Hey yammie, I’m new to the channel and love your stuff

Ok I've watched six of your videos now and liked them all. Time to subscribe

Jeez, I was just thinking about getting it and I was wondering if you had a video on it. I guess I don't have to wait anymore hehehe

Nice video I appreciate the history lesson, some I knew but did learn a few things. I have watched videos out of Australia about the virtues of the 660 Tenere. Riders of adventure bikes have a great choice depending on where your adventure lies. These days my adventures are on tarmac so I have a V-Strom 650 and love it for long road trips. My son has a 1090 Adventure R where 70% of his riding is off-pavement. In fact he riding the South California BDR as I type this reply. It is the bike he rides on long road trips with me. If he wants to ride single tracks then he uses one of his 2 KTM dirt bikes.

honest reviews man

WHATS THIS GIVE US THE MV AGUSTA CONTENT. ILL NEVER GET ENOUGH OF IT.

Had a 600DR for 2 years (98ish) with kickstart, after a while you can start it like a breeze and it never fails to do so even without a battery.......the 600XT was the same......with some electrical problems aka shorts and open circuits. None the less these old bikes were tons of fun, easy on maintenance, easy on the wallet, easy to ride and cheap to insure being a noob rider.

Please do an episode on the Kawasaki KLR 650. Specifically focussing on the Generation one. Such an absolutely legendary Bike for the price. I’ve been camping here in the mountains for about three weeks on the back of mine.

Lots of ground clearance, low end grunt and different tires. Plenty of scrapes and wounds on it but it's there to serve me and not the other way around.

Just tested one at the dealership this weekend. It's a forgiving bike with a bit of height that gives a good overview of traffic without being heavy/big. It's a good compromise between the ability to commute in traffic and some off road capability.

You make a good argument for the dual sport. For me, I live in the city, have a car as my daily, and no trailer. So I need that bike that’ll get me out of the city for a good hour before I can get my tires sandy. I’m leaning more towards the Tenere. This is coming from someone that’s had the TW200, FZ07,and a Goldwing. As soon as I sold the dual sport I missed riding on the road, seeing a fun trail and going exploring.

I want to go up to a tenere and get into the ADV scene but still be able to hit some slightly technical trails…you think this is a possibility at slightly above novice levels?

now that the svartpilen is on sale, i'm quite tempted. the t7 sounds awesome, but it's more than i wanna spend on an occasionally-fucking-around-offroad bike. and i'd want enough power to comfortably get to trails on the freeway, so i doubt a dirt bike/dual sport is where it's at for that purpose either.

Vsucc Yeah I was looking at the 300 XC-W TPI for a street legal SuperMoto setup one day, but yeah, nothing like a two-cylinder anywhere to be found because 2 strokes are largely extinct. I just think you’d find the perfect power to weight ratio paired with a electronics control package that’ll keep your wheels spinning the right amount on dirt and upright on wet road selectable on demand if so desired as a package. I always love having budget options on models. Not to mention the lack of oil filter/valve maintenance with a larger ADV sized gas tank and luggage options. It’s a dream, unless a whole bunch of free time and money come my way then I’d modify a KTM frame myself and engineer something to work.

DS tend to be singles that are smaller (250-650cc) and more capable on dirt- they look like dirtbikes with lights. ADV tend to be larger twins (700-1200cc), more expensive, with rider modes, electronics and more powerful for pavement, with some use for dirt roads and a bit of off-roading. The Tenere is interesting because it seems to split the difference nicely and thats what ADV is all about.

God here (Joshua Alexander Opalewski) Thanks Yam!

The photo at 4:04. This is what ALL DUAL SPORT bikes should be. They should make the DR650, XR650L, XL650, DRZ-400, KLR-650, into low tech, low cost, parallel twins. They don't need fancy gizmos, or fancy suspension. They just need a high revving, counterbalanced, 70 HP parallel twin, with an overdrive 6th gear. Then you have a legitimate cross country touring machine, for cheap. The single cylinder bikes don't like to be revved super high, and they also don't like to be revved super low either, they only do good at medium RPM's. A parallel twin can be lugged at extremely low RPM's, and can also run at extremely high RPM's, without complaining. And then, you also get 75% more horsepower. With modern engine technology, single cylinder bikes aren't necessary for weight or size. Nobody wants 38 horsepower and a single that feels like it's going to throw a rod at 75mph. A KLR single is heavier than a ZX-6R with a 4 cylinder.

Yamaha ussd the same engine from the xt 660 5 valve in the raptor 660
