      Hi, awesome vlog! May I ask, from your experience (DriveMag Riders and other bikers), would Africa Twin be better on those rocky tracks we see starting around 11:00, please? It would be awesome BTW to put into comparison adventures bikes (Yamaha, Honda, KTM, BMW...) on very different tacks in the same vlog. Thanks!

      @Matthew Black From news agency webpage:
      "The 31-year-old motorcyclist, from Otopeni, was on a trip across the country, and finally arrived on a curve, on the afternoon of Friday, July 16, on a provincial road from Şaru Dornei, Suceava.
      The road was wet, and Cristian Predoi lost control of the BMW motorcycle, left the road and hit the car, then was thrown over a fence.
      Although he survived the impact, Predoi began to complain of illness towards the hospital. He died of internal injuries."

    Great video, candid conversation is appreciated. Photography was outstanding, by yourself, amazing. I love KTMs, I have had six, currently have a 690 E. Everyone brags on the R, and I am sure it is nice for and advanced rider that is tall. Real world I think this is the real adventure bike for most of the people, plus you can still touch the ground. Some of your rocky sections would have been tougher because you could only tippy toe on the R so less stable. I am 70, been ridding over 50 years and most of it in the dirt FYI. What I like about this over my 690 is the range and comfort for longer trips. I ride the 690 in 90% dirt. Excellent review and good luck to you.
