KTM1190 - Chris Birch - KTM Australia Adventure Training Series

[@andy1718]

Chris Birch makes it look so effortless! Watch the pro in action at 0:55, just sublime to watch. Cheers guys

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

well done guys chris is the best ive ever seen on the big adv bikes !!!

[@brentfrank7012]

Looks like a blast, these trainings are always a lot if fun and a lot of education.

[@hommebizzare]

Very good video! I loved the editing and the riding skills were awesome as always with Chris... and that save at 2:00 was absolutely unbelieveable

[@mafric750]

Chris Birch makes those big heavy bikes look very nimble, but I can't help noticing that he's not using a standard rear shock. White spring, Touratech?

[@osimnod]

Another excellent video and pitch-perfect teaching from Chris and the KTM guys. I made the mistake of attempting some off-road trails on my Caponord after just watching Chris handle the 1190 like a light-weight enduro. All I got was cracked and scraped plastics and a healthy helping of humble pie! Dropped down to a KLX300 to develop some real-world skills. LOL

Great riding skills and knowledge-fueled session 20 August 2021

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thanks ✌️

[@repeterz]

Chris Birch is amazing.. Maybe we should make hime do the Romaniacs on an 1190.

[@TheWanderingGeezer]

Notice that at 1:41 that his elbows are down, or more accurately in, not up as he had stated.

[@gork-i7c]

Good catch! His elbows were outside till he start giving throttle to start skidding so maybe it was just a mistake but also maybe he did it while trying to weight more inside of the bike to help skidding. It's a heavy bike though must be hard to skid like that.

[@Ramoa111]

Birch is the boss of big enduro!

[@lucyhusky]

Great video, nice bikes.

[@CaliforniaDualSportRiders]

Looks like a blast!

[@MrSeho]

What type of mitas tyres are they used? Thx for info

[@Chris-1962]

Chris really rocks....!

[@turdbucket5424]

Anyone put any High mileage on their KTM 1190? Im curious about Engine reliability for long long Journeys? I know of the stator/alternator issue and the airbox issue. Anything Else? I like the R1200GS engine Reliability (notice i didn't say electronics) but these bikes seem nimble compared to it.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

+TurdBucket I've interviewed a number of long term riders and those interviews will be posted soon. Including one guy that has ridden half way around the world.

[@turdbucket5424]

Thanks, can't wait to see!

[@KonikMr]

+TurdBucket Bought the bike last year and done 19k in 10 months, 9k from it was done in 5 weeks during our travelling. No issues so far. It's a great bike for touring + dirt roads, lots of fun. The only downside is back tyre. Because of the power and fun factor the thread is disappearing quite fast :)...

[@ian2958]

+TurdBucket A german fellow Martin Leonhardt has been riding the 1190 ADVR for 2 years now all across South America (wow, 2 years travelling). He's to my knowledge one of the few non KTM-sponsored riders who put some permanent abuse to the bike. He had his share of troubles, but I think that the BMW, Tiger, etc would have had just as many problems. If you want reliability, less is more. Don't go for the latest model, but rather for a bike that has been on the market for a few years (known to the mecanics and the community), as little electronics as possible and if which can be self-serviced as much as possible (i.e. Yamaha Tenere XT660Z). The 1190 ADVR is a great bike, but I wouldnt choose it if I had to depend on it (neither would I go for a BMW, Tiger, etc.)

[@aluisious]

+TurdBucket They have a reputation for killing fuel pumps, too. I was just reading a review last night where a guy rode San Francisco to North Carolina/Georgia and it literally died as he rolled into his friends beach house driveway. 3000 miles on a new bike, pretty weaksauce. Not something you'd want to take on a honest to god adventure across a deserted area. I've ridden my Multi on the road with these bikes, they seem great, but all the shit that goes wrong with them is a bummer.

[@yoshimitsu411]

Does anyone know what the comfort setting should be for the front and rear shocks on the 1190 Adventure R? I'm approximately 90kgs with riding gear on.

[@vkumar95aviator]

Would it be a bit impractical to buy a 1000cc+ bike if i am smaller in weight and height?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

If you're a learnerYES YES. If you can ride and stand on the pegs and go hard. No No No.

[@vkumar95aviator]

Thank you for the quick reply sir!

[@Ramoa111]

there's like a million bucks on bikes right there

[@defylifeadventure]

Why are they all on 1190s are they rentals? Or are other bikes not allowed?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

+Carl Michael It was a KTM event where riders with those bike were invited. Similar to what BMW and Yamaha do in various countries through out the world.

[@jemhidiahssj4114]

How 😎 I need this as a first time big bike offroad rider. I've riden offroad Since 6yrs old but big adv bikes like the 1190 advr I have now is a new thing. I've never been on anything bigger than a 450 thumper offroad. Plenty of time on sport and cruisers but the 1190 adventure r is a different kind of beast!

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

I wouldn't got to this for a first time adventure if you have a dirt background. You need something smaller because you'll always be looking and wanting to go on those tighter trails.

[@jemhidiahssj4114]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV oh don't worry I have a 350 exc-f for the single track stuff. Got the 1190 adv r for the long haul and less technical riding. At least till I get more comfortable on the big bike. I live in the north east of the USA so if I want to go out west and ride I have to trailer the 350, just can't deal with service intervals and maintenance trying to ride 2000-3000 miles one way to ride out west. So the big adventure is perfect for long trips if I don't want to trailer.

[@smddesign3461]

Great vid

[@dirtroadtrack5118]

I'd like to attend this... Thank you.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Next training series in January 2017

[@edmachado22]

Great video :)

[@Mal501]

I did this course with Chris a few months back, albeit on my Tiger, not a Katoom. Fabulous course and Chris is, indeed, a genius on these things. What isn't clear at kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4TGd3uaidRsha8 is how steep that rock is, and the stoppie he did on the way down.

[@rsmaster5637]

WHAT KIND IF TIRES DID THEY USE ?

[@oliverallen5324]

Mitas E-09

[@HansumRob100]

that looks like fun

[@TONIJET1A]

Fantástica KTM

[@gregM49]

Cela semble être une bien belle excursion. ;)

[@ludicrous8794]

Buen profesor

[@rppacheco]

Amazing

[@aluisious]

Man those are some expensive bikes to be crashing. I was pretty timid riding my CRF250L on single track, never mind one of these.

[@princefancybum4605]

They're built to be dropped, a few low speed tumbles in the dirt shouldn't hurt them

[@cyrilmenant201]

geniiiiaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[@lolbruah]

WELL DONE I SAY ! ^^

[@ronanrogers4127]

3:20...that’s me, guaranteed
