I want my T7 with the 1090s suspension and 125 odd HP bolted onto it 👌 Solid vid Pete enjoyed that, good to see Al too cheers 🍻

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

I'm hearing you Joshie on the T7 upgrades, would be awesome. Thanks mate.

[@gmcg8775]

Sooo...You want a 1090?

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

@@gmcg8775 my want list is long. LOL.

[@milhollandandrew]

You just described something like an 890r

[@billcotton1551]

It always amazes me when I see someone take a bike like the 1090 off road. Mad props to Alastair!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Some riders have so much skill and confidence. Amazes me as well.

[@bobdrakeford5731]

Magnificent back drop Pete! Another very comprehensive review, as usual. Great you got to ride the orange beast. And you're right, are we ever happy with our bikes? It must be a biker thing! 👍😁

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Aussie Bob, the 1090 sure is an orange beast.

[@johnmac.6760]

Hi Pete, great video, enjoyed that, and Alastair is a legend, keep them coming, all the best mate from Rainy England 👍👍☔😁😂👍👍👍

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps JM, Glad you enjoyed the vid. Alastair sure is a legend. Regards FPPete.

[@mrwill1969]

Pretty nice backdrop for a bike review Pete , really enjoyed Alistair's analysis of his orange thing . As motorbike riders we're never happy with just one bike for too long, we're always looking for the elusive unicorn . Great video Pete. Cheers 🍻

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Mr Will, Aaahh yes, the Unicorn, That's what keeps us on the endless search and discussion. Regards FPPete.

[@OverPenAdventures]

Bought a third hand 2018 1090r in 2020, 25,xxx km and some epic moto camping adventures in BC (Canada) later I'm still loving it. Modded for weight savings they are just fantastic for so many types of riding. Only issues I've had is eating tires and a bum dash display that caused a myriad of issues but was an easy fix once diagnosed.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi COP, You certainly have a great Adventure Bike that loves eating tyres, and throwing huge Roost's at any one who is game enough to get behind that back wheel. LOL.

[@OverPenAdventures]

@@FULLPELTAdventures yes my normal riding partner has those desert HTs on his and I have been the recipient of many a rock to the shin, face, etc... I've gone for less aggro tires in the hopes of stretching the life (got 10k out of a big block before it shredded) but my sidewalls keep getting mangled. Lol the quest continues.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

@@OverPenAdventures Cheers😀👍

[@michaelpowsey]

Hi Pete, good interview, nice to see Alistair back on KZbin, hope to see many more ride outs in the coming months, MIke Honda CB500x UK.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Micheal, Glad you enjoyed the video. And I'm sure Alastair will be out riding with Mark and myself a fair bit now. Regards FPPete.

[@BikerBits]

Bloody Ripper Pete & Alastair! Great interview 👍

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps mate. 😀👍

[@AnxietyWizard]

Awesome channel mate, instant sub. Look forward to catching up on all your other videos.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

KZbin is a lot of work, comments like yours make it all worthwhile. Thanks AW.

[@UniversalMotoRiderByJuanito]

Great bike! And great video…. I ride a 1290 SAR 2022 and just bought myself a 1090R 2018… almost new. I am very excited to start using it. Greetings from sunny Mexico!!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for your comment, and glad you enjoyed the Video. Congrats on your latest 1090R. Fantastic to hear from a viewer in Mexico. Regards FPPete.

[@UniversalMotoRiderByJuanito]

@@FULLPELTAdventures thank you Pete! Have a great day!

[@johnwayne7210]

Good to see Alistair having a chat and you picking his brain with his knowledge and experience. Just thinking good to see you guys away from biker bits then Mark shows up. Ha ha, he might see this. Was surprised with the soft compound he was running and his Highway traveling. But would those tyres be like 70-30 something like that? They look almost full knobs. Where I've got full knobs 10-90 on the crf300l and concerned with wearing the tyres out. But good to see he's running them and 7000kms is really good. Where was the mountain location. 30 min vlog was good length. Cheers Pete

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi JW, Yes the tyres are more dirt orientated. The joy of tyres is just try different combinations for your self and hopefully you will find the right set that suits your riding style. The location was near Mt Korong in central Victoria. Thanks for watching the vid. regards FPPete.

[@paulbourgoin2436]

Love the sound on Alastair's bike... Sounds great. Engins are BEAST ... I love the power delivery on my 1290 SAT... Scares the shit out of you from time to time!! LOL.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Paul, Those big KTM's are friggin awesome. And yes the Barrett blows a nice tune.

[@davidcauchi2837]

Hello Pete and Alestair, so good to see you both, always fun to share information and experiences on bikes....stay safe.... David..Adelaide Tiger900GT

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps David.

[@paulconnell7605]

Great review Pete , enjoy hearing the stories of other people’s bikes - Paul

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps Paul, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@andrew.hodges.camping]

Great video Pete. Well done !

