DO not BUY!! One of the WOLDS most Unreliable bikes on the planet…Buyer beware…OR maybe I just got the Lemon out of the bunch !!!
And the cams will shit the bed at 11000 miles !!!
nobody pronounces the name right, not even the dealers. If you can't handle the wrath of the Harley riders' comments, don't ride with. How much of Harleys are made in America now? lol.
niceeee!
Once the T7 World Raid in available in the US KTM will sell 50% less 890/790/Norden bikes than they are right now. The T7 has already taken a chunk of their business (as do all the others on the market now), the World Raid will hit them even harder in the US market. I am a KTM fan (PM), I have two (1290 SAR & TE150i) , but man do they suck as some things. I had the LC8C, and would not do it again, if I needed a mid-weight ADV, its a T7, hands down. Maybe the world raid will be here if that time comes to make that decision.
Where's the Beef? No Fuel Gauge? Maybe at $5K.
Honestly a steal of a price for anyone that loves by there
I’m 72 years old and love the foot position. I have abs model. Just looking for a windshield
Eliminator is not a terminator 😂
Overhead cam or overhead scam , try getting warranty from a lying , scheming company like KTM
I know there is a lot of negativity around KTM right now regarding the 790/890 cams… and it’s definitely hurting KTM’s reputation. However, I just got back from doing the Washington BDR & Oregon BDR on my 890 Adventure R… there is not one single bike in production today that I would rather do that trip on. I have my bike being looked at as I write this regarding the cams. I believe that KTM is on the verge of issuing a recall. We are seeing several service bulletins addressing the reimbursement of customers who’ve experienced this failure.
Nice review, the first thing I would do is add a slip-on too. The Thunderstroke 116 is a fantastic platform!
Get it! 🤙

Is it difficult to change 5he oil and oil filter? Any problems with the machine? Thanks
It's a fun bike.
Get Ivan to flash the ECU…makes the Vulcan 1700 a much better bike to ride…
Yes it's a very nice bike with a superb suspension, however until KTM and their shareholder overlords address not only the typical KTM reliability issues but also fully take on the shitty camshaft failures that some customers of these very "premium" priced motorcycles must endure, the brand will be tarnished. The Pierer Mobility group refuse to admit culpability amongst their recent financial dilemma which would more than likely put them even further in the red. There is no excuse for a cam or cam follower failure with the technology we have these days. It's either a metallurgical issue or it's an oiling issue, either way it shouldn't be happening. The LC8C engine has a problem and as an owner of one, I think about it every time I hit the starter button. I wonder if it will start, I wonder if it will strand me far from home, I wonder where the closest dealer is at all times. That's just the mechanical side, we also must address the other elephant in the room ... The infamous KTM electronic glitches that also leave many stranded . Weather it's a fairly new bike with a faulty battery or an immobilizer for some every mile is a roll of the dice. How about having a 450 ish pound "premium" bike with shitty ball bearings in the steering neck instead of industry standard tapered roller bearings. The LC8C Chineesium engine made by CF Moto is a classic example of trying to appease shareholders while not valuing the loyal customer base. I am not a KTM hater, being the owner of my second Norden 901 ( now an Expedition ) and the previous owner of a few KTM's I can honestly say the juice is not worth the squeeze until the corporation starts putting value in my loyalty. So yes KTM will heavily discount the leftovers to make room for the next crop of over priced units, I say don't spend the extra money on this bike, buy the Adventure r and save the difference for when the cams take a shit.
@@SPENJERE I completely understand the frustration regarding this topic and I do believe that KTM is on the verge of taking full responsibility for it. At the dealership level we are seeing Service bulletins that are explaining how to go about reimbursing customers who have experienced this problem. I have my bike in the shop as I write this getting an early inspection done (trying to stay out ahead of it. I just got back from doing the Oregon and Washington BDR’s back to back. There is no doubt an issue regarding cams and it is tarnishing reputation for sure…. All that being said, there is no other adventure bike that I would choose over a KTM to attack off-road terrain. I appreciate your well thought out comments and wish you nothing but the best brother 😎🤙
@@Work2Liv_Liv2Ride welltoday I just did the fifth oil change on my 901, that’s 10,252 miles for five oil changes. And I’m still picking what looks to be Ferous based particles almost like threads off the magnets. It has to be a manufacturing issue on these engines. It’s just too bad they have gone with a Chinese company, I would’ve gladly paid even more for the very overpriced 901 expedition to have a little more peace of mind.
