Great stuff as always Adam. Thank you. The best choice I ever made in my long motorcycle life was my 08 990 on the mountain trails of Washington state. Now I have her in the Utah desert and I still single track her every chance I get....albeit a bit faster here in the desert. There is something special about that big twin and I will probably keep her until one of us stops ticking, but this gen of the 890 R will soon become my goto big backcountry machine. Your approach to big adv bikes highlights exactly what makes them so fun for riders like me, and it is great that you continue to share your passion with so many. Few of us will ever send our bikes like you do, but your videos help show the massive range of these bikes for those willing to spend the time and energy learning how to ride them. Thanks for all the great content you've contributed over the years to the adventure community.

[@giannhsatenza5254]

Adam , if it wasn't for people like youe almost non of us would ride on big bikes in off road adventures ! Keep it up , we love it !

[@zzxx33mh]

But remember, he is highly skilled✌️..far way we can achieve 😉,he is inspiring us ..👍

[@kingcrumpet]

YES!! Been waiting for this generation 890 for 12 months. To see you riding it and giving it a little review has made me more excited than I have been in a long time. Didn't expect this to pop up in my feed so soon! I will be buying this bike. Cheers Adam 🍻

[@ChrisAbeytaTV]

Got to say I love your channel! Lost in Albania was great. 30 years ago I spent an entire summer in Albania and from what I saw in your videos it doesn't seem like it's changed much at all

[@Shereefe]

As always, a world class mini review of a great bike and insane rider ! Cheers

[@lucioedgar9587]

Felicitaciones Adam por mostrarnos una excelente edicion y magnifica calidad en todos tus videos.. saludos desde Sonora, Mexico.. 👌

[@sethparker4624]

Love your content Adam! Keep it coming 🤙

[@SeasonalTherapy]

Good to see a ripper bloke just out doing what he loves 👌 so good to have a person you can relate too! Cheers buddy keep them comin 🤘🤘

[@danielleriche7688]

Anther great video by ARiemann. Been a journey watching your channel grow 👍🏼 Keep it coming

[@1_Analog_9]

Seriously considering getting one of these.. its always great to see u on a KTM !

[@Flip01]

Another great video Adam. KTM are lucky to have you showcase their bikes.👍🍻🇦🇺

[@sidkarnick]

As always..simple..to the point..honest and straight up! Thank you adam

[@sidkarnick]

is this an authentic message adam or spam ? .i trust my luck never to have won a raffle let alone a 890 .

[@Advcrazy]

“The proof is in the pounding” haha! Mad me laugh!🤣 Love your videos mate. Hope KTM keeps sending you out to film crazy adventures!

[@justride2ride854]

Stumbled across your channel today, watched The Warhorse, Lost in Albania and now this. Fantastic story telling and videography. Had a KTM 450 EXC years back, might have to really consider the 890 as my next hooligan mount when I'm not on the Harley.

[@michaelkumm1870]

Greetings from South Africa, love your videos, it was your adventure bike videos that tempted me to buy my 1090R back in 2018. Can’t agree more about suspension, my ass has been saved a few times thanks to these bikes amazing suspension!

[@Meifesto]

It for sure has improved over the years. Can't wait to see it more.

[@brettharman4614]

You’re right, the new look has hit the nail on the head. I love it!

[@faizalparinduri22]

Thanks for your review Adam! Stay safe and keep kickin' great video...

[@ridetillidieharleyyamaha4063]

And it doesn't seem that long ago that you were talking about setting up a yz450f for enduro and how capable of a bike they were , well im on my 6th or 7th yz450f and have placed my orfer for the 2023 and here i am once again many many years later listening to you and what you have to say about the ktm 890 adventure bike as this is going to be my next step in my riding life that im going to take as i could think of no better way to travel across the top end of this awesome country than on a adventure bike, i will ride till i die , stay safe 🇦🇺👍🏼

[@Denita6969]

Awesome video~ cant wait to add this bike to my KTM fleet~

[@Theairguitarguy]

Great footage as always! That thing looks like a beast

[@269sjb]

I was able to demo a 2022 890 earlier this year...I loved it, this model year looks even more capable, you hammered that track, Ill have to take a ride down to the dealer to see one in person when they arrive.

