Hope you guys get the Kove 800X and run it through its paces....Currently riding a 2018 Suzuki V-Strom 650XT and considering the Tuareg, KTM790 or Kove 800X for next bike...Thanks for your content.

IMO I'd take the Kove over the 701. I've ridden both and while the 701 is great, the Kove is better suited for adv riding and feels like a dirt bike on the trails. The Kove is way better on the road too with that windshield.

Probably to the AJP PR7

[@mxdave]

Most underrated adv bike.

[@TractioneRag]

Good call.

[@TractioneRag]

Love to have access to this bike. We also agree - an aircooled engine in a good chassis would be brilliant.

[@SweetandStickyFilms]

I showed up to one of your log hopping things with the legend Barry Morris on my 690. I am stoked to see more bikes in the Dakar style category, hope to see even more 👊✊

[@TractioneRag]

Was that in AB?

@@TractioneRag kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpLbZZ9mhdNno8ksi=Ez6oyRTmp1p3Ehh0 It was just outside of the loops. Had a blast and learned some fundamentals. This was the rest of my weekend 🤘

[@crosstrainingadventure]

Bloody Aussies and their ultra dodgy training. 😂😂

[@miro_s]

But after all the 690/701 engine (LC4) derives from one that run several the Dakar.

[@stefanhansen5882]

Interesting. How does it compare to the CRF300L/Rally?

[@TractioneRag]

We're going to find that out this summer as we have a fleet of 300Ls!

[@jnew3755]

When are you bringing the Varg and Storm video?

[@TractioneRag]

One of them is cued for release now. Two more in the works.

[@miro_s]

well spoken!
