TOP 10 Reasons Why I LOVE My NEW KTM 1290 Super Adventure R

[@LifeofSmokey]

What's the best bike you have ever taken for a ride? 😎

[@D_F_A]

From all the bikes that I've owned over the years for a dirt bike that stands out and always impressed was a little IT175 J. It was like riding a BMX bike with wicked 2-stroke engine. Loved it. Road bike it is hard to beat my current bike (with 217,000km) a Kawasaki 1400GTR. It is my daily rider that I take out on weekends for fun. It does everything i need and and I've rarely (if at all) hit its limits.

[@Benboy1980]

Got tbh…I absolutely love my KTM SD GT, bought it within days of test riding it. Best ride so far, something about the V twin. Just love it 😍

[@LifeofSmokey]

@@Benboy1980 same here! Really loved my GT as well. I'm just getting old i think and i needed some more comfort 😅

[@McMike]

R1200RT 😇 But rode tested the 1290 Adv and also loved it 😎

[@amaduulia8921]

KTM 1190 AdVr. Everyday.

[@ikenwitt]

Had mine since February. It’s really next level!

[@D_F_A]

That's for showing the crash testing. I was a little concerned about how well the protection bars work although now I know they work fine.

Fellow belgian here . 3 years ago I sold my 1190 adventure S . So after 3 years it started to itch again . I thought i needed an bmw s1000xr , but that bike ,while having an absolute beast of an engine , didnt give me any smiles. Then i rode an "old "1290 SAS from 2018 and it was an instant smile from the first twist of the throttle .. so i am now a proud owner of an old 1290 SAS :p

[@LifeofSmokey]

Haha congrats!! And yeah that 1290 V-twin is something else right 😁👌

[@Jackson53ie]

I cant sleep for 3 days and still have to wait until friday for my baby to arrive. Til then ill keep watching you😂... Waiting for more👊👊

[@LifeofSmokey]

Congrats!!! You are gonna love it! Be careful first miles ok 😅👌

[@expatbiker6598]

When a bike almost kills you more than once and you're still inseparable. That's true toxic love. 🤣🤣

[@LifeofSmokey]

I have a couple near death experiences with these 1290 engines. But when i ride them my testosteron levels go up for some reason 😅.

[@bramschmitz99]

@@LifeofSmokey hahah no shit 😂

[@powamoto]

Smokey ya thumbnail straight tripping 🚀💥🤯💥🤯

[@stefan-ge]

love the comedy aspect

[@LifeofSmokey]

Thx Stefan 😁

[@vvr881]

Absolutely 💯...the comedy/sarcasm makes it

[@LifeofSmokey]

@@vvr881 don't want to scare people away from my vids or step on people who have long toes 😅. So i'm always a bit careful with that haha

[@Rayk76]

What a bike, what a bike, whst a bike...that's all I can say plus I'm jealous

[@LickyDischarge]

Nice upload thank you!! This will be my next bike, I sold my 1290GT because of the leaned forward position which my back didn’t like. Currently on a ATAS CRF1100, but it’s so underpowered for overtaking safely.

[@LifeofSmokey]

The Super Adventure R is like a Cadillac compared to the 1290GT 😁👌

[@NucleusArcherBIGZ]

Put my deposit down today, extremely excited to own this bike!

[@LifeofSmokey]

It is soooo much fun! Watch my latest video where i'm popping wheelies and doing offroad singletracks. 😁👌

[@NucleusArcherBIGZ]

@@LifeofSmokey One of the reasons I put the deposit down, you convinced me haha

[@ShaftDrive]

WTF!!! 😂. GSA guy. I finally picked up one of these. I hate those black tank pads. I ended getting a matching 3d gel pad from Italy. Matches really nice.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Did a custom wrap on the bike , had to take the tank pads back of 😅🙈

[@magnusschimmel2614]

4:35 ... ich konnte 5 Minuten nicht aufhören zu lachen. 🤣

[@edukze]

That was funny review 😂❤

[@ShaftDrive]

That quick shifter is better then the one on my GSA. Though I think I like the GSA for highway better.

