike, but during the summer here in California, we have a lot complains about the heat in the rear cylinder head (yes the seat have the heat shield). Short riders will suffer, tall riders can move the seat to the high position and they will suffer less. Also, I guess Wings? Make a heat/air channel deflector which will help the air move around. In general in my opinion, maintenance and parts are more expensive then the BMW. Love the bike, but... Moving to Honda AT.

very nice Video :) sub since 1 year still love youre Videos sry for my Bad english :/ greeting from Germany

love the big LED dash

STRANGH editting!! like the style!

Hey Mr. Video Editor, if you're reading this, good job, buddy. Enjoyed your work tremendously. I mean, some of it gave me a migraine, but I chuckled more than massaging my head so its all good. =)

From a hot sunny South Africa ‘ I doff my cap for your absolute enthusiasm no matter the freezing conditions in Canada. Amazing stuff man. I’ve got a 2018 V Strom 1000 XT , lovely bike , should. I switch ? Your honest reviews are spot on. I had the AFRICA Twin. Got rid of it as it was a dog on the pavement. Spot on observation. Had I viewed your vlog on it I wouldn’t have bought it. Cheers and come to SA to ride one day ✌️

Greetings! Great channel! Keep those videos coming........based on your experience since you've tested and the africa twin which one would you choose? Reliability is first on my list.......

The Heidenau K60 Scouts are great tyres. I had a set on the Beemer GS (for winter) and loved them. TKC 70 have a road feel with aggressive looking tread but the wear strangely. TKC 80 seems too off road biassed for my taste but hey it’s supposed to be dual purpose. :)

Hey Ryan great video, i'm from Montreal too, just wondering what you thought of the roads in our big city?

The more I see these and read about them, the more I totally want one. So the 1290 is not much heavier than the 1190 but has more torque and basically the same specs everywhere else?

Great video again!!! You are referring to the 1200 GS multiple times - have you done a review of this bike already? Otherwise what about testing the new GS Rallye? Cheers

Ah Stomp Grip ...A product that I know I needed but didn't know existed, thanks homie

These bikes are weapons! I love mine, destroys the competition.

Have you done or can you do a bmw 1250 GS adventure review type video.?? Thanks and love ya work. :)

40 W heading towards Decarie! Man I miss my hometown.

When are you doing a comparison with the 1090R?

Hey ! Can you do a set up of your trail gear ? like your jacket accessories, helmet, all this ? And also, i have a TDR 125, and i want to make it more look like a Trail, what can i do ? thanks, i love your videos :)

I know you have riden the BMW GS but what about a tiger XC or XCA

I own the 2018 S model. No the bike is not perfect and it does have some electrical glitches screen does flicker and the My ride is a novelty. The motor is like nothing else it handles like a true sports bike. The WP forks are outstanding and it comfort is an all day rider with an aftermarket seat that stock one is a plank. I can only say that this bike is a gem maybe the best all all a rounder I have ever owned. The electronics package is maybe the best offered on a street bike. I`m to short for the R but I can only imagine the insanity of this bike on loose ground...

ever thought about doing a review of the best Neckbraces? i always ride with one but i don't know a lot about them :(

Please test the Ducati MSE. it also has 160 bhp and I think you will be surprised. I own one and love it!

4 Pistons. LOL. Whoever came up with that needs a raise. Thumbs up for an honest review.

I have the S version way better for road, front brake i adjusted a bit the lever and improved a lot.. Some stuff you said about paviment issues... Kinda normal it's focused for off-road and some of that stuff makes it not so good at paviment... Try S version if u want great paviment performance

It’s an off-road bike it’s supposed to have soft bite for a front brake..

that looks like a hella fun bike

Ryan have you tested the triumph tiger 800 xcx with 21 inch wheel? It also has WP suspension which KTM uses and is lighter! If you put a booster plug on the tiger it has all the smooth roll on power you need IMHO?

Steering jiggle happens on all bikes between 20 and 60 mph. Cruisers wiggle at the slow end sports at the top end. Mid range stuff around 40mph. Tight steering bearings aggravate the issue.

did you ever just switch off the TC!? Breaks are superbe. Should have tried the 990 ADV.

Excellent video, help me a lot :)

Good show, but.... When is someone going to do a real review of the 2 big guns, the Ducati Multi Enduro and this KTM 1290 SA R? I think MCN said they were working on it but people want to know whats the best bike. Don't think you'll see Chris Birch on the Ducati anytime soon.. Thanks !

