Dakar 2014 rider Ben Grabham KTM

Interview with Australian KTM factory rider Ben Grabham, just days before he heads to race the Dakar. Ben is well prepared physically, mentally and has the support of the KTM factory. We are expecting him to go well.

I'm watching it twice because I can't get enough of the sound that bike puts out. Stunning.

I come back to this video from time to time just listen to that exhaust note, has to be one of the cleanest and yet dirtiest 4 stroke exhaust sounds ever recorded great job guys 👌

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Couldn't agree more! Yeah we got hold of a very good microphone to record Ben's test bike.

[@eveRide]

I dream of being that fast... But even in my dreams my mind limits me to go as fast as he does! Another awesome video!

[@rideforrestride]

Is riding a 690?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Forrest Rider no 450

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Forrest Rider Nope, 450

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

The longest 2 seconds of my life. Looking down a camera lense as Ben approaches at full noise whilst I'm on my knees. Then we do it again, this time with me facing away. You'll find the two shots at 21 and 22 seconds.

Great video footage! I'm looking at getting a 1190 r for my 40th birthday so I enjoyed the KTM footage. Good luck at Dakar.

[@Phl_b]

[@kianuro]

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

we used a special microphone to capture the grunt :)

[@eveRide]

MrDuhfactor can you help me go this fast? :-)

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yes. Get a cramp in your right forearm. Trust me, it works......but stopping is an issue. :)

[@adamburton5194]

Good on ya Grabbo, glad recovery went well and you are still riding like a freak

[@tomosan1967]

Good luck at the Dakar Ben.

[@phrankus2009]

Surely would have liked to learn a lot more about the bike he will be riding and about any civilian analogs to his factory-worx rig.

[@MRxr400]

what awesome riding. I'd love to see him ride in the flesh. That bike was extremely neighbour unfriendly, I was supprised it wasn't a bigger bore than 450. Sounded and riden sweet

[@richmoto1]

[@simonchant761]

Listen to you lot, fucking experts. Until you're faster and better than Ben shut your ignorant mouth.

[@simonchant761]

You go ben absolute champion.

[@MrDuhfactor]

eveRide , that boy's got somethin' we dont.....stones the size of cannon balls, with a reserve set in the trailer for anyone else who dares to come along....the only time most people go balls out is on a known repeatable motocross track, I say we hang on to whatever residual testosterone we have, and stick to laughing at each other crash at 10 mph :)

[@wj_owen]
