Man... big bike to be throwing around in the woods that tight. But I'm happy that you did and excelled at it.

Hey , I stumbled upon your channel and just wanted to say hi and thanks for helping me navigate on the Giant Loop ride. I’m the old lost rider on KTM 500 . 😅

👀👀👀

Really appreciate this video thank you, the x300 is the most underrated mini Adventure bike with a full acro exhaust system and efi comander extra tooth on the sprocket ⚙️ I feel is much better than bigger bikes, I can push it 1 km and pick it up ( I practice a lot at the ADV riding school)

So ready for round two! Def bringing Brittany out again, for mounting purposes...

The sound bites in this video are priceless! Compression fractures, taint blasted, later sucker!, it’s Britney bitch! There were a lot of TWSS jokes too 😂 so glad you all had such a blast & looking forward to joining next month.

This was seriously one of the most fun weekends that I've had in a LONG time. So glad that you all were able to come out and enjoy some camping and riding. Times like this are what the Adv community is all about for me and I feel so honored to count you all as my friends. Can't wait for the next one! Fields and Wheels 2024!

After watching the coleman 'thing' I had to have 2 ibuprofen :) All the best!

Great vid, love to see what these are capable of! For the heat issue, wouldn't shutting the engine off stop the coolant from pumping through the radiator too? I'd think letting it idle would be better.

I m waiting to buy a 390 as soon as possible. Till then imma binge watch this whole channel

What a steady camera at the front.

Great vid!!👍👍 im loving this bike, it may be the perfect companion for my 2024 klx 300.

5'9 and 200 bills. poor bike

For us smaller riders it’s perfect and needs to exist, I wish they would make a 450s

I love my KLX230. I’ve never ridden the 300, even though that’s what I originally wanted but it wasn’t available at the time. After about a year and 1700 miles of mostly dirt and gravel I have no envy of the 300’s or any strong desire to try one. Regarding tires, most of Kenda’s dirt bike tires are street legal (front only) so I went with Trakmaster rear and Washougal front. Works awesome. I did lower the gearing a bit to compensate for the more aggressive slightly larger tires.

Such a cool build thanks for taking the time to share ^_^

Dude stop for a minute you are riding in the most beautiful country in the world who gives a shit what you are riding?

So what happened to your black dog skid plate. I put one on my 390ADV and love it.

Man, i got this as my 1st ever motorcycle and it has been treating me so well. still only a month in

Great video! Thank you! I am thinking about getting this bike as my first bike

People get very confused regarding Adventure riding in general, and to be honest, spending a ton of money on a big BMW 1300 GS is prob not a good move if you have not got the skills, and you haven't been ring in say 15 years. The other thing is simple cost effective entry, ease of use, ease to fix and run and replace parts, upgrade or whatever. Some people might just be happy to learn on this first and never get anything bigger than the CRF300 Rally.

Nice the see the 300X handle its business.

I purchased mine 10 months ago. It fits my needs perfectly. Thank s for your work !! 😊

heyy wondering what pre-loads adjustments do you use for shocks and fork

What tires and tire pressures were you running?

This is similar to the video I recently made, but I have yet to edit and upload it.

23:16 'That was so stupid' should have been the name of my channel. At least the bike isn't super heavy.

DCT is for disabled ones! Show us MT!

That looked fun. Cheers for the video. Bike sounds great. Does the exhaust mods make it obnoxiously loud or just give it sone character? Regards Paul

I just bought one as my first bike. I'm picking it up on June 18th, with a 3.5hr trip home from the dealer... I'm so excited. I'll be doing mostly highway riding, but have tons of gravel logging roads to explore.

