Thanks ✌️

Good catch! His elbows were outside till he start giving throttle to start skidding so maybe it was just a mistake but also maybe he did it while trying to weight more inside of the bike to help skidding. It's a heavy bike though must be hard to skid like that.

I wouldn't got to this for a first time adventure if you have a dirt background. You need something smaller because you'll always be looking and wanting to go on those tighter trails.

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV oh don't worry I have a 350 exc-f for the single track stuff. Got the 1190 adv r for the long haul and less technical riding. At least till I get more comfortable on the big bike. I live in the north east of the USA so if I want to go out west and ride I have to trailer the 350, just can't deal with service intervals and maintenance trying to ride 2000-3000 miles one way to ride out west. So the big adventure is perfect for long trips if I don't want to trailer.

Next training series in January 2017

+Carl Michael It was a KTM event where riders with those bike were invited. Similar to what BMW and Yamaha do in various countries through out the world.

+TurdBucket I've interviewed a number of long term riders and those interviews will be posted soon. Including one guy that has ridden half way around the world.

Thanks, can't wait to see!

+TurdBucket Bought the bike last year and done 19k in 10 months, 9k from it was done in 5 weeks during our travelling. No issues so far. It's a great bike for touring + dirt roads, lots of fun. The only downside is back tyre. Because of the power and fun factor the thread is disappearing quite fast :)...

+TurdBucket A german fellow Martin Leonhardt has been riding the 1190 ADVR for 2 years now all across South America (wow, 2 years travelling). He's to my knowledge one of the few non KTM-sponsored riders who put some permanent abuse to the bike. He had his share of troubles, but I think that the BMW, Tiger, etc would have had just as many problems. If you want reliability, less is more. Don't go for the latest model, but rather for a bike that has been on the market for a few years (known to the mecanics and the community), as little electronics as possible and if which can be self-serviced as much as possible (i.e. Yamaha Tenere XT660Z). The 1190 ADVR is a great bike, but I wouldnt choose it if I had to depend on it (neither would I go for a BMW, Tiger, etc.)

+TurdBucket They have a reputation for killing fuel pumps, too. I was just reading a review last night where a guy rode San Francisco to North Carolina/Georgia and it literally died as he rolled into his friends beach house driveway. 3000 miles on a new bike, pretty weaksauce. Not something you'd want to take on a honest to god adventure across a deserted area. I've ridden my Multi on the road with these bikes, they seem great, but all the shit that goes wrong with them is a bummer.

If you're a learnerYES YES. If you can ride and stand on the pegs and go hard. No No No.

Thank you for the quick reply sir!

They're built to be dropped, a few low speed tumbles in the dirt shouldn't hurt them
