[@Gapihamiha6]

You are first creator i can find for long distace travel with Kove 450. Most of us are to afraid to trust the bike for such journey

[@usuariouser224]

500kms garage oil 😅

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

I had no doubts.... Honest... :)

No need to be afraid, build really good

[@BraapTales]

I've done multiple 250+ mile days on the Kove. The bike is solid and trustworthy.

[@leevuong8843]

I think I saw you guys in Morocco on April 6 a few hours South of Ceuta (North of Moroco) as I was returning from Mauritania on my Transalp. Riding solo for 11,000km

[@MotoPassport]

Great scenery really enjoyed the road and landscape. Keen to see how the Kove is getting along, well done mate

[@enduromotorradtouren]

First longer trip with the Kove 450 Rally I found on YiuTube. Congrats! Terrific bike, what a spectacular country. Looking forward to your biek review. Günter/Nürnberg

[@JIMWSMITH]

Be nice to have a full run down of all the bikes used for this trip. Fantastic stuff , morroco is amazing.

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

I will add something after I've finished the part two of the ride video...

[@1998TDM]

Great post, I was debating whether I would rather have the Kove or T7. My nearest desert is Australia and I'm hoping to do an organized ride in the sandy stuff at some point on the Yammie. The range and weight of the Kove makes it look like a better ride for the job.

[@llama233]

This looks epic! I was in Morocco in December last year but with the family so we were in a van. I was so jealous of the groups of bikes we saw, I'd definitely like to go back on two wheels next time. I found the Moroccans to be nothing but friendly, a really amazing country.

[@darrentucker1839]

Absolutely brilliant ! Can't wait for the next episode.well done

[@pelussa66]

From Argentina excellent trip!

[@angusmorrison8109]

Brilliant trip . Envious . Hopefully, get there soon.

I’m doing the same trip feb 2025 on a husky 500 and looking forward to it. Great videos thanks.

brilliant, watching via NWTRF page - what a journey

[@billness2635]

Morocco is at the top of my list for riding! I’ve ridden there twice so far with plans to return! Once on my KTM690 Rally and last spring on my 20 year old KTM450exc. Nearly 3000 miles each trip with zero issues! Great people!

[@ramadacars8984]

You welcome

[@muguk]

Looked like it was a lot of fun! More captions in the next video as YT's CC mode struggled to understand what you were saying. It even picked up on one of the pieces of music with the choir background and displayed "Oh" :)

[@soniafairhurst7257]

Brilliant - really enjoyed, music good as well. Decided I'm getting a motorbike in my next life 😂

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

Thank You #1 Fan!

[@NorthWestEnduro]

Looked like very thorough checks at passport control 😂. Great video would love to do a trip like this one day 👌

[@BraapTales]

Great moto adventure! Hope I can ride in Africa someday. The Kove is an incredible bike, is it not? I love mine!

[@paulcoverdale8312]

What do you think the 800 rally will be like based on the 450?? ❤❤🏍️🏍️👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Finaly got round to watching a wounderful vid guys. Any probs on the way through?? Waitin for the 800x rally to come to UK , hopefully March 25. Did you replace the original air filter with the foam one?? Cheers guys an appy Xmas, have a very hungover nu yr.❤❤🏍️🏍️🎄🎄⛄️⛄️🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧💎💎

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

No issues - the UK 450 comes with the foam filter as standard.

[@duncana5336]

Fantastic video. Looks like an epic trip. The 450 looks like the sweet spot for travel/trail/road bike and that type of trip. If you have the gps logs of the route you did around the atlas can you share them? Thanks.

[@maze7_7]

The suspense! 🤣

[@ACE_888]

Hello, how was the comfort of the seat for long distance? Did you do any mods to it or just go for the stock seat?

[@NoRoads2AllRoads]

Amazing...do you happen to have a gpx file?

[@koa818]

Kove is very indepen now 👏👏👍🍃🍃🍃🍃✊

[@LomasSanMiguel]

One question: If you must change oil every 2000km that is not nice for a trip of 8000 km in South America or Asia. What do you think?

[@cecco23]

How was the seat? Any issue with loading luggage weight? Risk to break the back?

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

I had the seat modded to make it softer in the 'sitting' area. £35. No issue with luggage - the rear tank (subframe if you will) is solid.

[@blackyaround]

Beautiful adventure! 👌💪😎✌️ Did the machine behave well Better with the Kove or the T7??

[@vyacheslavshestakov2021]

Saw a Tablet on your Kove. What’s the brand and how do you “install” it on Kove?

