I have a 2011 KTM 990SMT, would never change to this newer model. I think the old LC8 V2 motor is far superior to this newer paralel 890 one. And if you're honest, so do you.

The V-Twin bikes from Ktm feel characterful while the parallel twins feel bland and boring, it’s quick & agile which is good but it would be one of those bikes I buy and most likely sell to buy a 1000cc super sport 😂

So it was you who I spotted at Motocare last Friday. The accent from de Kempen sounded familiar. So many beautiful KTM’s in that showroom. And they’re all a compromise. My adventure 890 is probably the ideal compromise for me, ride hard everywhere, but that SMT looks like a lot of fun. Well, choosing is losing…

@@janw4725I’m 6’2” and it is NOT a problem whatsoever. My dealer said the shorter screen was a complaint with original Norden owners. Of course off-road it could get in the way more as you’re more likely to hit it with face/helmet but I’ve done some jumping and haven’t hit it yet. Hope you grab one as I don’t think you’ll regret it. Enjoy whatever ya got! 👊🏽🏍️💨

@@janw4725 my pleasure Jan. I also think it’s incredibly sharp looking and I like the original Norden along with the 890s too. But when I saw the Expedition I was sold. Hope you get on one soon. I’m sure you’re aware but with the extras included over the original Norden and even stacked up against the 890 ADV R it’s an incredibly good deal. Just the upgrade in suspension is worth it but also the taller windscreen, heated seat and grip, much better skid plate, luggage and explorer mode included add up too a great deal. And it’s fancy blue topo color aren’t bad either. 🏍️💨

Hey smokey, still stoked on my 1290. What did you get for tires? I went with a motoz adventure tractionator for the rear and a dunlop trailmax mission for the front. Wont be mix and matching again !

In the next video I'm picking it back up and showing the tires. They are te Metzeler Karoo 4 😁. No personal preference , just a test. The Mitas E10 dakars had a top speed of 160km/u and didn't want that anymore. But now that I think about it , they are aggressive nobbies again so might still be 160 max 🙈😅

Are you sure about the need of going to abs after being charged the riding mode? I think they solve this, at the same time you change the mode the abs is changing as well
