I have a 2021 890 Adv R and I'm currently at the part where you talk about the fuel gauge. Assuming the 2023 is the same your numbers are in line with my experience. 400km (250 miles) is about as far as I've gone while riding mildly. If I'm a full highway squid, I can burn a tank in about 320km (200 miles). I agree the fuel gauge isn't that accurate and it's just weird that it only measures the bottom half of the tank.

@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV

I don't mind it just measuring the bottom half of the tank. It just goes a little whacky at times. I certainly wouldn't depend on it if fuel stops were crucial.

I picked up my 2023 890 AR a month ago and it is a ripper. Not a unicorn, more like a Goldilocks bike. My 3rd KTM now and you are right, the refinement is finally getting up there with the best of them. Can't say I love the looks but it's the best fast trail adventure bike out there. A really decent highway and twisties bike too.

I've been dual sporting for close to a decade and I've still been learning so much from your crew of mates. You Aussie riders are tough and great to be around. Anyway, I'm glad to hear the 23 is a little softer suspended in the little chop. That was one of my only concerns. That said I still have a DR650 built to my liking and she's not going anywhere. Keep up the good work! From Virginia, USA.

In that specific niche of dirt oriented mid sized twin, it is exceptional and should be recognised as such. I mean have a look at the slow motion of that suspension working. If bikes are good, I don't have any hesitation in saying they are good. Remember I own a T700 and if I dropped my bike from that height with standard suspension the result would have been ugly. I love my T700 but there's been significant work done and a lot of money spent to get my suspension close to matching the Kato. If you listen carefully, there are short comings mentioned, but not many.

If you take the time to set the suspension to the conditions, matched with Motoz tyres of your liking. The 890r must be ridden in rally mode matched with whatever other setting you are comfortable with to get the most out of the bike. Love this bike.

You'll notice colour of different video assets noticeably differs for pixel peepers. Normally I process every asset into pro res, but didn't have time, as I've been crook. Now remember we do the suspension on the 501 this Thursday and then she's done! Hopefully we test the Norden Expeditions (we get two of them) last week of May, first week of June, so pretty close. Really looking forward to that as I had been critical of a number of things on last years model.....rear suspension and screen in particular. Now knowing it has the same suspension as the 2023 890 we just tested makes me real happy. I hope the paper specs turn into reality. It may have a garage filled with Huskies :)

For straight dirt the 890 is better than the Norden
