For the decat, check engine light error issue just add this ua-cam.com/video/VZdlDSGcmU8/v-deo.html. There's also a fueldongle euro 5+ which does the same (just google)

For me my big ADV bikes are my "street bikes". I have the most fun on them on pavement because of the power, twisty canyon type roads, and being a supergoon on fast dirt. I've ridden across the continent and back on them several times over the past few years. It's key to have the ability to get away from "the grid" and just disappear out a logging road at the end of a pavement day for the night. That's why I don't own any real street bikes. If I want to ride real off-road I'm just loading up the enduro bikes and the camper so we can be half way comfortable for the entire trip and get a good night's sleep every night, and have 1000x more fun than I do wrestling a 400lb+ "off road bike". I feel like there's just a massive amount of confusion around what people think they want in a motorcycle and what manufacturers are pushing with their marketing campaigns. I've owned and sold some of these super cool "mid-weight adventure bikes" and I find them to be kind of pointless. They're too uncomfortable and/or under-powered on pavement, and off-road they're still 200lbs+ too heavy to be any fun unless you're a demented and extremely talented retired professional hard enduro racer. If they're not fun, what's the point of owning them? It's not like they're practical. Traveling across the country in a $4000 toyota camry would be a far superior experience of getting from point A to point B lol. No soreness, no exposure to terrible weather and torturous temperatures, lay the seat back and sleep for the night literally anywhere, bring all the luxury camping gear you could want, eat, drink, coffee while you drive instead of sitting around wasting good travel time, only stop for gas twice a day instead of 6 times, bring a companion to share the adventure, etc. I love big ADV bikes, but not as much as I love enduro bikes!

1190 kick ass bike or 1290

Great video, thanks! What were the reasons you sold your Ducati V4 Rally? I own one, made 35'000 kilometers in one year with it and I'm still not tired of it!

Those big adventure bikes are good road bikes. If you need to get off a gravel graded road, buy a real dirtbike.

All good points. My big bike is the 1290 S and it's plenty capable to do the fast flowy stuff like you mentioned although I still need to get spoked wheels on it to handle the rocky parts without doing damage. The more difficult the ride the smaller, lighter bike I take. They all have their place and strengths. Are you able to get out now at all on the west slope? I'm central Colorado and can't even get down my driveway at the moment living at 8600 feet.

That GS HP you have or had is the best GS ever produced… I regret trading it in fora GSA Trophy… Don’t get me wrong I like the GSA but with the baby GS Id be really stupid cause of the lesser weight. The big GSA is more for a somewhat sensible rider with some experience like myself. I would NEVER buy a 150+ HP motorcycle cause simply I don’t see the reason to own something that powerful. Theres people that would ride a Hayabusa off toad with some mods🤣🤣 Nice video boss 🫡🇺🇸🌵

I went to the website to look at the products and wondered if I’m doing something wrong. Everything is listed at $1. When I looked at the riding pants description it seemed to be the description for a fleece jogger?Im really interested in the concept and want to learn more about your offerings.

I am in the market for a Ducati Rally or a GS, prefer the looks and feel of the Ducati. Since you have had experience with both, can you do a video of the differences and which you prefer?

I wear their Sun Glasses, they’re great!

Maybe take a good class or two to shorten your learning curve? Nice work, thanks. Subbed.

Great Video and sharing the realties we all go through. I carried all the same fears into the COBDR. Never Stop Learning!!

Norden 901's main problem, its a KTM, I have a 2024 and it has a perpetual check engine light, misfires, cruise control doesnt work half the time and parts a unavailable. Don't waste your money on anything KTM

Hi, im new to your channel. Im guessing you have multiple off road bike's? I currently have a honda crf300l completely stock engine mods wise. Only have had tusk ddport rear and mt21 front. Now im trying mt21 front with motoz tractionator adventure rear. Ive been seeing a few different channels on this 450rl maybe looking to future way down the road. Im still a baby on dirt 😂 not so much on pavement i do lean it pretty good even with nobby tire's. Ill keep watching you progress with this bike and also the ecu flash. Too bad it doesn't have the service intervals as crf300l

