That crossing is no joke, nice job getting through upright lol. And that was before someone went through and removed a lot of the big rocks

Is it a how to add Google maps to GPX or a tour? How about sticking to the how to.

Thanks for the great video. I truly appreciate it. I have a Garmin Zumo 595 and I've tried Harley Davidson Ride Planner, it works great on my cell phone but not on my Garmin. It only gives straight lines from point to point. I tried Rever, created a route and when I loaded it into Basecamp it worked well but then when I transferred it my Garmin it changed about 50% of my created route. I like the layout of Rever because they have "Butler Motorcycle Maps" integrated into their platform as well as various BDR routes. How can I use Butler or know the BDR or integrate it with google maps? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your informations

Ouch!

Jesus bike

Is it better to buy a used 790 R with some farkles and save $4-5K or a new 2023 890 R if you have been riding street for many years and want to start learning off road with ~30% riding off-road? Do the 890 R improvements make learning off road any easier for a noob? Dropping a used bike certainly seems more appealing. lol I will keep my big bike for 2up and the 790/890 for 30 min to 3 hour asphalt rides to arrive at BDRs.

Please make a video on animation of gpx route

will this gpx file work in the Harley GTS

Thanks so much for putting this up! you have made my life so much easier when route planning. Best, Jonathan

I made my route in Google Maps. Used that website you suggested to export to GPX. I uploaded it to my Garmin and the route that the Garmin would take me is NOT the same.

I love the look of your trails. Where are you riding, in general?

I smash the guts out of my 2020 Rally. The lower seat from Seat Concepts helps me out a pile. I have also done a pile of mods that hop my bike up quite a bit from stock. I ride heavy enduro and film for YouTiube under Dirt Chimps. Nice video. It would be fun to chat sometime! Cheers!

I would love the R version but is it any good for road touring and KTM reliability worry’s me a bit

Where in Oregon are you! These road/trails look fun!

Great video. How many hours did you put in this day?

As of Feb 21, 2022, this is working.

KTM 890 AR is just not reliable enough for you to take it on a long road trip...it's a dirt bike in a street bike form...constantly breaking down and constantly being worked on...but it does everything you ask for...which is exact reason why I am getting it :D :D

Did you buy the 890?

Thanks! Here are some tips: The start and end points can't be the same. If making a loop, use slightly different points to start and end the route. Use up to ten waypoints to create the route as shown in the video. Do not use the dots on the Google Map to move the routes as any over ten won't be used when the route is converted to GPX and the route will be wherever Google Maps would take you for the shortest distance. If you need more than ten waypoints to force Google Maps to select the roads you want, create the route in segments of ten waypoints and export each to a separate GPX file.

It's amazing when I'm watching a video like this and think to myself that the terrain looks familiar; and then you say you're in Bend. Of course. I've been trying to buy a T7 but can't find one. If I can't snag a T7 by Spring 22 I guess I'll be riding Orange next Summer. That's what brought me here, researching the 890. Maybe I'll come take a class from you when I'm on a better bike than my RE Himalayan, which by the way has seen some BDR.

Been riding on and off for 50 years. The 890 r is the best I've rode.. It's a ripper. Great video

790 rally and it stays in the garage. Not because finance but i´w found the sweet spot for my riding it in where im just having fun. Stering damper neded.

Lots of complaints about this not working; however, I just tried it and it worked perfect. After it converted the map to a GPX, I dropped it into my Rever maps and it popped right up.. I hope everyone understands that once it is converted into a .GPX file, you have to load it into a GPS or a program that reads GPX files. Anyway, thanks for posting this, it helped a lot. UPDATE: nope, I was wrong, MapstoGPX is definitely not working. Everything seemed to work fine, until I attempted to load it on my bike. It would not load. I used GPS Visualizer and it worked fine.

Excellent video, apart from the distracting background music.

