I got invited by KTM to help them organize the official launch for the new 2023 KTM 890 Adventure and so, I got a unique opportunity to try this bike before everyone else!
Its not a very in-depth review, more like a list of the new upates and a general overview of the bike. Later I might return to this incredible adventure bike and explore it a bit better :D

Cool review, I can really relate to the opinion on what the beauty is in the 780/890 range, the functionality, engineered and less compromises. Not really the look, but the 2023 looks alot better from the flank. I liked that You demonstrated how it feels to lean and lift, this is something that really sticks out among the top-heavy "competitors". Happy new and shining Trails out there!

Very helpful insights on the bike! I've been eyeing the 901, and the changes KTM made seem to come from the 901, with bigger fairings. The KTM still looks slimmer, but since you've ridden both can you comment on if the bike feels slimmer, and if there are any riding position changes that affect the ergos you praised?

Same. The 790/890 are not known to be the most reliable bikes. And i don't like that KTM fits all the electronics on this bike by standard and then the customer can either buy them or not. And if he/she decides not to buy them, technically it's all still there, just disabled via software..

@khakimzhanmiras Жыл бұрын

the 990 has some issues, is difficult to service, and starts to feel loose as the mileage piles up. I’m not expecting BMW or Honda quality, but it seems the overall reliability became worse on the newer models. Also separately purchasing software for hardware that’s already on the bike is a big red flag in my book.

Highly interesting video and first impression! In the market for potential down-scaling from a 2019 1290SAS that has served me remarkably well for >55.000 kilometers. Minus one niggle dealt with under warranty (starter clutch) it's been brilliant. Didn't fancy or like the 2022 890. And not only because of its mantis appearance. This however, looks like something. It strikes me KTM might finally have brought back some design lines from 990. Looking forwards to updates!

The 901 is a slightly more comfort oriented bike, and the R is a slightly lighter bike with better suspensions. I guess if you focus on offroas (and know how to ride fast and hard) the 890R could be a better choice. I was quite happy with the 901 honestly, but extremelly curious for the 890r

I did finally buy one here in Virginia at the end of March and 1 week later I passed 620 miles so I changed the oil (Motorex 10W-50 4T) and filters and screens myself and rode it for another 6 days exploring higher engine speeds before my appointment with my local KTM dealer for the remainder of the official 620 mile service. The dealer said he loaded 3 different software updates. One included engine management. I have noticed two things since then - the engine is amazingly strong past 6200RPM, absolutely ready to race, and the quick-shifter is now considerably smoother than before the tune up, so all is good!

Since you've done this review I've had Harley take back the Pan America because it was too unreliable. They had a 2018 KTM 1290 SA-R that I got but kinda knew it would be a bit too large for me. It was. So I have a 2022 890 Adventure S model. I love the bike it is so much fun to ride. I've had two issues, the screen going completely black on a ride. When I fueled up it came back on. The TFT display also gets the condensation in side that other KTM owners have complained of. It goes away as well but I assume that moisture inside the electronic dash is not good. Other than that I love the bike and I've heard that the 2023 version's dash is improved along with a better suspension.

@@lefterisbampaidis5446 I had the problem on my 2019 790 - the tank was white inside and the pump filter element was completely blocked. I took the pump out (super easy to do) removed the filter screen, cleaned it - and the tank (I did not trust the dealer to do it properly and they are 120ks away) and never a problem since. Should have only needed to be done (or replaced) once. Obviously the tank was not cleaned out properly.

Much better than the old 790/890, those bikes never looked right,looked like they should have come with 19/17" wheels, and should have kept the big wheels for the 'R' model. Shame there isn't a base model without all the electronic garbage, probably the reason they keep the 690 simple,have that as their RTW bike(albeit,dodgy fuel pumps)? Still no fan of the h'lamp design, hope Rade Garage build a conversion once again, a vast improvement on looks? KTM were still trying to sell 2020 model 790's here,1 or 2 still available, so maybe a 2022 890 might get really cheap now(£7499 for a 790),I'll need to watch the marketplace! Good review, just do not ask me to repeat your name! :)

It looks better. Not great, but it's tolerable now. If KTM allows me to have a test ride, I may consider one.

I never liked the looks. Then I rode one off-road. I am relatively unskilled still but what a weapon. The weight distribution, adjustable traction and throttle response are fantastic. I'd love the new 890 apart from the showroom cost, but seriously looking for 790 adventure r second-hand.

@@rickvann3489 I do most of my riding on road, but want a bike that is more off road capable than my full size Pan America was. I rented a T7 and found it to be underwhelming on the street. The Tuareg is a bit better but the 890 would definitely have the advantage.

@David Malphurs from what I have seen the Pan America is more off road capable then all the big bikes, of course the professional riders are riding and jumping and doing insane off road riding on them. How you like THE PAM

That bike looks and sounds fantastic and I'm sure that it will set up your tent and cook dinner for you when you arrive at your camping destination. How on earth can they release bikes for a test review without windscreens? Surprisingly and suspiciously incompetent for such a major bike manufacturer! If you're buying one of these bikes within the first year after their release, you're doing KTM's product testing for them.