[@MEGAFAROM]

Me encantan tus videos y me gusta mucho la agresividad en la conduccion que demuestras en cada paseo en la moto.. saludos desde Argentina..

[@ownyourworld]

Adam so glad I found your channel. Thank you for making good videos , it was great seeing you and your friend in the tenere desert raid launch giving it some.

[@xu15000x7]

Adam, Love your chanel you speak the truth about bikes all brands and a fantastic rider same as me lover of all bike models

[@jasonlonon4198]

Killin' it on that thing, brother. It was built to ride like that...although most won't. Excellent job

[@ride4adventure]

Excellent as always and great to see the manufacturers not getting too precious about working with independent people who do stuff with more than just their brand. 👍

[@Braapncamp]

Cool to see You on the KTM ship again Adam! This will be great to follow, as always. The new beast looks great , time for upgrade?! 👀😁✊🏻✊🏻💪🔥 Cheers! 🍺

[@twowheelpilot]

What happened to the Yamaha thing?

[@Braapncamp]

@@twowheelpilot Not sure but this is more fun 💪🔥✊️✊️🙌😁

[@chetwinkles5051]

The absolute best motorcycle channel on YT. Balls out bro....let it eat!

[@edm163]

One of the best moto reviews I’ve seen. Educational, entertaining and high quality by a humble and relatable professional. I’ve said it for a long time… KTM embraces and knows it’s target market better than any other manufacturer and they partner with professionals like you to share their story, which is brilliant.

[@GrizzlyDaddams]

If they actually cared, they wouldn't "nickle & dime" their customers with software, and quality control would be better. The known and regular issues are absolutely and unequivocally, unacceptable, for the money you're asked to pay. They embrace the cash. Period.

[@edm163]

KTM knows that they appeal to the emotions & hearts of buyers, not their wallets & sensibilities. Everyone is free to choose boring & reliable or exciting & memorable.

[@bradsanders6954]

@@GrizzlyDaddams Bullshit. Your whining like every other online pilot. Tap that keyboard. Ive had zero problems with my 890R, none. Its a rocket. Go buy a T7 and try to make it go like an 890R.

[@Kevintherubiconjeep]

This is too cool. That video you did was one of the reasons I got my 1290 SAR in 2017.

[@philgoogle1535]

There is no way I'll ever ride my 2022 890R like you but its nice to know its capabilities. Another interesting video and review with useful information. Thanks for making and posting it Adam.

[@brendtoconnell6119]

I'm glad Adam when you said you had a hand in the design of the new 890. That's fantastic working with the R&D department of KTM. I use to design skyscrapers when I worked in Chicago many years ago. When the market crashed in late 2008 I decided I wasn't interested in a career in an office. I chose to teach myself to ride dirt bikes in Colorado. And I really never looked back.

[@carlosmurgelcddr.1418]

Great video Adam! Cheers from Brasil

[@TheJaimilton]

as usual......Legend.......keep them coming

[@dirkhuman760]

Your videos are just tops. Nice job Adam.

[@axelfiraxa]

I have to admit my envy when watching the kind of ease you display in handling these motorcycles

[@hagestad]

yep that's pretty deceptive - ppl in general are not going to be able to do that. this bike is about 50kg too heavy

[@miro_s]

Well done Adam on becoming a tester/testimonial for this great bike. It looks good, I’ve got the 2021, might decide to upgrade to this…

[@BlackdogADV]

Wow! They really improved the looks. I’m 73 and have been using my BMW 1200GS less and favoring my Husqvarna 701 more because of the light weight. Looks like the 890 would fill my needs.

[@edxr250r]

I have the same bikes as you, had my 1200GS for nearly 12 years and I think the revised 890 Adventure (non R for me) would be a perfect replacement for the GS as I know the seat height is lower😉👍👍

[@rosscomerford4274]

Adam, Great to see an Aussie legend doing the promo vids for KTM, in Austria. Look forward to seeing the full video when released by KTM, not to mention seeing the bike in Aussie showrooms. Keep the great videos coming mate

[@bernardhossmoto]

Finally Slip 0 in Rally Mode. Thank you! (I am riding an early 2019 790 Adv R, also on Mitas E07+ and custom engine mapping)

[@fun2rideadventure]

Now...KTM 890 Adv R is back on my list...thanks for the new design 👍🏻

[@outdoors-university]

You are a good man my brother! God bless you and your family. I send you Love ,Health and positive energy. Stay safe and keep having fun!

