These things are fine, if you are able to afford the high cost of parts and service costs, for many everyday Joe's it's cost efficiency which is a large part of the ownership point, especially right now with the current world situation.

Greetings from N.I. just heard at the last of the Vlog after i made the first comment , it would be very interesting to see your Arnhem vlog as my Father was on the first wave of landing craft to hit Juno beach on D- day, and I traced his movements on his journey. Regards Robert

do you find the GSA more comfortable because the seats are different from the R1250 GS standard. ??

Not wishing to piss on your chips but having had a few of these I would now not be given one !! Sounds like you are the lucky one ?? I simply can not afford to run one with £190 per hour servicing costs and parts that are stupid prices .. I now ride a Benelli T.R.K. 502 and find it apart from the power to be every bit as good for less than half the price but the power is more than enough !! Anyway good luck with the bike if you are happy that's all that really matters !!

Mate.... Who's Julie at 2:43 mins in ...?

I’ll take your weather over our 95F/35C! Riding in the mountains is great but I miss the smell of a cool, damp day at the sea. If the bike is doing well, maybe hold on to it? Mine will be 3 in March - I figure if I will keep it (and I love it) it’s cheaper to buy an extended warranty for a couple more years than a new bike with as-yet unproven design. Quite the bit of handiwork on that post box topper. Looking forward to your trek in September if you decide to record it 👍

It’s a keeper mate.

Lovely Heybridge well worth a visit. 1250 is a brilliant bike, think it's a keeper? 😊

Don't you just love the British weather. I can understand you hanging onto the 1250. It's a very difficult bike to better. We're hanging onto our bikes while they remain reliable. The coffee stop looked lovely. That post box capper looked amazing. Some very talented people with knitting needles.

What tyres did you use previously?

Fancy the one in the Alps with us in the winter? 😘

Looked like soo much fun 😆😆

Looks like you both had a brilliant time. Great footage, love the little parachute thing to presumably keep the speed down.

When the next one?😅❤

Have you ridden the new TransAlp? I know the price bracket isnt the same but im cross shopping both! How does it compare?

Thread pattern?

spider sat on your shoulder was too much on the rear facing clips , great looking bike but im holding onto my blade for now

Hi Tony are you the tony from barlby and i am pat drury from siding lane what date are you in Assen i would like to see you

I had a Speed Triple, 675r Daytona, Ducati 800 s2r and currently a used 2007 Ktm 990 Super Duke. The Duke was getting older and service and repairs were frustrating me. So I wanted a fun new second bike that was budget friendly. Lots of great reviews on the ktm 390 duke ( all years ). So I got the 2024 because it really looked like a big step up from the 2023. Pros: what you get for the price is Top shelf. The quickshifter is only $250 and works flawlessly. It’s a 390 and I think it rides like a 500-600cc bike. I can keep up with all my buddies. 52 mpg, service windows long, add on parts cheaper. I will get a newer 890 or 990 but this 390 duke is a keeper, just plain fun with plenty of power for the roads we ride. Cons: I miss the bigger rubber of a larger bike. Still waiting for good exhaust choices. It’s too new. Maybe the seat tips forward a bit. Workable, you can play with the sag. It’s a pocket rocket so if it fits in your pocket it’s going to be different than my 1000cc bike cockpits. It’s less then half the cost of the 990 duke. I wanted something that rides like a ktm duke for $6000 and man this thing does not disappoint. Lastly I’ll say it is the best beginner bike you could buy and a lot of experienced riders own one in their garage, because they enjoy bikes that are fun to ride.a

I’m 6 foot tall. The bike fits, but feels smaller than my 1000 cc naked bikes. But rides great just different than the larger bikes. I think I can do stuff on this 390 that that is harder for the larger bikes when it comes to backroads twisties

good vid on channel as always keep up the good vid you do

Like the look of this bike, good review as usual, perhaps you should test ride it's bigger brother 😊

Another great review always get the need to knows on a bike

Was hoping to actually have a full review of the mutants given the title 🙃 but no idea what mileage to expect from the rear. But you seem to get big mileage from tyres somehow. You just ride extremely conservatively.

thx bro

nice video ..

I'm 173 cm or 5´8" and 84 kg/185 Pounds the normal seat height was no problem for me. I could flat foot the left and keepting the right still on the peg at red lights. All in all I really liked this bike for what it is. I didnt even think the bike feelt that heavy and I'm coming from a super light KTM Duke 890R

Hi Murt . I bought these jeans recently and agree they are great jeans . Took them on a recent trip to Ireland and wore them just as much off the bike as on . Having short legs ( jeans got altered by local seamstress) I found the same issue with the knee armour pockets to the point I took it out ( I know kind of defeats the object) but will get that altered as well . Great review ... enjoy the ABR

I like and use riding jeans. These look very good. I'm currently using Knox AAA rated but they are single layer so I don’t completely understand how they gained their rating. Mine are reasonably close fitting so the armor stays where it should be. I think I prefer my riding jeans slightly longer than my regular ones as I still want them covering my boots when sat in a riding/crouch position on the bike.

good vid keep up the good vids

I think I may have to pay them a visit, I need some summer gloves 😊

Needs cruise control, looks like an ideal multi purpose bike, I might change from my DL 650 if they add cruise. Great video. subbed.

KTM had single cylinders way into the early 2010s

Just subscribed and thank you for this video, I'm looking for a set of new tyres for me R1200GS right now and your video was really helpful. Thank you 😎

I've had the same problem when I testrode a triumph street twin some 8 years ago. So I came home and said to my wife look, here's the deal...I'm gonna buy that bike. Amazingly enough she said well go ahead then. 😳😳

Seriously contemplating a new one of these,, iv got a 2020 v strom 650 xt atm with only 6000 miles on it, its a great bike but a little under powered at times.

I know you mentioned this near the end of your (excellent) review, but thought I’d double check: The bike was tall enough so your knees didn’t ache? (I’m 6’3” with 36” inseam.) Also: was it top heavy? Or easy to maneuver when stopped?

What's the name of that blue armor they were showing? Unfortunately like they were talking about some of my gear didn't come with any armor and I'm looking for good armor. Kudos to these guys for adding full armor in reasonably priced gear. Definitely getting that munro jacket in the future

What about mirrors . i cant see shit above 5000 revs? Why no-one has mention that?

Did I miss the price? !!

A comment as requested. 🤝🏼

Well that was probably the best and most informative bike tests I have watched. No bull just all the info you could want when wanting to know about a new bike. All areas covered like fit, finish, build quality, handling, brakes etc.Well done and will watch out for future tests.

wire wheels win every time

That is a very good looking bike,and would be a great upgrade from my Bandit,but having just recently having a 45 minute test ride on the new Africa twin (standard manual) I was blown away on how comfortable it was. Great video Murt.👍🏻

Good looking bike, nice review. 😊

Interesting first thoughts 👍This bike should really interest me, sporty, touring, suits taller person and Japanese reliability. But... I've sat on this bike and that seat is too narrow for all day comfort. Narrowed down so shorter riders can reach the floor Finally, is a 12K redline sportsbike engine conducive with relaxed touring? I would imagine you need to rev the thing to experience the best out of that engine. Think it's why BMW sell so many GS's..... low end grunt. Sorry but still not keen on those Suzuki stacked headlights.

I actually liked that bike looked like a fun ride. May have to look into getting a bike licence. 😊 Great video Murt

Hi Mirt Nice that we could get to know you . We think that you are doing well and that you will always meet nice people on your travels With kind regards Astrid and Thomas

There tires are top in all conditions

Pearl tech white is the best color!
