Wow what a high quality video Paolo. I got to ride one during a TET trip this summer - What a machine! The engine was extremely powerful. I ultimately went with a Husky 701 enduro myself. Keep it up!

Excellent review. Wonderful drone video, tunes, & bike based videos. Waiting to see the Husky 701 for some positive changes. Thanks

Great video, with great drone shots to boot. The island of Crete owes you for promoting it, too! What an amazing island for moto lovers.

Good review and nice bike.. Nice music and drone made it feel up to date👍🏻

That’s an informative review! And it’s obviously a good bike, however, I still think most motorcycles after frontal crash still look better than KTM’s current adv bikes. Sorry to say that!

Collecting my first ever KTM tomorrow, so stoked! Thanks for the vid, makes my leap of faith with KTM so much more reassuring 👍

Beautifull bike, and no doubt that she must be a great one, but too much electronics for my personal taste. I would prefer a Teneré 700, a AJP PR7 or a V-strom. Fantastic video by the way! Keep up the excelent work!

Congrats for this nicely done video... amazing review, enjoyed a lot!. Amazing footage!

Great video Paolo! Keep them coming! Just picked up the 890 r!

Thanks for the vid 👍🏼 After riding the standard 890A for a day (and a full tank), I decided to go for the R because the suspension on the standard version is inadequate. I found the fuel consumption a little disappointing, but it's still good - I got 370 km to the 20L tank (but heard max. 450, realistic 400). Fuel gauges are not important, as going by distance it a perfectly good method. I'm happy with the screen adjustment design, as once chosen I've chosen s setting, I leave it. Normally mobile phones last a day without being charged, but if a top-up is necessary, charging safely under the seat is acceptable for me. There's too much good about this bike to ignore it.

Skills= 8/10, video= 10/10 Locations= 10/10, commentary = 9/10. Audio =5/10. Overall = awesome biker and motorcycle!

What an amazing review. Very professional from the visual point of view as well as technically. Subscribed.

I had to subscribe considering I'm interested in the 2023 version of this bike. Also, my last name is Cattaneo !! Cheers!

Very good! I’m looked for a lighter bike then my BMW 1200GS, I’m 72.

Totally agreed about the hazard lights. No idea why it's not included. I have a 790 and I would love to have them. I had to stop on the highway out of gas once and it was at night. I felt very vulnerable.

Hi Paolo, I loved your video which told me what I wanted to know. I bought exactly the same bike. I’m only 500 miles in but like it more than my ATAS DCT ES and GSA before that. It’s skinny and light compared to those and has a fun factor missing on the others, great bikes thought they both are. I’m 5’8” so no giant and the R is just too tall. The stock seat is dreadful and Ergo replacement less bad but certainly not comfortable. It needs bar risers for me too and lower pegs. The holy grail is the GSA position which was, for me, perfect. The quickshifter wasn’t great but adjusted by my local shop and very good now. The clutch is pretty light but for this money should be hydraulic like all the smaller KTM enduro/mx bikes. The brakes are good but not premium kit and, again, for this money Brembos should be fitted. This is a keeper so I’ll make it work for me. Next long ride is Slovenia later this year. That’s a 3,000 mile round trip so I’m keen to have it sorted before I go. Thanks for your help in my decision. Best, Ian

Very good video. Better than most. Thank you

Really wellmade film! Thank you sir!

Good vid mate. Nice footage. Informative:)

good review! Keep doing it, Keep safe✌

Awesome!

Great Video Paolo, Thanx for your time. I like this bike and considering to buy for some time. But the problem is I'm 5.5 small guy, I am not sure is it good for me ?? ( PS: I rode super sport bikes for many years) So this will be my first adv bike?

Beautifully shot and edited video. Congratulations! Keep making more. My friend and are debating if those are Wolfman, Tusk or some other brand of bags.

Ciao Paolo, ho appena scoperto il tuo canale e mi piacciono tantissimo i tuoi video, faro' in modo di recuperare quelli che mi sono perso! Ho notato al minuto 9:28 che la tua adv mostra un problema che anche la mia MY2021 ha e che mi irrita parecchio: a velocita' costante il contakm continua a balzare di +-1km/h (nel tuo caso 129-130-131) sai per caso se e' un comportamento normale? Ho iniziato a notarlo da quando mi hanno sostituito i dischi usciti storti di fabbrica, il meccanico dice che e' normale su questo modello ma non ci avevo mai fatto caso prima della sostituzione ed ho paura che sia successo qualcosa durante la sostituzione. Grazie mille!!

A+ review. When I test rode this bike about 2 months ago, I liked it very much but I got such a lot of dirty turbulent air from the screen onto my helmet buffeting my head so badly that unfortunately it was a deal breaker. I have never experienced anything like it on any bike. I was so disappointed. I am 5'7".

Beautiful review man. New sub added.

superb review of 890, thank you so MUCH!

