I Sold My R1250GS and Bought a 2023 KTM 890 Adventure. Why? (EP.1)

In Episode 1 featuring my 2023 KTM 890 Adventure, I explain why I chose to replace a full size R1250GS with a smaller bike, why I chose this bike versus competitors like the Tiger 900, DesertX, Africa Twin and others, and why I chose the base model over the R model. This is episode 1 of a multi-part series, stay tuned! PS: I'm buying TWO more bikes this year for long-term testing, stay tuned to find out which ones! 00:00 Intro 01:39 Mid v. Full Size 03:58 890 v.