Bravo for your superb comments on this matter. You addressed all the exact issues that are ruining KTM'S reputation. I for one have been on the edge to pull the trigger on a Norden Expedition, but have been on hold for all the reasons you mentioned here. I keep putting it off till "next" year and wait and see. However, this Chinese partnership with CF is turning out to be a monumental disaster of which KTM is unlikely to recover. Again very well written comment and I along with many other KTM fans appreciate very much. KTM should listen to this man. 👍
Ive got a 2024 RALLY , it's brand new and not even run-in yet.., and apart from me already buying a whole complete replacement top-end (including camshafts etc) as a backup to avoid the lengthy 3-4 month wait for parts (in case my bikes camshafts failed on a RTW trip) .., This bikes already failed me, before Ive left for my trip. Currently my bike is at KTM , because it is DEAD with a red immobiliser fault banner displayed on the TFT , everything has been checked , (computer / imobiliser / fuses / etc ) and all KTM's computer so far can list is an EARTH FAULT, the search for the fault continues. Im not having a rant, it is what it is, the KTM team have been great and are doing their best to fix it for me, and i don't fault them in any way. In hindsight though, I wished I never bought this bike, unfortunatly I did so before i knew about the camshaft problem., so I now have to 'suck it up and run with it'
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Front Windshield for your 2023 polaris General XP 1000
@@StarknightMT_official Thanks for asking, I would need more info before I could make that decision… send me an email Jake.weidenbach@nashpowersports.com
Thanks for doing a review on a 600 there more review on 900 on utube, no love for the 600 I got one in April same features on a 2023 having a good time riding my 600 🤙🤙
Thank you! I will admit that I have poked fun at these in the past, but I genuinely had fun on it and I have no problem saying that.
Get it tuned it a whole different bike.
I have a 2021 600 and Love it
Not a Japanese engine, it’s made in China. It’s a copy of the Kawasaki 650.
I like this bike so much...
Nice bike. I have a blue 2005 FJR1300 ABS that I picked up for 3K with 62K miles. I'm 68 and love it! BTW I have a channel here and if you want it to grow you need to do quite a few things to get YT to promote it. One thing I would recommend to you is add more 2 to 5 keyword groups to your channel tags and add video tags that will match some of the first 200 characters in your description. (Keyword total should be in the 470ish total characters max) Your uploaded video file name should have some keywords in it too! Ken in So, CA Subscribed : )
@@ParkMetalDetecting Thank you for the advice! I’m hoping tor continues improvement.
Had an Indian Scout pull up next to me at a stop light. Gotta love the LOUD aftermarket pipes. NOT!
Has it vibration
You can adjust the foot pegs position, Fold the foot peg up and then move forward or backwards 💪🏻😎
Yes, I found that out after making this video 🤣 Actually quite a bit of adjustability… I’ve never liked the feet forward thing.
That's not review. It's a video from a salesperson.
@@patricemunger2942 Have you ridden this bike? Did I say anything that is not true about it?
@@Work2Liv_Liv2Ride Hi, I own one and when using proper tires, it can follow any T7. Actually, my friend has a T7 and I often have to wait for him. Same thing withe Africa Twin in offroad usage. The gravity center is alot better on the 800 DE than the T7. What you said about the skid plate and handguard is true.
Awesome video,can you review the Spyders?