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

Phonemaxx T1 Pro. You can buy a CNC mount for the tablet and then there's a few options for mounting on the bike. Either a 3d print mount or www.motoboxer.eu/produit/gps-holder-for-kove-450-rally/

[@vyacheslavshestakov4578]

@@adventuresonbikes1370 and what about CNC mount? Where I can find it for Phonemax T1 Pro? Can't find it :( 3D printing is a good option if you have a printer :)

[@juanvanrell10]

Nice video and trip, do you have the track ,please

[@IM-nt6ql]

Hey man, great trip and nice vid! Going to be watching this to completion when I get some time. Purchasing the Kove and going to be riding it in Kenya. Quick question, I've seen you are using the Mosko Reckless 40l bags. Is that the Stinger 22l tail bag you have on? Planning on buying the Mosko Scout 50l duffle bag and maybe later the Reckless system. Do you have any idea if the Scout 50l will fit with the Reckless system in place of the Stinger?

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

Yep - I put the 22 on to fit the winter sleeping bag! I'm not sure the Scout 50L will fit between the side bags - I had to rotate mine around and fit it front to back.

[@kiza1981]

Hello sir, have you the track on wikiloc or similar?, thanks

[@mattjones4765]

How did the Kove hold up, was there a puncture on the front or something else? Keen for the debrief!!

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

Puncture! Will do a follow up on the bike after part 2...

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Is the can the stock one? Sounds proper an not like a sewing machine or the dreaded Wet Fart!!!😂😂😂😂😂 NICE! ❤❤❤great vid🏍️🏍️👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@markozer0]

Congrats for long test ride! very usefu! some questions :-) : do you have mounted the oem Kove Tower or after market? I see the Montana and other devices...what sort of tablet is that? finally, how's the seat and vibrations after many km? thanks!

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

The tablet/montana mount are 3d printed (details in the Kove/GPX facebook groups). The tablet is a PhoneMaxx T1 Pro rugged tablet. Available direct from Phonemaxx. The seat is hard - i had some softer foam put in and added sheepskin. No vibrations.

[@clayderouin857]

thanx! how did you get your nav mounted??

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

3d printed - available on the Kove USA group. Now swapped for a motoboxer gps mount.

[@EricHints]

Hi, cool videos! What navigation setup do you use for the Kove? The tablet, attachment and occasional GPS attachment seen in the videos. I have the same bike and thinking how to set it up for the navigation better (and should I purchase the tower). Have you ever used the built in pairing/navigation options in Koves own dashboard?

[@franknunez7204]

Hey bud this is great, thanks so much. Can you tell me how many miles you have on the bike, and what percentage at what top highway speed you think you rode? I'm trying to differentiate application between ktm 500 (which ktm says the engine can blow up on if putting any highway miles at 75mph or higher for even 1/2 hour on), and a bike like the Kove which would have to be designed to do sustained higher rpms. In the US, on some highways, you need to be able to do at least 75mph to not be bullied around and be in charge of your ... life. thanks for your awesome vid.

[@fmj2086]

Hi mate, what an experience! Looks like a good trip. What is the mount you’re using for the garmin? Trying to find a one for my old Oregon 550 GPS

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

Just the AMPS mount with Ram Ball adaptor - unfortunately the 3d printed ram ball didn't survive the whole trip though!

[@ExeterCenturion]

Cracking video, what was the BMW?

[@paolo.capelli]

Thanks for sharing these great experiences. How did you mount a tablet on kove 450 rally? have you use a specific rack?

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

3d printed mount from Kove facebook group. Since changed for a motoboxer mount.

[@andyharrison3539]

Hi great video can I ask what your luggage set up was did you use a rack or is it a reckless system?

[@Zerotys_ADV]

Bucket List moto trip. Did you all create the routes or was it through a travel outfit? Would have like to see more of Kove though.

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

Route created in Basecamp...

[@ABRLoons]

Hi mate. Is this an organised trip with guide ?

[@SecureStrategiesGroup]

itchy boots vibes...... nice video mate

[@BraapPacker]

How did you mount your gps above the dash? Is that the stock tower or an aftermarket one from uncle wangs?

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

3d printed mount - but have since changed to motoboxer mount from France

[@cardy007]

Looks like a sweet trip, nice mix of Road and trail, some bits looked hard but the Kove really does look like the unicorn for the job. Is the seat comfy?

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

I had seat modified with softer foam - it's a bit hard otherwise. Seat concepts now have a comfort seat too...

[@koa818]

Avndico kove 👍👏👏

[@LomasSanMiguel]

One question: Kove says you must change oil every 2000 km. That is not very nice for a long trip, like 8000 km in South America or Asia, What do you think?

[@RockyDeanda-w6m]

It’s like the yellow speed limit signs coming off a highway. More like guidelines 😂😂😂😂

[@usuariouser224]

Warranty. Change oil? 500kms

[@adventuresonbikes1370]

Final oil change was during the trip...

[@scannorse]

500 km is only the first changes, after that its 2000 when used for what it is designed for. For trips like this you may go longer intervals

[@jean-patktm9243]

Hello and thank you for your video. Have you modified or improved your KOVE ? Is it entirely original ? I'm impatiently waiting for mine at the end of May. I follow you from France. Good ride