Thanks for the great video! Do they fix the condensation of the dash now(or have you experience any)? I'm in UK and weather is miserable lol!! Also is the fuel gauge now accurate (I realise they say 1/2 now)? Thanks in advance

Nice to see Greece in your travel.

Nice review pal, thanks 🤟

Paolo - I really enjoyed your real world review of the 890 adventure. I was also impressed by the beautiful scenery you captured so nicely with your drone especially in the first half of the video. May I ask where you filmed theses scenes? Looks like a place that I should put on the list of places to visit 😎 thank you, Oliver

Um yeah thanks for solidifying my choice.

Great video man! The scenic shots are amazing too. I'm really interested in the bike. Could you please do a follow up video on the 890? I am mainly concerned about the reliability of the bike... Coming from Japanese bikes and (luckily) a reliable BMW. Hahaha. Thanks a lot!

Great video, all main points covered, thanks 👍👋

Bella! Prenderei la Adventure R version, mi piace di più.

Great video, do you find the front Avon runs out of rubber before the rear on the twistys

Nice video Paolo! We love this bike

Oleee!!! Que paisajes!!y gran moto! Vssss

Great review. I have the 2020 790 S. My riding is done in the American southwest in UT, NV and AZ. I'm only 5'10" and I felt like I had to put one inch (22mm) risers on mine after getting shoulder pain standing on the pegs for a 1/2 hour or more. I put Dunlop Trailmax tires on mine which are better off road than the Avon's but I also get slightly less MPG and triple digit (in MPH) speeds feel a little less secure than the Avon's. I bought the cruise control afterwards which I really like. Very precice and I can give my right hand a rest now and then. Again, great review. I'm wondering if I should sell my 2020 790 and get the 890 now.

grande paolino!!!! bella recensione

Hey Paulo Great video and review, A question if my may, I just got back from test riding the 890 adv s and find that above 120 i had very bad turbulence on my helmet I am 1.81M tall and has wondering how you find the screen. other than that loved the bike

👍🏻Thank you

Hello there! For couple of months now I am wandering about buying the KTM 890. The only problem I've had was that most of the videos are showing the R version in hard off-road, and S on the streets (without talking how capable it is on more difficult terrain). I don't want to jump over dessert dunes, and sliding 100kph on gravell roads. I just need a good travelling motorbike that can take me (plus often my wife as a pillion) ALMOST everywhere, and I can build upon and lern more difficult roads for next 5-10 years from now. This video shows 890 S should manage well. So, my only question is - if I say tomorrow: I will ride from Europe to Asia or Africa (plus pillion, minus hardcore offroad) KTM 890 S will do the job or the R version is a better choice for this kind of trip? [Just to be clear - for 8 years now I am travelling with my wife on my old Honda CBF 600 S which is a street bike. We love to get off the asphalt, there is where the adventure starts for us! But we are at the point where couple of times in Albania, Romania and Turkey we've had to back off because of suspension. So I've started to looking for something more off-road capable. We are looking something for the next 5-10 years of travell].

How is reliability on these bikes? Is anyone doing big touring miles on them? What’s your experience?

Great video, very illustrative and with all kinds of details. I really like the bike for its lightness and versatility, but I also really like the triumph tiger rally. Have you tried the triumph? How does it compare to the 890S?

Hiya. I have the same bike but I’m finding the side stand (in the up position) is getting in the way when I am standing up when off road. I ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs and my heels down (as instructed on courses) but this means my left heel is pushing down on the side stand which feels awful and could be dangerous. Do you have this same issue? And if so what have you done to prevent it?? Thanks. I did purchase bigger pegs but it hasn’t made too much difference really. I’m still catching the side stand with my left heel 🙀🙀. I’m absolutely loving the 890 though. Amazing bike. I have made mine look more like the R version with the same front fender as the R and other upgrades. I would also like to upgrade the WP suspension may be next year then it will be just the same as the R but at the moment whilst learning off road skills I’m happier being able to put most of both feet almost flat on the ground (I’m 5’11”). Thanks for the great video 👍🏼 safe riding 😁

Davvero un'ottima prova. Grazie.

Thank youuu 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Good review. Nice bike. Currently USD 14.100 in the USA

Hi Paolo, i like the video, well done. Lucky you live around these beautiful places. Quick one: my use is mainly on roads. Still, I like these adventure bikes for their confort and capacity to go far with few constraints. The question is: how far you can lean down with this bike before the front tire wipes out?

Great video, which racks and bags are you using please ?

Nice overview. It's interesting. You must be the only person to ever say the wind protection is good. The tyres are more like 95% street and 5% gravel. Remind me of the Metzeler Tourance fitted to my old G650x

ridiculous KTM policy making you to pay for Tech pack extra to have you cruise control button even work.

Good that KTM fixed many things with that version. Really sad, that it took the 790 for them to realize it had so many things to fix....

Great video! What soft bag do you have there?

