    Wholesome is how this video can be described. As a recent RSV4 owner that sold the Aprilia for an 890 Adventure R, this makes me wish I’d bought the 890 Duke R. Love you 44T boys. Hope Boothy is doing well

      Agree with everything you said, especially the part about Boothy! I know he had that horrible accident at the TT but I want him to know we’ve been missing him and worried about him. Anywho, just wanted to wish him the best possible recovery ❤from Texas!

    Nice pit crew! Power Commander 5 with an EDR performance map will solve that issue with the 600s! I found dropping one tooth on the front and adding one in the back helped get some pull back when going to a larger rear tire (180/60 Pirelli SC3).

    That was a great video, well ridden races and neat to see how you exploit the strengths of the 890. Love what you've done to your bike and you certainly have the best pit crew! I have a 790 Adventure R and 1290 SD/GT. Went riding with some big boys the other day on S. Alabama back roads with the 790 and was surprised how it kept up even on Dunlop Mission 50/50 tires, so now seriously thinking of selling the 1290 for an 890 Duke R, especially since if I drop the 1290 I need help lifting it up; I even struggle with the 790 R (it's tall!)