Great video - rode the IDBDR at end of Sept 2020 - ate it riding through the creek crossing but picked the bike up quickly without any water intrusion. What time of year did you ride it? How did you get all the details about the ride - on the BDR website? Did Section 6 of the ORBDR in July - hoping to get on the WABDR in September. Ride on brother!!

I get the error "Unable to determine the end of the embedded google directions data". I thought maybe it was something to do with the long route I had chosen, so I tried a short route with just a few waypoints and got the same error. Seems that as of 2021 mapstogpx.com may no longer be working.

Mapstogpx no longer works. It would be in the interest of visitors to remove this so as not to waste any more visitors time. below is result FATAL ERROR Unable to determine the end of the embedded google directions data Please go back and check your Maps link and retry, if this error persists then please check again in a few hours

the site maps to gpx is not working...

Ride on!!

Mapstogpx doesn't work. I don't know if this is temporary.

I'm getting the 890 r today. I've been reading a Africa twin for a year and it's not that great on small 2 track or single track. I'm hoping this ktm will be the answer.

Rode 890R yesterday. Price increase is a lot. Upgrades make sense verse the price. I’ll be keeping my 790R

Just bought one today. Plan on riding it through Central America mine is stock right now plenty of mods to do to it and prep before I go looking at next year. 790 is a great bike as well. Looking forward to my trip going as far down as Colombia. Just subscribed looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Oh my trip will start from the Uk shipping bike to Florida 👍🌴😎

I'm selling my xr650l, 2005 KTM 950 Adventure and 2007 990 Adventure, for I just bought the last 2021 KTM 890 ADVENTURE R in stock from Carter Powersports here in Las Vegas, was still in the box. Picking it up Tuesday! 🏍️💥🔥🔥🔥

I have the 690 enduro r which isn't really and adventure bike..i would love the 890 r but would also like to keep my 690..

What's your website address? I'd like to head up there this summer for one of the BDR rides. 👍

hi handsome. i love and enjoy your time,video and thoughts. great video. great bike. my thought is the more transistors a motorcycle has the $$$$ pricer it becomes.goodluck.

I'm a seasoned rider looking to ride again after being away from the sport for 27+ years. You're right in what you said, that this bike would be great for beginners as well as seasoned riders. I have a lot of offroad experience. My riding now will be fairly tame compared to what it used to be, but I'm looking for a bike to get around town and also take on some easy offroad trails. This bike (or the Honda CRF) fits the bill perfectly. It is lightweight, will handle well, and has enough power for the intended use of the bike. I'm also glad you mentioned that this engine has been around a long time. I didn't know that but it reassures me that it will be reliable. My dealer hardly has any bikes now due to covid disruption of the supply chain. It will probably be months before he can get either the KLX or the CRF300, but I will get whichever one he can get first. I have a love for Honda, having ridden Honda bikes before, but also using honda autos and even mowers and garden tools. I appreciate their great reliability as well as quality and engine smoothness. But, I have no doubt the KLX would be great as well, and I especially like its adjustable suspension. I will have one of these two bikes just as soon as I can get my hands on one! Nice video, thanks!

Good video. Why not 1290 Adventure R?

So I'm a short stumpy bastard 5 foot 8 215,im guessing this might be too light for me?

Great video. Subscribed! I have the 890 adventure r and i am in love with it

Double the price of a new KLR 650.......

Whatever route I create and copy to Maps to GPX, it returns this message: "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 429 Too Many Requests Please go back and check your Maps link." I get this even if I create a link that is a 2 mile drive on a straight road. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

is not work now

I'm buying this bike in a couple of weeks! Hyped up

Need and want are very different things. The best way to decide is always the scientific method. The formula "N + 1 = the correct number of bikes" is the solution to your question with "N" equaling the number of bikes you have right now. You're welcome!

I thought the 790 and 890 came with tubeless wheels?

Swapping out the stock wheels certainly moves the needle closer to one choosing the Rally. Do you need it? Heck no, but it would be fun to have.

the guy in ktm told you that you need the newer version?! That's incredible !