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Andrew, Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@jaycsfable]

Great review guys it's made my decisions more easily thank you.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Excellent look at Alastair’s 1090. I also appreciate Kate’s the look at the GL Mohave bags on the big bike. I picked up a 2018 KTM Super Adventure R so I’m soaking up reviews of the large KTM ADV bikes to see what people have run on them. Also liked the thoughts from Alastair on the T-7. I’d like a lower tech mid sized ADV bike if the 1290 SAR and I don’t gel.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks pww, I always recommend test riding bikes yourself, that really is the only way you will know what's right for you. regards FPPete.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@FULLPELTAdventures For sure. Most dealerships don’t allow us to hop on a bike for a test ride here in the states. Especially buying a KTM from a Harley dealership.

[@holmeseysadventures4511]

Go the KTM Pete great watch mate keep up the good work 👍

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps Holmesey, I just realised it's the first time I have ridden a KTM, what a beast.

[@ryanwerts85]

I love how my bike has so much of what someone Alistair has done to his. Feels like I did something right lol. I love the tusk high guard. Makes it look so damn aggressive. Nice outfitting of the bike. Amazing riding.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps Ryan. 1090 sure is a great bike. I passed on your comment to Alistair.

[@duncanscott-irving225]

Great build..I've a new 1290r...was hoping to pick your brain on fitting highrise front guard.. where did you get yours from..etc..?

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Alastair purchased it from rockymountianatvmc.com and Biker bits video search "KTM 1090 high fender kit install" hope this helps.

[@johnmckay5711]

That was great Pete, Are you going for a upgrade suspension now on your T7

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks John, At this stage I'm happy with the stock suspension. Thanks for watching.

[@TheGravelBadger]

Awesome bike, I love big bikes for the long hauls and the challenge off road. Only thing that drew me to the GS was it never falls flat with the boxer engine, I imagine this one is a lump to pick up! Of course there’s a compromise there when it comes to riding through ruts etc. Always loved the big KTMs though and the sheer power they make. Awesome Pete and thanks Alistair! One day we will ride together, give the big girls a run!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Heaps TGB. Glad you enjoyed the Video. Would be fantastic to ride together one day. Regards FPPete.

[@Chris_Z.]

Great review. Just completed a group tour where there were about 6 Tenere T7. I noticed they all had the same tyres. Motoz Rallz front, Motoz Adventure or the Rallz on the rear.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Chris. Thanks for the info. And glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Crust2013]

That's a shame t7s are shit plus this is a ktm1090R piece

[@bradleyalexander5821]

That’s a big-fast motorbike. A bit too much for me. I’m a huge fan of Motoz tires, I’m thinking Alistair’s on to an interesting combo, front/rear selection. Great interview and solid video, background was gorgeous. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Bradley, So glad you enjoyed the video. And yes the 1090 is BIG.

[@adventuristtv]

I’m running the exact same tyre combo on a 1290R and I find they are quite noisy on the road, but the traction off-road is great.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@adventuristtv I just came off a Pan America for a 1290 SAR. Taking it in today to my local non KTM dealer to get different tires on it, a bit over 4K on the stock (I’m guessing)TKC 80’s and they look pretty torn apart. The dealer said they had some MotoZ tires in stock for it, I’ll see how it goes.

[@TallyHoTech]

where was this Bro

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi THT, I can't remember where it was, some where NW of Bendigo. It was a cracking location with Stunning views. Regards FPPete.

[@jinxymcjinxface6133]

Good review Pete 👍 have you tried the ktm 890? have a go...

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

thanks JM. Have not ridden the 890, but I'm sure it's pretty good.

[@jimdoolan2277]

Great review just got me a honda 300L Great 👍 hopefully you might get to ride one 😀 Cheers

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Jim, I would love to review the 300. Just gotta get my hands on one.

[@1962clarky]

Nice video Pete but I like the African Twin more..

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks David, the Africa Twin for me as well, the 1090 is too tall for me.

[@tjracingteam]

Ripper review Pete. KTM and all brands I guess, have the great ability to sell you almost the bike you need. Then they bring out a catalogue with all the bits you will need to complete it. (KTM power parts catalogue) Adventure bike without a bash plate, barkbusters, language rack for example. WTF. Foot pegs! Don't get me started on bloody foot pegs. XR 50 peg is almost wider than the standard 1290 pegs. With rubber tops to give you extra slip. But the upgraded Rally pegs will only cost you 270 bucks. Aaahhhhhh! Why the freak they aren't fitted in the first place. Also the electronics package. Quickshifter, hill brake assist etc that they can switch on in a nano second for $1500 Rant over All said. I still love my KTM. 😁 Well set up Alistair. And you handle the big girl like a champion. 👍

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

thanks again tjrt, Yes the T7 catalogue has jaw dropping Prices as well. Glad you enjoyed the vid, and really appreciate your comment. regards FPPete.

[@gilvietor1918]

Very interested in his tire setup, very interested, thank you.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for watching the video and glad you got something out of it. Regards FPPete.

Awesome bike 🏍 🤗

It sure is DD. Thanks for watching the video.

[@RoyClendaniel]

I love my 1090R. I'll never outride that bike. Much better two-up compared to the T700 or 890R.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for your comment. KTM has something for everyone, from the 390 to the 1290 they have a great range to choose from.

[@portlandtwowheels1872]
