Me (64 years old) and my 69 yo friend are on the NMBDR now. Have hit lots of big loose rocky downhills. Scary, but doing pretty well. We are both new to dirt. Learn a lot.

I've found motorcycle luggage is like my wife's purse... the more space you have the more stuff you put in it to fill said space. I've been running my hobo setup of waterproof duffle and rok straps but am looking for a good reckless replacement. I've been eying the Mosko Moto rackless 40L or the Giant Loop 40L, the horseshoe shaped one. It's great to see you using what you already have for luggage. I've never had any before and am used to packing from my hiking and camping days.

Nice overview, thanks for showing us the bashplate and how soft it is. I had a thought that I should repla e it when it's done, like Yours.

Hello. I used the shortcut up and down keys to access the heated grips and drive modes with a single push of a button. Super easy to configure. And much quicker/easier to change when driving. Please do a review of the tire. I'm looking at those for my replacements. Cheers

Chaparral Motorsports has done some excellent reviews on them already, give them a watch. The Rall Z are good tires for off-road and on road but only last around 3k miles. The Tractionator Adventure version is a little less capable off-road but lasts twice as long at around 6k miles. Then the MotoZ GPS last around 12k miles but are more road biased.

Have a '23 KTM 890 Adv (non R due to my less than generous inseam). 9000+ reliable kms. Biggest issue I've had is getting OEM accessories as many are backordered without an availability time frame. I've spoken with KTM corporate who said it's supply chain issues.

You'll get plenty of beers and ice in that big silver cooler box on the rear rack. Cheers

Very good... the gps mount are now on my list.... I just sale my r1200gs ( I run 4 years) to buy this summer the ktm 890 adv ( 2023 standard one ) . The mosko moto backcountry panniers are the best ... I use them (35 L ) on the r1200gs, and I m gonna put this system on my new ktm, probably put the 25L this time.... ( I run all time solo, I don't need a lot) ... mosko moto The best and so user-friendly....

Thanks for the review! Are the barkbusters the tapered or non-tapered version that fit the bike?
Hey Dan, can you confirm on the windshield extension, they offer sizes Small, Med, Large. Is the one on your bike the Small like you link shows? Thanks, nice review!

I can confirm, small is what I purchased. Thanks for watching.

Dan, new to Adv R world , how tall are you? Bar risers? love to be comfortable standing up. Steering stabilizer? Love to hear your thoughts
@DansADV8 ай бұрын
6'1"... I use to do bar risers, but after watching some of Chris Birch and other off road coaches, I've adjusted my standing position rather than going the riser route. Chris Birch "Say no to Slow" is course is worth the money. I've not done a steering stabilizer, but I'm sure it would be helpful.

Ergonomics seem to be different for everyone. For me, better than stock, I like to move around. Just got back from the COBDR no regrets on seat choice
Two very different bikes... but if you like riding hard off road, the 890 will be way easier.

I hate the fully closed faring on the 2023. I prefer the open fairing look of the 2022. 890 enduro R It makes it look more like a real dirt bike.

I guess it's true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Of all the reviews I've seen and all the people I've ridden with, you're the first I've heard to like the looks of the 2022, more than the 2023. Both great bikes, thanks for watching and commenting.