[@swi2009ca]

Your videos are more efficient than a visit to the therapist. THANK YOU!!! I am totally relaxed now and I can go to bed. Cheers from Vancouver Canada

[@MotologyFilms]

haha, sleep well and thanks for the support.

[@CurtisBrandt]

Adam, you got away with it because of prodigious riding skills, brother. Full stop. Lovely!

[@ajmotovlogs7510]

Wow!! Waiting to see you ride it more 😍👌🏽 good stuff! Love from india 🇮🇳

[@JakeHollibone]

Another great adventure bike video keep them coming mate

[@davca117]

What a blast 🤩 as every time you put new video in 💪

[@aussiehardwood6196]

Wow! Its BIG, it's nice... I wonder if it'll end up under Toby Price. Don't EVER sell yourself short as a test rider, your ability is there complimented with broad knowledge and know how as to describe in detail the performance & personality of a bike.

[@gitesh4646]

💯🙏

[@BryantForest]

Awesome review, amazing footage 👍

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Convincing statements, great footage and perfect riding. It's highly entertaining to follow your channel. And I do pick up quiet a few things. Off to Romania next week. Thanks a lot, Günter/Nürnberg

[@tigerking2179]

Awesome. Hope I can ride mine like that one day!

[@adaptableadventurerider]

Hi Adam really enjoyed the video :) dad an I are looking at Ktms again, you are 110% right I always think even with guitars an motorcycles you don't wanna start with something poor it just puts you off, if you have the best package under you, you are safe and secure. The best analogy was when I was starting riding (my dad's bro raced Nortons) insisted I got leathers rs125 2 smoker mechanic comes out starts having a go about the leathers, my old man says well 60s still 60 doesn't matter if its a 125 or a blade (which I later had) We have had everything now brand wise had a bad experience with 2x 390s the displays were a big issue over here in the uk where they don't cover them under warranty eventually we had to reject them gutter! The suspension though even at that level of cost was on another level to the 300 Rally I had an the Himalayan. I agree as well about to much power on to chassis on the other bikes had 1200gsa's etc. On an 1150gsa now an I've been applying all your tips getting the weight off the back etc transformed the enjoyment. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids n hopefully soon as we can afford it 890s or Nordens inbound.

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

I have one of these 890 r rippers. Based on my riding experience over the past 40 years. Yes I'm a bit of a geezer. This is one of the best out there. Have had no issues. Other then trying to hold on.

[@chinski1]

Love it as always, it does however create what me & my mate call the “Riemann / tarres “ effect . See you guys ripping these Adv bikes & instilled false confidence in us that we would buy Adv bikes & rip like we do on our enduro 300s. Ktm 990 for him & T7 for me. One year later we both sold them & building 500 exc Adv bikes , just not confident to take the big bikes down serous tracks for fear of dropping & not being able to pick up or getting proper stuck . Maybe we just weren’t ready for 200kg, both coming from hard enduro we thought we’d just make 200kg do what an enduro bike does & wasn’t the case.

[@peterb3473]

Awesome review A, I’ll wait till they’re available in Western Australia to have a look and test ride. Murchison or the Kimberley would be a great test for 1.

[@choice9572]

Keep doing what you’re doing, good stuff, no BS.

[@798cmoto]

what a nice bike ! I like the rally style a lot 😎

[@yorkie2148]

New favourite channel, thanks

[@ronlawson5819]

Another stellar video bud

[@wipperwil]

Proof is in the pounding!! 😆 so good. Thanks for this video mate. Beauty riding. Looks like you may have just unseated my plans for a T7 with a suspension job. Hmmm.

[@Thumpermad]

I was hoping to see you in the 2022 Husky Trek but it looks like you have been busy with that Awesome bit of kit they really are amazing bikes and that motor and suspension package looks just phenomenal. I had the 790R and decided to go with the 690 Enduro R I loved the parallel twin so much I bought a 2021 890Duke R scalpel all awesome bikes cheers Adam great stuff mate.

[@disekjoumoer]

Damn! Andy on the new 890! The perfect rider for the perfect bike.

[@chris_austria]

Love my 790 Advi R, but this suspension is amazing.