Ciao Paolo. Ho la 890 S. Secondo te ha senso fare un upgrade delle sospensioni o meglio passare alla R? Il mio dubbio è che la R ha una corsa di 240 mm e un’inclinazione del cannotto diversa quindi credo che sia diversa da guidare. Tu l’hai mai provata? Grazie. Ciao

Great video, appreciate the points. Did you consider the Triumph 900 Rally Pro before picking up you KTM 890 Adventure R?

Thnx for the review! There were no technical problems in the 10000km?

Great review Paolo 😊

Ciao Paolo. La reputi una moto affidabile, robusta e confortevole per quanto la forcella non sia regolabile? Hai riscontrato problemi tecnici particolari? Che autonomia ha con un pieno di carburante ? Grazie anticipatamente, saluti.

I wish i could update my 990 adventure but I'm afraid of entering the ipad generation and ruining the electronic free experience, i really enjoyed your youtube but i hope my old bike gets me to retirement

# nice review, comprehensive and informative. Is this bike good enough and usually commuting friendly? drive daily to work in the city and also the highway( Commuting) and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational( actually only road) so, which one? Triumph Tiger, Yamaha tracer 9, BMW f900XR........ Any way great video Be safe.

I have a 790 and thought about trading it in on a 890. I have alot of accessories for the 790. Do you know are things interchangeable?? Like seat, top box, rade garage windshield

Nice informative review 👍🏻

Salve Paolo. Per favore dimmi qual è la tua altezza? E quanto ti senti a tuo agio sulla KTM 890 Adventure?

Good stuff 👍 I have seen like 50 reviews of the 790 and 890 adventure. All but 2 I think said they are 6 foot tall or larger 😂

Hola, yo también tengo una 890 Adventur y cada mañana que salgo la Pantalla TFT se empaña por los laterales de tal manera que no puedes ni leer los datos, lo comente con el concesionario y me dijeron que mandara fotos, que las mandarían al servicio de garantías de KTM España, pues bien la respuesta es que si no se llena de agua no afecta para que que lo cambien en garantía. Os ha pasado a algún otro propietario ?, por que creo que tiene que pasarle a todas, por la respuesta que me han dado. No estando nada satisfecho con el tema garantías he decidido comentarlo con toda la red, por si podemos hacer fuerza de algún tipo, ya que me es incomprensible que no solucionen este fallo.

Great video! Could you tell me what drone did you use for the drone shots?

Cool video dude !!!

I think you have drive in my favourite road's... Sfakia... And theriso.... I hope you've enjoyed..

The 890 adventure R is more better.is the best one.good luck

Come mai con la tua altezza non hai scelto una 890R, migliori sospensioni in offroad e sella a 880 mm. Ottima recensione, puoi dirci dove hai girato il video ???

If you had to choose, would you prefer one of the 790/890 variants or the current 1290 SAR or S?

Bravo Paolo complimenti!

I Currently own a Ktm 790 adventure R but i also have the original suspension (i bought an upgrade s model from the dealer. I’m really loving how it handles offroad (i do this occasionally during spring/summer on a track and in farmland with huge potholes etc..) But i wonder if the ‘s’ supsensions are enough.. If i sell the ‘r’ i can buy nice upgrade like a rally tower :p. And i’m only 1m75 so it might be better since i can’t touch the floor and sitting a bit cramped in lower seat position. Also been thinking about saving for an1290 adv SAR because i wanna do sole 2 up traveling with my GF but a bit scared of the weight since i don’t wanna give up offroad.. i think i need 2 bikes 😂

Great video, Paolo! Very professionally shot. I am just curious if this bike is any good for first bike after getting a license and for mainly touring?

Has your Gas Tank started cracking?

Bro how do you rate tiger 850 sport and 890 adventure base variant?

Hey! During the operation, what was the average fuel consumption and how was the dynamics enough for acceleration on the highway?

Stunning scenery and a truly fantastic bike. What's not to like?!

La vidéo est excellente !!

The real question is how do you travel the world for 6yrs?

Informative review, thanks!Awesome views! Where was it filmed?

I wonder how the reliabilty is. I ride a minimum 20,000 kms every year.

Seat is very high on spec. Sorry. But great bike.

but how does this engine compare to your v twin?

Mitico... Complimenti per il video... Hai riscontrato problemi alla moto? Come va nel complesso? Grazie

great review. I'm curious, why the S model over the R ? you seem like a tall dude who can handle it no problem. so why the S ? cheers :)

What kind of seat did you put on it?

bonjours quels sont la marques des valises merci d avances

I'm getting the R model

Is this the ktm 890 Adv R model or ktm 890 Adv model ?

How many miles do have on it now Paolo...

if at 46 secs he rolled right over the slope... 890 defined

Is that stock Windshield ?

Thanks for the great info. The music is annoying.

Que casco usas? Por favor 🔥👍👍👌

Perche parli solo inglese?

...beside the test: where are these fab coast-roads ( wow !) ??

a me quello che spaventa di questa marca rimane sempre l affidabilita ( cosa che mi ha confermato un meccanico che ha lavorato per 4 anni in ktm} . saluti.
