Nice commercial video with only 6 minutes riding…..😅😅😅

Thank you Ben for that awesome video. Great to see what happened in June. I know how busy you are. I’m still gonna look into the flying eyes prescription glasses probably do it this winter. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you.

Hi there a follower from over the pond Uk 🇬🇧. You live in a great place for riding Adventure bikes.. Keep it up Dork

Thats healthy . I will check out flying eyes 'didn't know they did prescriptions .""RIDE ON""

I've got a Baofeng UV5R in my tank bag connected to an old cell phone to run APRS for tracking and use an adapter to connect a UT-72" antenna. It does better than the stock antenna or an upgraded whip, but one of the big benefits of getting your GMRS license and a GMRS-capable (no test required) radio is being able to use regional repeaters that greatly expand your range. You might end up having to share them with others, but if you program them into your radio, they're an option to reach people beyond line of sight.

tl;dr, it's a baby africa twin.

You should come to the uk for ABR festival you’d love it we might not have the trails you guys have but as festivals go you won’t find better👍🏼

klim is for people who favor the trans movement--overpriced over rated

0:13 It is gonna be LIT!!!

All land in Texas is either government or privately owned. Definitely cuts down the number of places to do off highway riding.

TBH, I didn't enjoy anything about Texas other than seeing it my rearview mirror.

Your friend drove it very nicely

hahahaha

Compared to what you've done in Oregon, Washington, California, and Utah, that must have been extremely underwhelming. And I say that as a local from right down the road, closer to San Antonio. There used to be a lot of nice country dirt roads to have a bit of an adventure in the Texas hill country, but the march of progress has seen most of them get paved. The majority of good dirt riding is on private property and that usually means single track for dirt bikes, not ADV bikes. That being said, I am hoping to do that Big Bend BDR-X soon.

Looks like you got to ride the perfect bike for that event/terrain!

So now we know who broke Jakes 690.. hmm...

So many GS’s on their sides… 😅

Really like your channel!

Reveille Peak Ranch has some great mountain biking as well.

Your channel is a source of inspiration and wisdom. Thank you for your dedicated creativity and kindness!🌶🌠🎼

Very professional and pleasant presentation. Tons of information.

Thanks Ben for another honest review. Did you think about using the Klim marrikesh Jacket for this ride? How would It have performed do you think?

Awesome video! You are very good at reviewing in a professional manner! Very well produced! Been waiting for this bike to hit local dealer and after watching this I just scheduled a dealer visit! Hoping to get myself one for Xmas! Lol

Lookin at getting one of these n I think only weighing 158 it should Be a blast. I probably won't need a seat or bottom out the suspension which is good cause ima jump it lol

The only problem is heavy and top heavy. Not exactly a great situation.

It's a 100 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark , and we're wearing sun glasses. Hit it. The Blues brothers.

Hit it.

That's a challenging hill without having to go around a jeep!!!

I thought the title was a joke! Joke's on me!

I just don't get why they did so many goofy things to this bike like not giving it tubeless tires and not giving it cruise control even though you can literally get an aftermarket plug and play cruise control for like 60 bucks. Also don't get me started on the goofy EPA tuning that ruins this bike that you have to flash in order to fix

My most valuable tip - never ride alone off road. My second most valuable tip - if you can't lift it, don't ride it. I'm not sure why 'adventure bikes' are such a fashion accessory these days, in the UK most riders are 40 or over, including me. I do some gentle green laning [we have unpaved roads in the UK of varying difficulties] on a 411 Himalayan and with my local dealer we lead riders around some easy off-road trails. I had a 30-year break from off-roading when the bike of choice weighed in at a lot less than the 269 kg weight of the 'oh so good' BMW...actually it weighed just over 100 kg! This made it fairly easy to wriggle out from under when I had an 'off' nad it landed on my leg...see my most valuable tip! What seems to be called 'dual sport' on US channels we call trail bikes in the UK. Bikes mainly for off-road that can also be used on-road. Off-road bikes need to be robust, light and sturdy. Look for something more suited to this than a massive 'adventure' bike.

Beta 350RR-S

Oh I so envy you 😁 Have fun and stay safe man!

They don't build em like they used to grumble grumble Thailand subpar grumble grumble cast aluminum grumble grumble

I'm very interested in this bike, perhaps busting a move next year. We'll see how ktm's financial woes go. I need a bike like this for long distance touring and adventuring. If I want a good looking bike I have a triumph Bonneville. I could look at that bike all day. It's a work of art.

If you're overweight and unfit you won't enjoy it, otherwise it's an amazing machine.

Tell me it’s a commercial, and I’ll consider a product. Promote a product and tell me it’s unbiased, and I’ll avoid it like the plague.

Wow, I was already thinking a dual sport would be smart to start out on. But this video did me a few new learns and now I know for certain dual sport is the move. $15 insurance!!! That blew my mind. Thanks Ben!

Back in high school I had a 1977 Yamaha xt500. I had so much fun on that bike. It sucked kicking it over.

Language is a funny thing... When we, in Norway, talks about storm, it mens a specific force of wind... In the US it just means it came a bit of snow 😅😂

👍

Will a adventure bike made for the road ride well off road or no?