@@biged3ff149 I will be doing a Spyder review within the next 5-6 weeks. We carry 7 product lines here at Nash… I will also be reviewing the new Adventure 3 wheeler (The Canyon) when we get it. Thanks for the feedback 🤙
Fun to ride. Just don't tell the motorcyclists! 😂😂😂
This review made me confident buying something other than this
@@ADVEnthusiastDad Interesting, well… hope you enjoy whatever machine you do get 🤙
They're actually in the vicinity of 80-82hp and 115ft lbs at the wheel
@wheels?? 😳🤯
@@Jacob99174 /sigh *_[walks away refusing to explain]_*
@@shrugger1lol impressive output
Good price
I have to pitch in here since I've been riding on this beauty for over two months now. Recall has been resolved very quickly for me since I am using it for work commute, which means I got brand new aftermarket tire that is covered by Suzuki + I'll be getting new tires that are going to be new "OE" Tire for free as well once that is resolved. I went for Michelin Anakee Adventure tire. This bike is absolute beast, I've used "B" Mode for riding for awhile till I broke in first 500 miles, then once I was able to rev in till 7k RPM, that A mode is like using Nitrous on a car. This bike is FAST, and so much fun around twisties. Brakes are amazing, which brings me to suspension issue that I've noticed - when braking hard forks drop down a lot and gets this clunk that seems like they bottomed out - which they did not? Weird issue, but after that first hard break, it doesn't happen again. Which makes me think that I need to adjust the front suspension just a notch so it's not as soft. Out of all things, I bought this bike cuz I am very tall and heavy man and this bike is the most comfortable bike out there (CFMoto ibex800 would be second on the list). I've bought directly from Italy GIVI Airflow Windscreen and now Highway riding is a breeze instead of wind slapping contest. And lastly, I love how quit the exhaust is at cruising speed so that my Tinnitus doesn't get worse and worse. (Yes I am using earplugs as well). Overall, I've tried 6/7 different bikes, and this is 100% the best bike on the market in ADV segment. If you want to do serious mudtrails and sand, get yourself proper light bike for that. So yeah, Tenere is not even a second option, Transalp would take that spot!
I agree with you that this is a fantastic motorcycle, but best bike in the segment is a bold statement. If your version of adventure is mostly road and occasional gravel... than yes, it's one of the best options for that. If your adventures are more off-road oriented (like mine are) I'm choosing my KTM 890 R or the T7 :)
A proper mile muncher. Looks great. It was always so.
인디언 보호구역 , 인디언 바이크 좋아요
any word on when the tire recall will be resolved? I tried to buy one of these last week, but I was told they can't sell any of the 800 DE models due to the tire recall. I was hoping they could just swap the tires as that would be the logical solution. But they said they couldn't do anything until Suzuki issues an official service bulletin detailing the fix. Seems pretty silly to me since that's ultimately going to be the resolution anyway. But I guess I'm not a lawyer.... Just a guy that really wants this bike :(
@@thedigitalnothing I totally understand your frustration with this, but the dealership does have to wait until Suzuki officially has a resolution. Otherwise, the dealership is paying for the tire. Sounds lame to a customer… I totally get it, but trust me when I say that the margins are tiny on motorcycle (10%) in most cases. I’m thinking it should not be more than another week or two.
Love the review location and video quality! :)
@@lucaambrosini9708 Thank you! I try not to just be in a parking lot or always in the same spot…. I enjoy doing this and hope to steadily improve my production quality.
I got this bike and I love it
That’s a deal for the money! I have a 2021 and love it.
It is a great motorcycle. It has all i wanted in a bike.
Did you enjoy this or the super tenere more?
On the street the HD is fast and fun... I enjoyed it quite a bit and I think Harley did a great job coming into a segment that they've never played in before. That being said it would still not make the Top 5 Adventure bikes that I would actually buy. To answer your question... The Harley is cooler, but I would be more inclined to buy the Super Tenere because it's half the price and more set up for what I want to do on a bike.
thank you
With the crash bars the bike is real easy to pick up. ....... you will be amazed,
Good running rig.
Out of all the ugly largish capacity Adventure Bikes currently on the market the Suzuki looks not too bad.
I didn't like it when I first saw it... It's definitely grown on me though
@@Work2Liv_Liv2Ride most of them look kick ass if you ask me, especially the Tenere and this one.
I’m so torn between a chief sport or a low rider s.
Always the Indian. Just Always The difference in ride quality alone is huge.
Yes, most people need to change the handlebars. It will cost you about $1000 to do that, including labor. Indian seems to make sure that about 90% of riders will need to spend $1K before they are able to ride the bike for more than 30 minutes. Great strategy Indian! Thanks for nothing.
That’s why there is 4 or 5 different chief models to choose from. I don’t know all of them off the top of my head. But chief bobber offers mini apes stock and super chief has a relaxed handle bar position. Different strokes for different folks. Get the right bike for you and you won’t have to complain. You could buy a Honda grom , I’m pretty sure they fit most people without changing the handle bar
IMO, the most underrated large displacement ADV on the market. All that torque hits super low in the rev range, and I always enjoyed short shifting it. It munches miles, and is surprisingly agile in the twisties. I'm 5'-9" and 160 lbs, and had no issues with the heavier bike weight. Shaft drive and cruise control are godsends on extended rides.
sawiki speed 2 in 1 and stage 2 cams with a good tune and you have a absolute monster.
