The question is : More Bob or less Bob? 😅

[@Gamez_0880_]

more

[@GS_riders1250]

More of Bob! He was hilarious 😂

[@TaintedAngel692]

Bob was funny. 😂 more is good

[@michaelespinola6208]

def. more. Or maybe have a life of bob channel too?

[@MichaelKalyaano]

More Bob! Maybe Bob can film Smokey in some more rides too😊

[@red.riot.2280]

Love the edits! Haha. “Dammit bob”. He needs to be in more videos. Keep up the fun content. And the Norden is 👌👌👌

[@timsalabimbombassa]

So it was you who I spotted at Motocare last Friday. The accent from de Kempen sounded familiar. So many beautiful KTM’s in that showroom. And they’re all a compromise. My adventure 890 is probably the ideal compromise for me, ride hard everywhere, but that SMT looks like a lot of fun. Well, choosing is losing…

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yep I was , should have said hello haha. And to be honest every garage needs about 4-5 motorcycles to fit all your riding needs 😅.

[@christophekruyniers7553]

I have a 2011 KTM 990SMT, would never change to this newer model. I think the old LC8 V2 motor is far superior to this newer paralel 890 one. And if you're honest, so do you.

[@chiboreache]

most ridiculous thing it's the engine from enduro, not duke r, and price more than enduro, dat lol😅

[@tomtraynor5384]

Had a 2014 SMT and same conclusion. Give up like 10-15 HP for starters. Parts bin monstrosity.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yep when I get on an 890 coming of my history of many LC8 engines it feels like stepping on a moped 😅

[@NudaMan]

The V-Twin bikes from Ktm feel characterful while the parallel twins feel bland and boring, it’s quick & agile which is good but it would be one of those bikes I buy and most likely sell to buy a 1000cc super sport 😂

[@qwerwolf69]

The "everything's off" button is on the right side of the handlebar, but unfortunately it's for the engine too. 🙄😉 We really need this personalisable "Wicked" button.

[@ianferrier235]

Pretty funny guy smokey, love it.

[@lukefish7562]

I’ve got the Norden 901 Expedition and I love it! Enjoy the new ride! Congrats! 🏍️💨

[@janw4725]

How is the wind protection? Im 1'90

[@lukefish7562]

@@janw4725I’m 6’2” and it is NOT a problem whatsoever. My dealer said the shorter screen was a complaint with original Norden owners. Of course off-road it could get in the way more as you’re more likely to hit it with face/helmet but I’ve done some jumping and haven’t hit it yet. Hope you grab one as I don’t think you’ll regret it. Enjoy whatever ya got! 👊🏽🏍️💨

[@janw4725]

@@lukefish7562 thnx , i like the looks of the bike . I think ill end up with a test ride soon

[@lukefish7562]

@@janw4725 my pleasure Jan. I also think it’s incredibly sharp looking and I like the original Norden along with the 890s too. But when I saw the Expedition I was sold. Hope you get on one soon. I’m sure you’re aware but with the extras included over the original Norden and even stacked up against the 890 ADV R it’s an incredibly good deal. Just the upgrade in suspension is worth it but also the taller windscreen, heated seat and grip, much better skid plate, luggage and explorer mode included add up too a great deal. And it’s fancy blue topo color aren’t bad either. 🏍️💨

[@mowkevdb]

We want to hear bob 😂😂

[@marcochavane3124]

Just a heads up. You can assign the up and down arrows shortcuts to rude mode and ABS settings.

[@LifeofSmokey]

I have it for ride mode and MTC yeah. But it's still a couple moves to much sometimes. Might be cause I'm lazy 😅

[@johnsmit3883]

Bob should wear yellow Smokey, then you can call him Bob the minion😉

[@vancloosterjean-noel9266]

Wel maat, toffe proefrit! Proficiat

[@majed_alshaya]

Good luck smokey

[@PIgelhammar]

Your funny Guy 😂 You can create a favorite ridemode and then double clip up on left side as short cut, for exempel Track mode without antiwheelie

[@sch0k0d3aler5]

Bob is a weirdo, i like Bob MORE BOB!!!

[@daimonmt]

Hi Smokey, would like to see you try the new Honda Transalp and give us an honest review if you could. Since you do like that style of riding I believe most of us want an unbiased opinion.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yep working on it. Just picking up Ducati's for the next month on a weekly basis 😅. Will ask my local Honda dealer for one soon 😎👌

[@TheOliveradams]

Motocare Bekkevoort , the same place I go with my 890 DUKE R

[@TaintedAngel692]

When riding in my town, send a heads up. Specially if you wheelie 2 blocks away from me 😂😂 Ever thought about giving some riding lessons/tips n tricks?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Haha didn't know that. I try to do wheelies at places that people would't recognise. Guess that was not the place to be 😅. And I'm such a goof myself with zero skills in my opinion so I don't feel comfortable giving any tips 🙈

[@TaintedAngel692]

@@LifeofSmokey I just live pretty close to you. 😋 and we share our motor shop, that's why i recognize a lot of places. And for the record, you are a great driver. 💪👊

[@KVA.93]

Ne ronde rozijnenkoffiekoek, what more could you need? 😂

[@chrissahlstrom8939]

Hey smokey, still stoked on my 1290. What did you get for tires? I went with a motoz adventure tractionator for the rear and a dunlop trailmax mission for the front. Wont be mix and matching again !

[@LifeofSmokey]

In the next video I'm picking it back up and showing the tires. They are te Metzeler Karoo 4 😁. No personal preference , just a test. The Mitas E10 dakars had a top speed of 160km/u and didn't want that anymore. But now that I think about it , they are aggressive nobbies again so might still be 160 max 🙈😅

[@shhmule]

So I got told you have to buy the Track Pack in order to disable anti-wheelie mode. Is that true? or can the base-model still allow wheelies?

[@31nerf]

Are you sure about the need of going to abs after being charged the riding mode? I think they solve this, at the same time you change the mode the abs is changing as well

[@LifeofSmokey]

Damn not sure if it also changed when going to the supermoto mode. The ABS for me is not the most important. It's more the wheelie stuff 😁

[@Gamez_0880_]

idk but your voice sounds different new mic ? or its just me

[@LifeofSmokey]

I had the flu and my nose was jammed up 😅

[@damirradovic9116]

His name is Bob, and he is the Silent guy? So that make you Jay XD

[@LifeofSmokey]

😂😂😂

[@EntertainmentMagazine1989]

Hey bro. could you tell me what's ur camera set up?? looks good. ❤❤❤ ride safe bro

[@LifeofSmokey]

Go pro 9 + media mod + Rode lavalier microphone

[@nicofonce]

The main question I have remains unanswered: what are the pros and cons compared to the KTM 890 Duke (R)? This KTM line-up makes me confused....

[@LifeofSmokey]

Super motard look , engine different tune , and this one has the Supermoto rear abs that will make it slide...don't think there is much more to it. Al the rest is just the same 😌

[@reygon1598]

Ржака)) Классный видос😁

[@_amangupta]

Where are you from brother?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Belgium but I feel American

[@ChuckMahon]

You are so wearing out the "clap instant ride" opening. Time for something new.

[@LifeofSmokey]

I think I did it 5 times 😅. Want it to make my signature move 😂

[@silveriojohan]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tazdikahmed4112]

First comment 😅😅

[@Inked_CR]

Only thing that keeps me from buying one is the hideous looks.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yeah I'm also not a big fan 😅
