Testing the new 2023 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R | 100% BIRCHY APPROVED

How long did it take for something to break?

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. 😢

It looks great with that dark silvery blue added to the orange, white and black.

Chinese bikes. Big image. Ready to Race etc.

Does it have heated seat?

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 😢

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

KTM ❤👊🏼😀

That headlight though SMH. Ugliest one out there. Change it already.

More riding less talking

Now if they could make it fit someone with a 30" inseam it would be fantastic, HA HA.

All adventure is Soo sexy my goodness 🔥

must drive and for several years they have only been in the workshops

Damn!

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?

Love it 🤗😀😎

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 !!

Kids and greasers… that’s KTM for y’all

Will the side fairings and windscreen fit the 2021 890 Adventure R?

i own a ktm 300xcw and a yamaha tenere 700.sorry ktm, but ur adventure bike is ugly. is the 790/890 better then my t7 offroad? yes, but if I want offroad performance I'll take my 300t. having the fuel tank down low is a terrible idea off paper - what happens when u have to go through a deep rut?

I have never seen more ugly seat on a bike lol! And still the plastic cover over the angine and the nasty looking front lights lol!

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.

Honestly, the fairing is a huge deal. That was what was holding me back from buying it. Love it!

No shame running different tires in multiple shots in this video. E07 is present in the non action shots only it appears. 😂

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!!

Just bought a 23. Now for it to arrive on time in Feb.

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....

Users of KTM have many problems in Japan.
70 of the customers have already paid for the motorcycles at KTM Fukuyama but they haven't received them yet. This is fraud.
I hope this fact will be reached to the head office of KTM.

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 :)

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

これだけ新車投入にも関わらず
日本での企業イメージ低下による売り上げが下がっているのはご存知でしょうか？

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

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...

I want one! Ready to give up my 1190 Adventure R for this 890 Adventure R!!! KTM please get them to the dealerships!!!

Come soon in Nepal ♥️🙏🇳🇵

Did they really have him dub over himself?

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!

KTM's Demo Mode Is A SCAM! 2023 KTM 890 Adventure R

Chris is kind of a legend, eh?? whom better to talk about the bike. It def looks better now, still could be improved, but better for sure.

Since the 990 ktm lost their way design wise. Glad they've rediscovered their mojo.
