Yep! I’d rather through enjoy and have the bike I want vs setting for anything else! And will do!

Gotta love coincidences like that! Ahah enjoy yours I’m loving mine!

Yea I was(still am) super stoked! Haha

Thanks man! I’m so happy with it!

Thanks!! And hope you enjoy it the new ones are SWEET!

Yes is it and thanks!

Still just as excited! Awesome machine!

You’re exactly right! I haven’t been this excited over a motorcycle I don’t think ever honestly 😅

Sweet! I might put a pipe on mine later on but for now I’m enjoying how quiet the exhaust is🤙

@@TheKernables I got the fmf installed and it sounds good. But I need to buy different turn signals because the air from the exhaust reflects off the right rear turn signal and it sounds pretty annoying. I’m thinking of just buying a tidy tail and putting Sicass racing flush mount smoked led turn signals. That’s the setup I had on my previous husqvarna and it worked beautifully.

Oooo no! That’s a hell of a “break in”😬

Thanks! And yea this thing’s AWEOME!

This one brought that out of me big time😁

@@TheKernables So shall it be pal, so shall it be. That's all what we can say..✊✊

Sweet! I’ve been wanting one for years now! Appreciate it!

I’ll be hitting y’all up for sure! I’ve been eyeing a few things y’all offer and on top of that I appreciate the endless videos and information on the 500! I even watched the entire owners manual video twice before getting my bike and that saved me from not getting all my spare parts!🤙

Yea I put a eBay light on mine but the stock 6days seat works good for me especially sense it just get treated like a dirt bike now😅

Thank you!

Yea she tells lies sometimes 😅

I’ve put a little over 300 miles on mine now and I’ve gotta say that my list of complaints is VERY small! Great bike for sure!

@@TheKernables that’s why I usually look for used bikes that don’t have a bunch of miles because new bikes have so many added cost like freight and them having to put the bike together which starts making the price skyrocket. But a brand new bike always feels good because you’re the only person to have done anything to the bike. It can also be like the saying “you never want to meet your hero because they often fail to fulfill one's expectations, resulting in disappointment”. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

I’ve done zero research on model year specifics and I just know KTM makes every new generation batter so always buy the newest model. This was bought pretty spontaneously because I just requested a quote and got a call the next day that they had this on with a $1,500 rebate so I just jumped on it. Idk what’s better about the next one but what I do know is that this one has 10000x better suspension than the 1290 so I wouldn’t know any better 😁 Also add that the only true Dirtbike’s I’ve ever had was a XR80 when I was a kid, a TTR230 that I bought after I graduated and a Yz85 that I had for a short period so this bike is without a doubt WORLDS better than anything I’ve ever owned🤙

@@TheKernables amen!

Dang it, did I really mess that up😅

I seen those and didn’t even realize they were plated also. What’s the difference between that and the 500 besides 50cc?

It was just overfilled. Almost a year later and it hasn’t lost a drop more🤙

I’m so pumped! I thought the scoot was gonna keep me satisfied but I need my excitement! Haha I’m breaking it in properly 🤪😎

@@TheKernables Like Ronnie Mac says, if your butthole ain't puckering you're not doing it right!

😁😁 The 350 is the bike that I rode and it set the ball rolling towards picking this one up. So much lighter and so much more FUN!

@The Kernables if we had closer trails I'd still have it. Ended up trading that on the 1290 for long range adventures.

@@obsessivehobbies5464 I’m gonna start pulling a trailer but we’re also just burned out from riding the same BORING 1.5-2 hour sections of 2 lanes to get to the trails. Also the ride back was always a major drag so hoping in the Jeep and flicking the AC on will make the ride back from a rough day allot more enjoyable😁

Im gonna run the stock tires for a little while longer just to see how capable stock is🤙

Look at the dunlop d606 I got it in my bike

I agree!

You sound like me! And from my personal experience you’ll need two bikes to do what you want. Good for commuting usually sucks off road and great off road sucks for commuting. If you live really close to work you could commute on the 500 but I personally wouldn’t do it. I feel like the 500 should be enjoyed at its fullest and not burned down running though the day to day. But then again I too a 1290 all kinds of places so a 901/890 setup might work perfect for you, if you can tolerate the weight off road🤙

Take this from a guy that owned a 690 same as the 701 it is not a road bike it’s not a dirt bike it’s so confused it doesn’t do either very well I bought it believing it to be a unicorn and was not I have my cr500 for off road and have a ktm 990 for commuting and adventure riding and I absolutely love the bike getting ready to leave now to go get new tires and ride the rest of the weekend

@@karlbakeriii7415 As an owner of multiple 500s and now a 701, you're correct. That's why my 701 is a SM. It pegs it a little further into the street category, which is appropriate for the extra 80lbs it carries over the 500. Dirt roads are fine, not great. It would never satisfy as a "do it all," if you take riding seriously.

@@gophop you are so correct I live by some big mountains 8-10,000 feet with awesome curvy roads and the 690-701 platforms are superb super Moto very fun and give the sport bike guys headaches lol they carve

6’1”🤙

@@TheKernables thank you! you look taller. maybe being proud of getting the dream lol.. (for anyone interested how they'd look like on top of it, in non-retarded units its 185 cm!)

😁

I mean I kinda like them. It’s a mechanical feel that’s fun😅

Not quite that tall but lucky to be tall enough🤙

I’m not opposed to getting a 500RR-S next. They look sweet and apparently there more uncorked and less restricted from the factory but I do love my pumpkins😅

Betta have an extra wiring harness.

Too much bike?! Check out our other videos and see what I’m coming from😅

Have you ever rode a 500? Lol. They are very mild and only a few pounds more than a race 450. I enduro mine and track it. It's an amazing do it all bike.

@@vegasrider05 it’s all these dual sport reviews. It might be a monster in the world of dual sports but compared to actual Dirtbike’s…. it’s a 250 😅

@The Kernables if that. The Torque is unreal but the hit it smooth. It's such a usable power. De-smog and pull off all the blinkers and shit and its 100% a dirtbike. It's miles better offroad compared to my 2016 honda 450R.

@@vegasrider05 you’ll be selling it.

Word🤙

That seems extremely small but that might be 16 per state maybe?

😁😁