Great Video! I'm in my 5th year of my Versys X300 and still love it. I also have a dirt bike (Husaberg FE390) and and a travel bike (Suzuki Vstrom 650XT (2017, Gen 3), but still like the X300 for a commuter and mild off road. I live 5 miles from pavement, so I ride gravel roads every time I ride. With a few farkles to fit my 6'3" frame and Mitas E07+ tires, the X300 is about as good as it gets, for a 300. Once you learn to ignore the low gearing and high revs, it becomes a 65 mpg + commuter as easy to ride as anything out there. Kawasaki did their homework on this one - and it's a genuinely viable mini-Adventure bike, with the exception of deep sand in Moab (on a trail I had no business being on) the X300 is excellent! (But my buddy on a KTM 350 went down in sand there also!) Several trips on Jeep trails went well - just pay attention to speed and suspension limitations. One out of state trip went perfectly, even over some Jeep type mountain passes in SW Colorado and SE Utah. I agree with you on bar risers. I added 2 inch Rox Pivoting risers (I stand a lot) and also T-Rex skid plate and crash bars. I also added wide, metal foot pegs for better balance when standing. GREAT bike for commuter, mild off road, and well-planned trips with luggage. Thanks for. great review.

Thank you! makes me smile for my choice. 1st ADV bike I found a versys 300 2017 with 960 miles on it. Watched ton of reviews. This just more confirmed, so no buyers remorse an its been fun to ride so far, although been limited.. getting tags, insurace blah blah as I just got it last week. Tires ya, plug an go.... but believe mine are tubes.. Anyone use fix a flat just to get to next area.. Im not changing out in boondocks.. to old for that shit less abso f king loootely have to.. I put tannerus liners in my Mtn Bike an love them... Thanks for great Rivew!

Another excellent video. Great to hear from you again! Just be true to yourself and follow your heart, the rest will follow... me included 😉.

❤

You really made me hungry for that adventure duke!

That was great , what an awesome place to get to ride the 390 around. I can relate to what you were saying about how making youtube videos helped you through a bad time, I was very similar , and my archery videos played a major part in getting me through things. We seem to all get to a point where the time involved outweighs the effort in recording, editing etc. and with such specific content there is never going to be much income. I record all my rides, but can never be bothered editing and uploading, I watch through them again months later then delete :) I'm just glad you are going to continue making videos, as and when you feel like it , or when you are up to some shenanigans. All the very best, and thank you for the vicarious riding fun and thrills.

Love the videos, got a 390 Adventure myself that I'm riding with my brother while working on my license. can't wait to take it around the Fjords and mountains in my country! :D

Absolutely the best and balanced review that I have seen on this bike! I have been riding mine for about 8 months now with a little over 2500 miles on it, and I definitely have enjoyed every moment of it! As a commuter, it fills the bill perfectly for just running across town. I do take a short jaunt on the interstate, but at 65mph in the right hand lane, I do just fine. As a weekend tour bike, it is very fun and nimble, however I need to take a butt break about once per hour also. This was my first bike of any kind and I have to say I definitely got the moto bug, but even if I get a larger motorcycle, I still want to keep my ADV150 in the garage!

Impressive! Do you use In-Reach or some other satellite communicator?

What do you use to hold up your gps ? @freetimeadventures

i think with a little bit more offroad focused tire, these would do much better. it wouldn't have to be extreme, just something like a Continental TKC 70 or a Dunlop Trailmax. You'd still have really good on road performance, but it'd be much safer off road.

Mate, awesome video!! I also have a 390 and I love it. Are you using a external mic? I love the sound.

Do you think this bike is a good option for long trip with luggage? Like 3k kilometers, without speeding on highway.

Seems like everyone who rides this bike loves it. I don't think I've heard a single bad review of it.

I really like your videos, I would like to buy me KTM 390 adventure, the problem? I am from Colombia and here KTM is very expensive.

love your videos man, but i hated you when you play the music instead of that screaming motor.

Awesome riding! I am on the fence of getting a CRF300L and building a BDR weapon; upgrade suspension, skids, racks, larger fuel tank…. Or 390 Adv and do tires and a skid. Wondering what your thoughts are, have you ever rode a 300L? The KTM seems better in every way except ground clearance, it’s only 1” more than my CT125! I have my fingers crossed they do a 390 R soon.

I love my 2020 X300. I commute in heavy hw traffic, sometimes lane splitting and sometimes country rides.

What tires are you running?