[@jibinraj6058]

Ahhh the boxer engine part 🤣🤣🤣

[@Anonymous-qx9hs]

That's my dream bike .... Though love your humour 🤣.

[@lianventer2089]

I'm a bmw gs owner but I do think that the ktm adv 1290 r is a great bike

[@tarvomolder4977]

Nice storytelling! 👍

[@pierrekawa76]

Hello ,Mitas E07 + ? Beautiful. Bike 😅💪👍

[@LifeofSmokey]

E10 dakar 😁

[@martiner4051]

Man hahah i cracked up with the bmw its so true. its said "muy caliente" if you wanna says "very hot" *is spanish xd. Greetings from Argentina.

[@LifeofSmokey]

I mean "very nice" in Spanish 😅.

[@alancorcoran3496]

What price are they in Europe now ?, there around $33k in oz , fantastic bike

[@LifeofSmokey]

About the same here in Euro's 😌

[@sgtunix]

BMW GS rider watching this. Funny!

[@billyandriam]

4:28 Louder for the people in the back Smokey! The boxer engines really sounds like an old man's fart.

[@GILLDK]

jjajajaja mucho caliente? Muy suave, muy fino. Me divierto en tus videos, tengo la misma moto. Vengo de 1290S 2018 a 1290R 2022.

[@stephennaylor9107]

great videos, thinking to get one of these. Does your R have the high speed wobble at around 220km/h? would love to know

[@LifeofSmokey]

Only did about 200 running it in on street tires. Most aggressive knobbies like the TKC80 or my Mitas E10 dakar have top speeds of 160km/u. If you do 200km/u for a long time on big bike knobby tires the knobbies will start flying off 😅

[@MichaelSmith-co1xs]

Mine does

[@HRJ1411]

Love mine!

[@lucasantos1231]

Love at fist sight 🥰

[@razvan-z2u]

What tyres u have ? This is mitas e-10?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yep Mitas E10 dakar tires :)

[@LanceLumbanPHI]

This is how you know a rider is good. They say they suck. Those who keep on saying you should have done this and done that, you don’t know how to ride, those guys have not met really good riders.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Trust me , i'm not that good i think. It's just a new challenge in life learning to ride on these big bikes. 😁

[@mortengammelgaard929]

Had a 2018… hated it. Poor wind protection and to much heat on the legs…. And all in all poor build quality. But the engine 🏄‍♂️😎👏

[@Terra-Moto]

Hey brother. Awesome channel! Happily SUBSCRIBED. I have a 2017 KTM 1290 SAR, and I'm currently in Central America on a Round the World tour. Heading to South American a few months. Let me know where you were located, and if you want to collaborate on some KZbin videos together. I have some ideas that might interest you. Thanks. All the best. Ascanio

[@LifeofSmokey]

I'm in Belgium 😁

[@peterwachtersaghy2723]

I have had a 990 adv,now a 1050. I never understood the heated seats. The rear cylinder produce heat like a nuclear reactor. In sommer time my eggs are cooked

[@MrCrazeDawg]

"foute boel" while going into bushes with 100+ xD

[@andrewhealy6182]

1) Is the KTM app compatible with Android?

[@Hanspeter4665î]

[@radoslawnowicki8488]

Better than super Duke r 1290 2021?? Pozdrawiam

nice bike but all those new sticking out ugly switches are meant to be broken soon.

[@daneav8]

BMW guy here (and previous Honda Kawasaki)....I have total respect for all the Orange bikes....I think they are bad ass. Love my GS Rallye too.... it has taken me many, many places. When it finally dies, a KTM is probably next in my garage. Oh, and to V VR below, my GS hasn't seen a hose in 4 years...looks better dirty...lol. Not all GS riders are Starbucks junkies ;) Great video and it definitely has peaked my curiosity.

[@DavidHaqiqat]

I need one of those motorcycles help me come to your country

[@Carlnewman68]

You make me want to sell my 2021 gsa rallye

[@cristiano69y]

En español por favor...... Por favor!!!!!

[@toltod]

KTM, you could rip off...I mean makes extra coin by offering a bubble glove box door for biggy phones. And also sell an improved turn signal switch. Oh, heck...I still want the bike anyways.
