Love your honesty Andy, "I'm an off road novice". I choose to ride my Tenere1200 to town from my farm in rural NSW, Australia and I've got 40 kms of gravel roads to do it on. Like you I'm no expert but having the right tyres makes a massive difference combined with correct pressures. When I bought the Tenere1200 I did so because I couldn't afford a GS and my goal was touring here in Australia, nearly all on bitumen. But after forcing myself to take the bike to town to collect mail etc I'm now entirely comfortable doing so and I'm 68 years old. Bottom line, be sensible and practice. Here in Australia we've 10x's as much gravel as bitumen and touring opportunities increase by as much. Keep up the great work.

Put some Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires on it. Put them on my KTM 390 Adventure and on my DR 650, best 50/50 I have ever had. I also up graded to the better KTM skid plate and hand guards, And put the GIVI Trekker 33/46 liter hard bags on, for comfort and features the KTM but for off road and torque the DR650. Bough great bikes and 2 in the stable always better than one. The DR 650 have to put a 20 liter tank to get some good range. That is one thing I would like to change on the KTM is go to at least a 18 liter gas tank, as with the 14.5 I can only get around 400 Km per tank on gas while on the DR650 with the 20 liter tank around 500 Km per tank of gas. KTM calling it a Adventure bike but limiting on range, with the small gas tank. I want to do Newfoundland and Labrador and need more than 400 km per tank, or carry extra gas which I do not like to have to do., I even wish I would of went with the 25 liter on my DR 650 but had trouble finding one at the time, and wanted to ride,

I wouldn't generally talk about one channel's content on another one. But I am compelled here to mention about one "Dream Chaser" guy on 390 Adventure in India. In one of his recently concluded Ladakh/Leh series on the bike, he has dealt with the most treacherous trails of the highest valleys of the world. Rubbles, sand, steepest of all trails, boulders at times, water crossings. Highly recommended to see what this light weight category motorcycle can do, though no comparison with the heavy weight champions, but in limited budget you can do what can be done. And a lot can be done.

Gday mate im about to replace the tyres on my 500x ive chosen to go with the shinko 705 its an 80/20 type tyre and from reviews from other riders they get good millage and the tyre is good on road even in the wet and good for back roads and fire trails. I did some checking and i rekon you could almost get a ncx 750 honda for around the same price as one of these here in aus , but like everything it is up to the rider and what he is looking for unfortunately neither the 500x or the 750nc have exceptional hp its pretty sad really , getting back to a previous video you did and you asked what was wrong with the hondas setup on the grips ,if you have a look at a f,x,r 500 you will see the horn is above the indicator switch so when you want to give some fool a blast you end up pressing on the indicator and not the horn well at least i do ,im pretty sure most other biles have the horn below the indicators i think honda stuffed up .

(Darling, you’re a wonderful male model) You are right about horse riders, they are a miserable lot and downright cranky when on public roads. The worse thing is that many are too highly strung to be safe amongst traffic, their horses are even worse. When their horses lose the plot because they see the wrong sort of crisp packet or plastic bottle it’s your fault it crashes into you because you shouldn’t have been there (on their road) - off the clock entitlement. Then there’s the mess they leave behind. Maybe if drones have to be registered and marked for safety the same should be done for horses if they are taken on public roads.

Dedicated dirt riders wouldn’t dream of running those tyres, I’d rate them as 90 road/10 dirt. It’s great if this sort of modified road bike attracts riders into genuine dirt riding but there is no way that cast alloy wheels have a place on trails. You could have easily dented a rim on that lane and then you are stuck unless you carry spare tubes. And let’s face it, nearly every ride can be called an adventure. When I see the word Adventure associated with a bike like this, it is purely advertising spin unless you look at the 790R.

Horse riders aren't happy to see bikes around. The Range Rovers they use to get to the horses are much less nature impacting... Ahahahw!

And they're bound to look even stupider as emissions regulations tighten. I hope (an affordable) battery with higher power density is developed soon!

It's a multi-part review - there are two other videos on this bike so far.

@oh well - I had the bike for over 2 weeks and have made several videos on it as Rikky noted - including a review - this was just intended to see what it was like on an easy off-road section....
