great video. just bought 13' 990 baja. cant wait to tear it up in the dunes. and yes they dont make em anymore. I got my weight down to 420 dry. a little hearvier then the klr 650 but with more then twice the power.
I think you could argue the other way around as well. I think it really depends on the application of the bike. No question the 950 is a powehouse beast.
VERY IMPRESIVE DEMOSTRATION OF THE CAPABILITYS OF THE KTM. ¡¡¡¡CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I HAVE SEEN OTHER VIDEOS WHERE THEY USE THE KTM LIKE A HONDA GOLD WING WHICTH I LOVE BUT IT IS CLEARE THAT IS FOR ONLY ROAD
The Adventure 990/990S or/and 950/950 S is one of the very, very best bikes. For everyone who comments without having ridden one-I truly recommend all of you to ride it first; then make your comments. I sat on one and thought: "Jesus so big and heavy"; I rode it and I thought: "Holy shit, it handles like a bicycle". You can't compare apples with cucumbers guys - so don't compare a single cylinder, competition enduro bike with V2 dual-purpose. Thank you for reading & safe riding everyone!
Super Enduro's are the wave of the future. I would rather have a BMW HP2 Enduro, but I'd rather pay the KTM 950 Enduro price tag! Either way impressive stuff for 1000-1200 cc bikes.
yes...it`s very true...I thought the same about size & weight....I ride with a friend who has one, I have a KTM SM990 with exhaust and maps...and man we are always side by side (on asphalf of course), that adventure is the mother... the only requirements are some long legs
china22s What's your opinion of the R1200GS and 1190 Adventure? I'm planning to buy one of them in January, too much pavement where I live~ Unless, there is a way to evade park rangers~~~ (;>_>)
4 travelling on roads, the gs is better than the ktm adventure (higher windshield, and the saddle is more comfortable in my opinion), but if u go offfroad, the ktm is much better (bigger wheels). Besides, I hate the weight of the gs adventure (ca. 250 kg). On the other side, u can drive and drive and drive the gs adventure and u don´t have to refuel :-) (approximately 600km range). two Frineds of mine went on a world tour on ktm adventures. They had to change once the drive coupling in Colombia because one of them was a quite newbie in motorcycling. that was their only defect on their 44.000km journey in the whole year.
Twisties, single track, motard, touring, track day dirt, track day pavement, take the wife for a ride, fire roads, and back to the single tracks. Sounds like a challenge honda woman I mean man. What you say, lets have a friendly competition. Rider to rider bike to bike. You do own one right.
This video back at 2007 helped me buying my first 950 adventure , thanks a lot guys
Makes me want a 950 all over again. Most capable bike I've ever had the pleasure of piloting.
It must hurt to come down on the seat with balls that big :) Love the Primus.
It is the first time I see the power of a big dual used so good.. and I see the POWER.
Best LC8 video? Quite possibly.
I love to be a man, because we just get older but never grow up! :-)
holy shit these guys can ride! :D
such a great bike....I have made a big mistake buying the fat cow aka R1200GSA ´cause can´t do stuff like u.
great Pics, great Music, great Riders - my favorite lc8 Video - thx 4 sharing

I've got one of these and they weigh alot more than 200 kilos! It's the most fun I've had on a bike in years, just silly how capable these things are!
now if that doesnt put a smile on your face, nothing will
they make the 990 look like a 250 with they way they ride this heavy bike...amazing skills!
that rider is a legend! KTM would be proud of him haha
Damn I wish I knew how to ride my Adventure like that!
The big 950 sure is about momentum, this video really proves it.
I think you could argue the other way around as well. I think it really depends on the application of the bike. No question the 950 is a powehouse beast.
KTM and Primus! Awesome. Outstanding riding guys.
For Sale: KTM 950, Excellent condition, Never seen the dirt.
very goooooood video !!!! the real use for KTM Adventure !!
Awesome riding...the river crossing was greeeaaat!
thats some nice country side i need to go there this summer i got a XR 600 desert racer and i got to the baja 500 every year its really fun
i was worried my XT660R would be too big for serious off roading....that vid sure as hell shut me up though!
very very impresive i didint think this could be done on a 950
VERY IMPRESIVE DEMOSTRATION OF THE CAPABILITYS OF THE KTM. ¡¡¡¡CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I HAVE SEEN OTHER VIDEOS WHERE THEY USE THE KTM LIKE A HONDA GOLD WING WHICTH I LOVE BUT IT IS CLEARE THAT IS FOR ONLY ROAD
i love it when people properly thrash adventure bikes.
Damn that sounds good, and DAAAAYYYUUUUUMMM you guys are fantastic riders! Making the guy on the smaller bike look like a scrub.
Impeccable bike handling.
Amazing guys, Wish i could do that out in the desert! bet its incredible!
950 and Primus! nice combo!!!
nice ripping
Finally a video showing what the thing can do without a 50yr old accountant on it...
Glad to see others having fun withg the big KTM
Man this guy is good on a 2000lbs beast.
Yup. Dude can ride, no doubt!
I must be responsible for at least half of those 110k views. Thanks man, awesome vid.

Very good riding and control Thumbs up to you
The 990 Adventure is the 2007+ update on the 950 Adventure
when he sells it the ad will say "never thrashed, just used for commuting" LOL
just ride'n around town.....
I want some dunes around my town!!!
they were forbidden for dakar and such i think. an enduro capable 1000cc, that's awesome.
Sweet! And great choice of a Primus song.
Super Enduro's are the wave of the future. I would rather have a BMW HP2 Enduro, but I'd rather pay the KTM 950 Enduro price tag! Either way impressive stuff for 1000-1200 cc bikes.
omg!! incredible... i want improve my self to ride my bike like you
Nice terrain and landscape :)
You ride it like it is a KTM Exc or sc.... Aweessooomm!!!
yes...it`s very true...I thought the same about size & weight....I ride with a friend who has one, I have a KTM SM990 with exhaust and maps...and man we are always side by side (on asphalf of course), that adventure is the mother... the only requirements are some long legs
Wow... someone can really RIDE.
i will not think about what would happen if he done that with a bmw gs :D
it would have fallen apart - I know that, bcs I have one...and a ktm EXC 450 :-)

I've got a question guys... Where about is this beautiful playground ? I've ridden a model like this. This machine is just amazing.

Nice to hear some Primus.
Also, awesome vid!!!
u r a pilot my friend!..welldone!
you make it look so easy...
thats what you call a baja truck on two wheels
I love that KTM Adventure R model! Were the dune shots taken at Glamis/Imperial sand dunes in southern California?
I had no idea KTM made jetskis! :D
@aragoster All depends on the rider.
Big dirt bike. Well done...
Yogoi, your my Hero!
Ghost Rider, ADV
Nice Looks like Utah to me. Foothills but Utah.
nice riding on the big bike
COOL vid MAN. Hope soon i will B happy owner of 990 r as well. KEEP ROCKIN :))
this bike is very nice. Also bmw r1200 gs adventure is very nice.
this video CLEARLY shows a 1L bike is BETTER than a 400 or 250 or whatever. In the right hands of course. Harder to handle but the results NO COMMENT.
Love the riding but I got to tell ya that music is sketchy!
I love my Super Tenere but in dirt, I want that...drool. The ten is a bit heavy.
wow never seen something similar on a big enduro
hope to do me too
WHEN (many times dont) :) that engine works can really do all
where is that? i mean u got dunes, mountains, plains... nice!
enjoy properly your bike man!!
