The 2023 KTM 890 Adventure R is the Most Off-Road Capable ADV on Sale Today (so I bought one)

If you want a multi-cylinder, travel-capable adventure motorcycle, but still want amazing off road capability, your options are a bit limited. You've got the Yamaha Tenere 700, Aprilia Tuareg 660, Ducati DesertX, Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro, and a few others. The KTM 890 Adventure R is the most capable in this category - with best in class power to weight ratio, the best electronics, and best suspension. However, it does come with some serious downsides and reliability concerns. Here's why I bought yet another KTM. #motorcycle #ktm #ktm890adventure #advrider #adv #travel 🏍TODAY’S GEAR: ⚡ Klim Krios Pro: https://imp.i104546.net/WD9gOM ⚡ REV’IT Cayenne: https://imp.i104546.net/NkKZzK ⚡ Sedici Marco 2 Glove: https://imp.i104546.net/nLnyz7 ⚡ Mosko Moto Wildcat 8L Backpack: https://bit.ly/3OiE5Ss ⚡ Sidi Adventure 2 Gore Tex Boot: https://imp.i104546.net/b3q5kx 🏍BEHIND THE SCENES / DISCORD SERVER / CHAT WITH ME! ⚡ Patreon:   / bigrockmedia   🏍 SUPPORT BIG ROCK MOTO BY USING MY AFFILIATE LINKS! ⚡ Rocky Mountain ATV/MC: https://bit.ly/33kgRIz ⚡ Revzilla: https://imp.i104546.net/6bxxXN ⚡ Mosko Moto: https://moskomoto.com/bigrockmoto ⚡ Amazon: https://amzn.to/3viGZ0A ⚡ Merchandise: https://big-rock-moto.myspreadshop.com/ 🏍 RECOMMENDED RIDING GEAR AND PARTS!
