Cant wait to get my hands on a 2023 890r , will be my first adv bike and im really looking forward to taking on a new style of riding and i think ive made the right decision getting the 890r , having owned a couple R6s and a R1 and 6 or 7 yz450fs for riding in the bush over the years and ive just sold my Harley to buy the 890r i think im going to have a lot more fun on the adv bike than any of the other bikes , next year i will do a couple trips to the top end of oz , have been looking at what bags to put on it but there's so many to choose from , sleeping conditions will be a hammock, sleeping bag and a rain fly , few sets of clothes and a couple 3 piece fishing rods ، small gas burner and bits and pieces, few tools oouple tubes and that will be it ... im missing out and cant wait for the next chapter of a new riding style...
You must solve some simple matters there in KTM such as the gasoline pump out from the tank when the motorcycle moves in hot contitions imagine a smoker sitting next to a rider who just opens the tank and the spring of gasoline with the evaporation fills the air...
It is going to have check engine lights come on in the first 1000 miles like the 2002 RC 390? Will it spend more time in the shop than on the road/trails like the RC 390?
Nice ad. I will need to buy two. So when one breaks down I have the second one to ride waiting for the first one to be fixed. Then again what happens if both are broken? Gee might need to buy three.
The more features i see on these new bikes (as options) in some cases, the more I appreciate my 1190. Since it already has most of the them. Not add ons or extra features to purchase. Main difference is the smaller wheel and the adjustable traction (9-1) settings in Rally modes, basic on or off with 1190 and most settings need to manually be set. Then there is the weight diff of course. 467 vs 432 lbs. and the lower CG with the new tank design. but the 150 ponies sure make it exciting. KTM Adventure Rocks regardless!!
I live in Midwest, USA, and I got mine delivered last week. I'm a first-time KTM owner, and the experience has been disappointing. I get the extra $699 for Tech Pak; it's a user-centric feature that won't make a difference for most riders. But to enable Bluetooth, you must pay between $150-200 and buy a connectivity unit. That's a new low for KTM. What next? Pay for using front brakes? These days even coffee machines have Bluetooth in them. And my dealer has no idea when this will be available here. It's a great motorcycle, but KTM's business model doesn't appeal to me. I have other European Motorcycles ( Duc & BMW) and know what I pay for. It's definitely for something other than fundamentals. My last KTM !!
Hi Chris, I was considering the purchase of Ktm you tested, what do you think of the normal version? KTM 890 Adventure S? I like the R very much, but my fear is given by its height (I am 178 cm tall). Let me know. Thank you
ktm, it is always a good time to make me a present since my exe 125 2000 model (my first bike even) since now, this is the motorcycle I have always been dreaming of feel free to make me a present :DD
Own the2023 KTM super adventure R 1290 these bikes are beasts . They need to keep all the settings easier to much BS scrolling threw stuff just to ride off road.
As a current KTM owner as well as 2 GasGas bikes I was planning on getting the 2023 890R but don't want to support a company that will charge you for the hardware on a bike and then charge extra so you can use it! F that
@@sagarthapa3765 Not done much outside Europe so not really qualified to advise. My feeling though is the EXC is more of a competition bike with higher and more regular levels of maintenance required than an adventure bike.
This will be controversial but I don’t like the new fairing. I get that the wind protection might be better but I like the shape and colour of the 21/22 model more. Like the new screen and engine guard but keep the rest as it was for me.
So ok. I'm in love with this bike. I see. No seat confort, no heigh reduce, so is not able (to me, I'm 172) to carry tons of luggage and make an "ADVENTURE" travel. I will check anyway in a shop how it feels
Note Chris isn’t the model in the new promo video. It’s actually Adam Riemann and he (Adam) talks about the experience on his channel. Very cool video.
love the bike but not the price or having to pay twice for the features you want! Next thing sixth gear will be a subscription, and " oh you wanted 8 inches of travel? thats $50 a month, ABs ? $25 per ride. forget it!
Just waiting on a price in the UK and I’ll be placing my deposit on one. Just sold my 690 so this will be the replacement. What are the service intervals like? There isn’t a lot of info on ktms site yet.
Cant tell the new from the old and really dont see a benefit from adding the Mitas7+ probably the worst offroad tire from the Mitas lineup, outmost respect for Birch but really cant trust a sponsored review....
I wish it would be as reliable as the Tenere 700. But 790/890 KTM‘s aren‘t crafted in Europe and I‘ve heard that the quality ist pretty bad… otherwise I’ll purchase one :)
Your man's right about the looks of this machine, these combi off roaders are normally pug ugly, sorry dog, but this is a nice looking bike. Price tag though is way out of my mere mortal league. 😢
I was about to buy a new 890 but I wont, I will keep the 790. The price you have released is joke !! For what? No real updates, you have only fixes YOUR issues from YOUR production, which is by the way now moved to china, this leads to cost savings and you raise the price about 20% instead of keeping it?! You struggle with quality in austria production, and you want us to trust you while its moved to china and also its more expensive? Come on!! This is Big big dissapoitment. Your marketing is very bad. If I decide to proceed with my purchase by any chance, I will be definietally making very very detailed review about that bike, to make sure, it's worth the money...I will check every single screw....
I hope SOOO that you write this review, because the truth is only one. But in the same time I don't want you to lose money 😅😅😊😊 I just hope then that review will be positive,in that case it's win-win situation. All the best from Serbia 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@Dusan-wr3cb Actually I bought 890 at the end 🤣 and honestly, there is not a big differenct other than design and bit less stalling in low rpms :) These bikes are great but the difference between modlels is minimal. More over rally mode has to be payed on the new one while it was included before...
by the way...I found mamy cost saving projects on new model...some parts has different materiL than before... wheel spacer last less, rubber below the seat also... I can spot many small things that are now made from some cheaper material. This obviously dissapointing me a lot. Coz they are runing great bike with small savings while the price is already high as shit.
Please please ,I so love love the ktm 790/890 r ,is there no one that does not want theirs, I old 66 and I cant afford one ,please some super rich guy please 😢
I love the new look of this bike. VASTLY superior to the old one!
Will it now run on two cylinders immediately instead of one upon a cold start?
You are asking for too much from Ktm 😂
This is one of those things 😂 if you know… you know