Seat concepts seat, got one on my Honda CRF 450, my Yamaha wr 250r. And added one to my Norden standard height Seat Concepts it’s slightly more comfortable than the stock oem seat. Though you can slide from side to side easier on the oem seat. The Seat Concepts seat takes a few mile to break in (1000+/-) miles then it’s nicer.

dude, i get seat height, i'm vertically challenged at 5'7, the pan america is great for me because of the arh, but i have since realized thats my sport tourer, with gravel and fire roads thrown in and that i don't want to pick it up, i have since got a 701, had my dealer lower it 2in with proper springs and valving for my weight, i'm pretty comfortable on the balls of my feet when i stop, but need to watch where i park because of the kickstand, yea, i lost some ground clearance but do not ride it like a motocross bike and its way more fun in the woods because of the weight, and that thumper engine can get up and go.....I really like the expedition, but if i ever got one of those i know it would need lowered for me also, maybe not, but still, its good knowing you can get your foot down onto the ground when needed. sláinte!

As far as ADV garments here is what I am waiting for. After having owned all the KLIM, RevIT, Motoport etc.etc stuff for 1000's of dollars, I am over "plastic" feeling garments. Laminated gore-tex or membranes just never feel comfortable enough and I am just over the looks of the gear. Surely with the advances in abrasion resistant and waterproof denim, we can have cotton/denim based apparel that is waterproof and still breathes. It is possible with jeans and waterproof zippers I think - and thermal layers can complete the garment system. So please somebody make garments that are cotton/canvas based shells that match the performance of Klim garments. It is possible. Also doesn't need to cost $2k either. Okay - rant over :)

The seat hight is perfect! At least with my hight of 6’9! 😂

Love your videos and your channel - I have the 901 Expedition and an FE350. I put the Rally seat on from day one, with suspension on sport settings. It is tall! Even at 6 ft tall with a 33" inseam. I do find you have to plan where you are coming to a stop on rocky trails if you can of course, and for those times you can't it is a heavy lift if facing down the mountain 🙂

Oh, and I bit the bullet and picked up a brand new 2024 expedition this week!

Husqvarna makes a factory lowering kit that drops it 25mm I think. It would make it roughly the same height as the standard version. There’s still plenty of suspension travel that you’ll never be able to use. No one will even notice. All my riding buddies talk a lot of trash about lowering bikes but after I lowered my 500 EXC 1.5 inches no one even noticed!! At 5 foot 10 with a 31 inch inseam I’m able to comfortably leave my left foot on the peg and my right foot flat on the ground in riding boots, which is perfect in technical terrain and is exactly how I fit on the Norden!

I disagree with a few things stated in this video. First, Zero Mile ADV claimed the Ducati Desert X suspension was better than Tiger 900 RP. He didn't mention having ridden a Desert X, but having ridden all three bikes mentioned, I can say that the stock Desert X suspension bottoms out just as much as the Tiger's. And I would rate both the Tiger and the Desert X equally overall. But the Norden 901 Expedition suspension, with WP XPLOR, is far superior to all other Adventure bike models (excluding the special edition KTM 890 Adventure R Rally - with WP XPLOR Pro, and maybe also the Desert X Rally - with Pro KYB suspension). Zero Mile ADV kind of mixed up rake with suspension talking about the Tiger RP. I didn't find the steeper rake of the Tiger to be any issue at all, and think that jacking up the front and reducing the rear preload causes more problems than it solves. I agree with Zero Mile ADV's assessment of the Tiger motor, and only add that I think the Tiger's motor - with it's triple cylinders - is more fun than the Norden's in some ways, but doesn't feel quite as powerful - despite being close in horsepower. This is probably due to the Norden having 100 Nm torque - compared to the Tiger's 90 Nm. The Tiger 900 RP is a great bike, but just like all other standard edition Adventure bikes, it is not as off road focused as the Norden 901 Expedition or KTM 890 Adventure R.

Greta video, thanks for your take on both bikes. Just a question I still have: how would you rate wind protection and general comfort on long road sections at higher speeds?