How did you disable the hill hold control? Can you switch it off in the controls or did you pull the fuse?

Maybe I’ll be able to afford one in another 6 years . Hopefully they’ll hold together that long! 🤞

Yes. Good job Steve. The editing doesn't make me want to kill myself, but is still funny. This is a good amount of editing.

Hey @fortnine Where are those 3 spots on island? I'm fairly sure that's along the Deux-Montagnes train before Bois-Franc, but where are the others?! Thanks!

How would an update of this video with latest model KTM differ or be worthwhile or even necessary??? Is this site still functioning or dormant??? Super sad if the latter !! Awesome videos ☺️😀

adjustable clutch levers. about $30 heat shield material about $15 dollars two fixes, bleed and re-oil your front and back brakes = better front brakes.

When was this video taken ? You have snow in June ? PS Great video :)

Can you do a ride review of the duke 690?

Still trying to decide between KTM Super Adventure 1290 and an Africe Twin

Please, review ktm 790 adventure r

Any chance on a 690 enduro r review in the near future?

good points

A question to everyone here: Does anyone of you know whether there are sound differences between the Leovince SBK GP Style and the Leovince Lv One, or whether there really are any sound differences? 🤔 (Optionally referred to the Yamaha yzf r125 re06)

hi ryan, can you tell me where is that entrance of your dirt road video section?

I think the more apt comparison is to the S1000XR not the GS/GSA. That was my take anyway.

Hey Ryan ! Where do you ride off road near Montreal ? :)

So...Do you know if KYM is still making/marketing the Super Adventure T model? I haven't seen it on their website this season, and was wondering what happened to the bike "I" want from KYM!

You gonna do a review on the 790 adventure?

what does detuned mean and how do you detune an engine? do you change the timing or what?

Was ist, wenn ich mir die Maschine kaufe und auf einer längeren Tour feststelle, dass mein Hintern zu warm wird? Aufgrund der Hitze vom Motor?

I’ve had one of these for four years. No problem whatsoever with the front brake. The adjustments on that bike must’ve been out, or grease on the disc or something. I have found this bike to be an incredible all-rounder. Ridiculously powerful but very well-behaved. Extremely narrow so perfect in town. But also a great motorway cruiser. Haven’t taken off road (would absolutely love to) but I imagine it would be incredible there as well from what I’ve seen on videos and considering KTM heritage.

front brakes on the 1290 SAR are incredible...i have no problem shredding on mine!

best bike of 2017 hope the qualty is the same as japanes motorcycles

the brakes need to be re-bled mate if the engagement point is floating and she isnt grabing it isnt bled properly

can u review Universal Motorcycle Lever Lock?

ADV bikes are great...unless you have to turn around or lay it over or have an off camber hill or hit a slippery root or have a rutted trail or need to go up a steep slippery hill climb...basically any off road activity.

Your friend has the coolest name

Has he done triumph tiger?

Do multistrada next please

The hot seat may aid somewhat against a nasty condition some riders get when going long distance in the wet, hem, hem!

Just picked up a 2020; at 6'6", I feel you! Slightly different needs for me - ordered the Touratech risers, will cop the seat concepts tall seat, and that should just about do it. I'd like to leave the peg height alone, if possible.

Great Vid. However, and this is most of the Big ADV Bike reviews are missing, and falling short, this Bike suppose to take you on a Long Distance multi-Day in the saddle in different kind of terrain and weather, reviewing them like motocross or street (Weekend or commuter) miss the purpose, mean giving the indication on how those Big Puppies behave when fully and properly loaded ready for the Cross Country /Continents Adventure

Worth upgrading from and 1190r?

790 Adv., S vs R, please!

can relate to roasting ass, not ass but legs, when the 790 electro kicks in your leggs will look like fried chiken, also, you mentioned the 1200gs killer, in my town(150.000 people), since 2013 they sold 90 ktm adventure bikes, so i think people love it haha

Can u plz plz reveiw the 1090

Which tires you use ?

Without saying "who cares it's an adventure bike," can anyone tell me the 0-60 time on this bike? Considering the 1190 had the acclaimed 0-60 and even ktm touted those numbers and with the new models you only hear 'more tamed' 'linear' I'm guessing it's slower maybe even in the 3 seconds. Does anyone know?

Do you know if the 1290 super adventure T comes with the new digital display?