[@flipped68]

Awesome work…I’d love to own this beast

[@T23LC]

I love *almost* everything about what I see so far on the new KTM 890 Adventure R with the one exception of that skid plate tank guard combo. I have a Norden 901, it has similar tank guards and they dent and crack super easily. Also, it looks like it's all one piece on the KTM, if that's the case, that'll drive the cost of a proper after market skid plate way up to stamp out that shape. Anyway, great video, love the extra look at the new TFT!

[@bradsanders6954]

You havent looked very close, the 890R has beefy gas tank gaurds that work fine. Easy to replace. Its not part of the skid plate, one is aluminum,one is plastic. Not a combo.

[@dwwphoto]

Good energy mate. Like your videos. Keep charging!

[@geetarthneo]

Riemann has unlocked a new level of humbleness.

[@TwinsRider_Vlog]

Great video mate.. big fan of your Riding. Lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@monocogenit1]

Wow. That's pretty excellent, little better looking to. Nice riding as well.

[@prettydangoodadventures]

You inspire the whole 🌍

[@TRIUMPHUS1]

Liked and shared it with my friends, THX!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Amazing stuff! Can't wait to test this one out 😎👌

[@jonasbaine3538]

Awesome improvements to 890R. Still wish ktm would do a proper 390R which has plenty of power for offroad adv riding.

[@weifeng5958]

Adam your videos along with Ryan F9 are the only two that get thumbs up before watching a single frame of footage 👍🏿Great Job

[@MotologyFilms]

I appreciate your support Wei, thank you 🙏

[@yamahaguy6721]

Woow another wonderful beast from KTM stable its just awesome. Some wise man has said that "its not what you ride, its always how you ride" For me you are not Toby but you are on par with Toby. LOVE ❤️ all the way from INDIA.

Yiiihaaa!! Will see you on november in the ktm event?

[@r1deftone]

Best channel for this type of content. Bar none.

[@richardsprings1414]

Thank you Adam I ride a Honda Africa twin and it's a handful in the dirt I truly believe that the KTM 890 is far more Superior bike for what it's intended for it may be my next purchase appreciate all your hard work

[@jerrychaput2529]

Awsome!!!!

[@granthutchison5788]

Had an '09 fuel injected berg 570, the beginnings of the low grav concept. This vid has got me keen on another bike for sure.

You got my sub Adam 👍

[@paulh7798]

Stunning looking bike.

[@VKumar-zy1rb]

Hey Adam.. your hero impulse ad is still fresh.. I am riding the green one since 2013 after your recommendation😊

[@cmbscx1084]

As someone who wants and will eventually get an 890R you said two key components most overlook or balk at the price. No matter how new or how many gadgets there are tires and suspension are key. When you said the suspension is better than most and "the suspension is the safest package to have under you" is vital after a long day of dancing with a 450+lb bike all day long. Until you ride a poorly suspended bike vs a properly suspended bike you will have no idea how much more grin inducing your bike will be.

[@DocGoldwave]

excellent!!

[@enduroisland4202]

That thing is bad ass!

[@tazyt3388]

Seriously great bit of gear I’d have one hope ya well cobba cheers

[@vaidotasz1]

Top man 👊🏻👍🏻

[@sactown900]

This looks like the PERFECT DP, for a couple of grandpa street riders, looking to sell our S1000XR and 1200 Monster, to return to some Trail riding. GREAT videos.

[@deanhayward7898]

Can't wait for the next video then, don't be long.

[@JorgeBravoPratscher]

As soon as I saw the ad I say....hold on that's not Chris Birch....but I've seen this rider body somewhere....is it Riemann I thought. And I day later I see this! Mate you're a legend. I wish I had your riding skills to invite to come over to Spain and ride together. I still do... I know some sick trails perfect for that 890 but I will too slow for you LOL! ..... but it's ok. I'm going out every weekend and seeing you riding any type of bike I learn a bit more of body position. Legend!

[@MotologyFilms]

Birchy had to jet early after Romaniacs, so he just did the photo shoot then handed me the bike. Was good to catch up with Chris again..

[@SLP-eb1wp]

I like this Adv channel over the rest cause yall actually carry a good semi-race pace.

[@TheSpragz]

Yourself and Mr Birch have made me pre order one of these 😅.