When watching the mounting of the rack I realised that you have fixed the cross bar the wrong way. I think the U-shape has to look up, to be far away of the rear wheel. Happy riding Chris

Im a statistic of hard panniers! As I'm laying on the couch watching videos of what soft bags I'm going to buy..... broken ankle, broken Tibia and Fibula. My Xmas gift is leaning to the mosko moto backcountry!

If you don't like speakers, why buy a CVO? I won't buy a CVO unless it's an ST (no speakers in bags) because I don't like speakers either. If I buy a new Road Glide, I'll get a police model no speakers at all.

Drop your pressures down to 15. You'll still have plenty of pinch flat protection and the bike won't feel so loose and skittish.

Great progress. Hope that you will follow new trend, lite and stretch apparel. Focus on layers that can be very practical. Do not forget that moto apparel is fashion , follow cycling and hiking apparel directions.

cudo's to ur paint guy...looks great!!!! After the sale Harleys done with ya!!!

11.51, Are you not just a good rider?

Heck yeah! Get the GS.

I disagree with @zeromileadv and would never recommend an Adventure bike to a beginner - especially not a BIG R1250GS! Best to learn on a smaller lighter dual-sport - preferably one of the better performance ones like a KTM or Beta 350 / 500. Then keep the dual-sport and add a middle weight Adventure bike when you are ready. Best beginner Adventure bike is probably a KTM 790 Adventure or KTM 890 Adventure R - depending on rider height and street vs dirt focus. It is probably also the best bike for advanced riders who are dirt focused. But any of the top four middle weight bikes are great. They are the Ducati Desert X, BMW F900GS, Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro, and the KTM's. I would say the Tiger is a little better for the advanced rider who appreciates it's awesome smooth triple motor, and is a little more tarmac focused. Buy the bike for the riding you want to do, and not the riding you need to do in between. So if you want to go Offroad, don't buy a BIG 1200-1300cc bike just for the miles in-between the your house and the trail. The middle weight bikes these days can munch those miles just about as well as a BIG GS, but the 900ish cc bikes are way more manageable off road because they weigh so much less. There is no replacement for lack of weight!

You hit it on the head with the Honda. Need to have good skill and you also need to be in shape. It's powerful and alot of bike in the tight stuff. Imagine the 450L stage 2 kit with 58hp, take my word it's a handful!

What do you think of the Heritage? I’m not such a fan of the looks but it’s super comfortable. Initially went in for the Low Rider ST and it was way too uncomfortable for me being 6feet so just out of curiosity I test rode the Heritage Classic 114 2024 and it was a perfect fit. So I’m stuck wanting a sexy LW ST but I know I won’t take it on longer rides and then loving the Heritage which I will def go on trips with.

I'm buying one soon 11,000 out the door here in wash State .2024

I have 2 bikes. One is a trials and the other is a 1250gs. The trials made me a better rider and I’m doing some pretty technical stuff with a GS. Don’t underestimate a trials motorcycle to fine tune your skills. I’m short rider at 5’6” inches. Great video!

Any issues with your Norden? I'm looking to pick up my first "big" bike in February but with all thats been going on recently i'm a bit hesitant.

I love the 1300. After getting started on a KLX300R, I went straight to a 1300GS for off roading (with a little bit of electric street biking on the side for a while). I had a lot of great experiences growing my off roading capabilities on that bike. I've since gotten an 890 Adventure R, with the 1300GS now acting as a "back-up" option for off roading, but it comes at a disadvantage - the 1300 is great for getting *to and from* the trail, which can be anything from 1 hour to 3 hours of riding (in each direction!) for me. Do I prefer the 890 once I'm *right there*? Sure. Would I prefer a dirt bike/light dual sport? Sure. But unless I switch to a truck and truck it around, I need to balance on-road and off road riding. The 1300 (with the sports suspension) was quite serviceable for riding trails, even trending technical ones. Yes, as I go more and more technical eventually you get to the point where a certain bike sized becomes unreasonable, but you can do a *lot* with a 1300. And this is me speaking as a rider with only slightly more than a year of experience on bikes. As you have discussed, for something like a BDR ride this is great. Is it great for single track or super technical stuff? No! But that's okay. It's all about what you want to ride and your circumstances and needs. And you can do considerably more technical riding on big bikes than some people would have you believe.