Does it blow fuel after a hot run?
Honestly, the fairing is a huge deal. That was what was holding me back from buying it. Love it!

Happened to me on different bike due to clogged auxiliary tank. Never been so embarrassed
Suppose not smoking near fuel vapour would be a good start?🤨
@@Mineratron while we're speaking about a "normal" motorcycle with price about 12K or more smoking near is acceptable 😂😂

No this Isn't made in India
@@alexmomo151 Its branded KTM and I paid 7K for it. Since I apparently got a Bajaj is KTM gonna refund me the price difference?
Looks like a winner. Love the new look and I guess most people will.
These bikes are awesome, when they are running 🤣
I heard the same thing.
I have a 2020 790 and love it. It’s is the most exciting adv bike I’ve ever riden
Haha do you own one or have you ever ridden one?
Nothing is perfect in this world of motorcycles BUT KTM is getting too much closer to it. I LOVE KTM bikes.
Whether something looks good is really in the eye of the beholder. I want to see this suspension on the Norden 901. That would be a winner.
Will the side fairings and windscreen fit the 2021 890 Adventure R?
My new dream bike!
We all know that adam rieman did the riding footage. Great that birchy also approved from standstill perspective 😉👌🏼
Nice ad. I will need to buy two. So when one breaks down I have the second one to ride waiting for the first one to be fixed. Then again what happens if both are broken? Gee might need to buy three.

Looks very like the new 450RFR which looks like a beefed up 450SX-F. Cool package, looks the business. 😎
Will it leak coolant? Have clogged oil channels? Leaking from the counter shaft or valve cover gasket?
yes, why not ?
@@skrzatRG maybe we should rant every ktm promotion video on social media until they solve all the current problems.
@@robertandersson2523 50ml of coolant every ride is not a big deal, right. Either failure one of two fan radiator
Love it 🤗😀😎
#desibiker proud to be KTM adventure always
Looks awesome. This will be the ultimate go anywhere bike if it is trustworthy like a tenere 700.
Bella moto. Nella nuova livrea. Il collaudatore fa vedere cose che i normali sognano.
It looks great with that dark silvery blue added to the orange, white and black.
Just bought a 23. Now for it to arrive on time in Feb.
Camshafts and camfollowers also updated, so they don't fai and you don't have to replace them and the cylinderhead before you even hit 30 000km?
Can you update the hazard light command on the cuirrent 890? It's ridiculous a bike of that price doesn't come with hazard lights.
For the love of God KTM please release this in INDIA, there are buyers serious buyers like us
I want one! Ready to give up my 1190 Adventure R for this 890 Adventure R!!! KTM please get them to the dealerships!!!

why is there a area blurred under the rear suspension? ua-cam.com/video/R6sweospnBE/v-deo.html

Sooo is the seat any lower and or narrower?

Does it have heated seat?
The hauzard lights don‘t go on at the same time. The left goes first and then the right after a few miliseconds. Watch the video at 0,5x, you‘ll see
Uma dessa Aki no Brasil... Ah sonho!!
What a awesome bike. But in the video the bike has full knobby tires lol.. not sure those stock tires can handle the terrain shown in the video

It looks like a proper 990 redefied for 2022
I hope you are right. The 990 was a fantastic bike. Could handle all terrain including long road trips in comfort. I loved mine.
