Utah adventure ride - Part II - One week with the Kove 450

In part II we continue on our journey after just finishing some grueling hot single track. The views just keep getting better and better too! At the end of the day we found a great place on a plateau surrounded by wilderness to set up camp and do some cooking and some good fellowship. It was a great 1st day!

So beautiful, I guess Utah is more than just dirt hills. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Fantastic video, nice editing, including the music, which I enjoyed,...keep doing what you you're doing. Subcribed.

[@LCARSADV]

Thanks brother! Utah is just amazing and the colors and landscapes are second to none. It's got everything. Thanks!

[@jimswms]

When I rode the TAT last year, I thought Colorado would be incredible, and it was, but Utah completely blew my mind. Maybe, because I wasn't expecting it to be so great

Great video man 😊greetings from Ireland, i am considering a kove 450 (when they become available) would you recommend it?

[@LCARSADV]

Thank you! You guys are the best :) Yes I would recommend it if you want a true dual sport or ADV bike. It does everything well! Check out my review video. It's a very special bike and I expect the industry to catch up to it at some point IMO

[@skulijakobsson5116]

Much Enjoyment 👍😎

[@mikedall9527]

Thankyou. That was fantastic. Much respect for your riding skills. Seems like the Kove 450 is indeed a cracking bike? What are your overall thoughts about it?

[@LCARSADV]

Thanks! I honestly think it's a do-all unicorn adv bike. Great off road and on road!

[@AceCarleton]

I would love to know more about your luggage set up and how youre mounting it on the kove.

[@LCARSADV]

Pretty sure it was this one www.westwindmoto.com/products/enduro-40-kit It was a solid kit and fit everything I needed for camping. You could go with a Tusk highlander as well. Rackless is the best way to go IMO

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

I’ve been thinking about getting a Kove 450 for longer trips and using my Husqvarna fe350s for 1-2 day local trips. I want to ride one so bad but with most reviews people seem to really like them. It’s either a Kove 450 or Tenere 700…

[@LCARSADV]

I haven’t ridden the tenere but I know it’s gonna be more powerful just because of engine size. I think I’d rather save the money and get Kove myself. But Yamaha makes a good bike! I’m sure if you find a Kove guy in your area he’d let you try it.

[@inrptn]

I love Utah. U of U grad. Living in AZ now, but thinking about moving back someday. Part 3?

[@LCARSADV]

I would move out there in a second! Part 3 inbound very soon!

Nice video;question how would you compare the Kove to the KTM 390 adv. ?

[@LCARSADV]

I’ve gotten this question a lot and I plan to do a video eventually. If I had to pick one I’d pick the Kove if I did more off road. The 390 is smoother and a little better on the road I guess. But the Kove just does everything well.

[@mennonitemoto5941]

How do you feel about your right foot position? That exhaust is totally in way for my heel, I like my toes on pegs and heel dropped a little

[@LCARSADV]

The foot position felt completely natural to me similar to a dirt bike, which I loved

[@mennonitemoto5941]

@@LCARSADV maybe this one I tried in china is set up differently?

[@OffRoadADVRide]

nice video and great view at the top, is it the BDR track?

[@LCARSADV]

Thanks. To be honest I’m Not sure, I don’t think so. There are endless trails in Utah but it’s all really the Wasatch mountain range from salt lake and the headed south. We were kinda bushwhacking with no planned route, just picking trails off of the gps that headed in a general direction.

[@OffRoadADVRide]

@@LCARSADV thanks, no restriction, you can use any trail available?

[@LCARSADV]

@@OffRoadADVRide yes Utah is an off road paradise . You go wherever you want for the most part.

[@OffRoadADVRide]

@@LCARSADV GREAT NEWS, I should come one day...renting somewhere in Salt lake and ride in the mountains, all what i love !

[@desertjas]

Going South you'll fine a large variety of open roads & trails. But there is private property, so you'll need to use an app or known routes to avoid problems. From Utah County (Kove shop) North, there is more private property and forest ground that you'll need to navigate correctly. @@OffRoadADVRide

FINALLY!!! I've got my TSE300R on order!!! I'll be selling my FSE250E....as per the boss (wife).

[@LCARSADV]

lol yeah the dark lord made me sell my 250e as well, soon to be ex dark lord, would rather have had the bike lol. Congrats on the 300 you’ll love it!

@@LCARSADV Not a smart move, her lawyer can use your public comments in court against you.

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

When was this recorded? Surprised it's still "hot". How has the overall reliability been on the Kove? Facebook groups seem to mention little to no problems!

[@LCARSADV]

This was from late July, it was 100 degrees in salt lake lol. I haven’t heard about any problems yet which is really saying something.

[@ogasi1798]

i have n ow seen a kove with 5k miles on the clock moving throughout europeland, zero issues and it's been through the shit day after day - many others doing similar but that is the highest mileage for me so far

[@LCARSADV]

@@ogasi1798 the tested the crap out of these bikes for a long time, the one I rode was definitely beat on by every demo rider for months

[@ogasi1798]

@@LCARSADV yeah it's nice to hear from someone who has had them, i keep looking at the 450 to go next to my 500 exc but to be used more as a journey machine, that said i do love the idea of the rally for the same job, keep saving cash and see what happens in 2024 🙂

[@gullintanni]

Can I ride this on A2 license?

[@LCARSADV]

I don’t know what that is, sorry. I’m from NY

[@EverydayBronco-dh8hs]

your background music is annoying. I rather just hear the narration no background music.

[@LCARSADV]

It’s literally a minute, you took the time to write a lousy negative comment like that for a free video meant to help people? Wow.

[@briangc1972]

@@LCARSADV Instead of getting upset, take the criticism without getting your feelings hurt. You make money by views and subscribers. When a viewer, aka customer, says the music is annoying, then don't use the music in future videos. That is how you grow your fan base and make more money. Itchy Boots has one of the popular channels and she always takes criticisms with grace and she makes her channel better.

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

If you don’t like the music then make your own videos. I love people who criticize people like this but they’re too lazy to go do their own thing so they bitch and moan.

[@briangc1972]

@@TaterGrabbinBass Too bad you are not mature enough to accept constructive criticism, you will limit your own success because of it. An old Proverb states "A fool hates correction" and "A wise man loves rebuke"