Would you recommend the Ducati Multi V4s to someone that’s got both a Goldwing and a Suzuki 1000cc sport tourer as an adequate replacement for both bikes in terms of comfort and power?

I have a GS 1250, a CRF 300L, and a CRF 125. I enjoy all of them. You never wish that your bike was smaller but wish that you were more skillful. The real fun comes with a big bike.

Just my opinion: I'm 57 and have been riding for many decades, and my motorcycles keep getting smaller; my newest one being a non-abs crf300L. I would only buy a bike T7 or heavier if I took a passenger, or wanted to to a long road tour, as on the trails I don't want to drop anything heavier than 350#. I also don't want all the the -- to me -- unneeded tech on the big bikes. On the other side of the isle, a friend won't ride anything smaller than his 2020 Africa Twin A.S.

Consider some sprocket variations to find a gearing you like too… I have a 450RL supermoto and have played with the gearing to get it just right. Subscribed, nice video!

I sold my Africa Twin because I found it too heavy off-road. It was really hard to pick up and I lacked the skill to ride with confidence in rough terrain. Yes, it was great on the highway, but I want a bike that is less of a compromise off-road. I have a Honda 250L, which is great off-road for me, but lacks the range I want. I'm rarely on a freeway with trucks, so that's not an issue for me, but I do want a bike that has enough heft to take me comfortably at highway speed and then tackle some unmaintained forest routes. Still looking for my Goldilocks bike.

My first bike ever was a KTM 1290 SAR. I still have it and don’t ever regret buying it.

I’m really loving my new Ducati desert x rally. I think a man needs at least 6 motorcycles. Haha

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including myself, but I've ridden all sizes of bikes all my life (I'm 57 now). At this stage of my life, a big adv bike fits the bill. Long distances on the highway and some light off-roading. My current, and potentially last bike, is a '23 Tiger 1200. I love that bike. Everyone has different wants and desires. Hard enduro and single track isn't my thing anymore. I'll camp if I need to, but hotels and hot showers are my thing now. I've never been one to brag about how hard of a day I had. I can get that at work. Different tools for different jobs. If I had the room, I'd have 5 bikes. ADV, sport bike, ~300 cc dual sport, cruiser, retro bike.

Had a KTM 1190 for my first adventure bike. Was stolen. Insurance didn’t really pay enough for another. Got a Honda XR650L, nice enough bike but it’s no 1190. Going to sell the Honda and get back to a full size Adv bike in spring.

You can ride any weight bike no issues until you drop it on dirt , even easy dirt roads can contain hidden or unexpected dangers , in Australia kangaroos and bulldust just to name two. If you are riding with others , no worries hey Fred Stan and Bob can you lift this 800lb bike off me , oh geez they are way up ahead 😢.. The reason a beginner or even an experienced rider should ride a manageable weighted bike …is so They Can Pick It Up ON Their Own🤔

Keep it up. You have a style just stay with it

Not sure how I came across this video, but you did a great job explaining what you liked/disliked on both bikes. I grew up riding tracks, dunes and desert, so the 450 MX bikes were all I rode. After a near life ending accident, I thought I'd slow it down by getting a CRF450X. Worst bike I've ever owned. I did not enjoy it at all. We moved out to CO 3yrs ago, and we brought our 4-stroke bikes. My son and I on a KTM 350XC and daughter on her KTM 250SXF. Absolutely loved them in the desert. We had a terrible time with these 4-strokes on tougher single tracks, out here in CO. They felt very heavy, and would flame out occasionally. We immediately sold them and bought 3 2-stroke bikes. Mine is a KTM 250XC, son is KTM 300XC and daughter a Beta XTrainer 300. My daughter immediately increased her skill level, as her confidence had grown significantly. The 2-strokes are absolutely incredible for the riding we do out here. There is no way I could go back to a 4-stroke...for the riding WE do. If I move again and get back into track riding, and more desert riding...I'll be back on a 4-stroke. Anyway, great job on the video. I realize you're a fairly new rider, but you did a great job presenting your thoughts.
