Geiler Sch***! Mal wieder… ich finde Deine Videos/Reiseberichte absolut genial, granatenmäßig gefilmt und produziert. Und auch wenn ich mich selbst niemals auf einem Transitalia Marathon sehe, danke ich Dir für dieses geniale Video 👍😄
Vielen Dank für die netten Worte 😉 freut mich sehr das Dir das Video gefällt. Ich war mir nicht sicher am Ende überhaupt genug gefilmt zu haben da das Fahren ja recht viel Aufmerksamkeit brauchte 😂 cheers Oliver
Ich mag dein Englisch. Sehr gemütlich, sehr entspannte Stimme. Tolles Video 👍

I would like to see more clips of your new 1290 SAR added to your awesome astonishing videos.
Thank you very much - I have a few videos in editing now where you will see a bit more of the new bike. It will be a while before they go online as these videos takes weeks to produce but it’s coming 😉
Brilliant 🚜🚜🤟
Thank you very much 😉
Magnifique!!!! Ta chaîne RUclips est vraiment au top 👍
Thank you so much! and thank you for watching and commenting 😉
@@MotoVibesau plaisir de te rencontrer si tu passe en 🇨🇭
Nice 👍👍👍
Thank you very much 😉
Cool video mate. I didn't know it was legal to ride on dirt roads in Italy. Imho, mud should be out of our game with a big adventure bike- even with 50-50 tires. There is a lot of luck involved and it's not just the skill. The falls in the mud are too fast and quite dangerous.
Thank you very much! There are few great places to ride on dirt roads in Italy but I guess they are a bit harder to find. There are also tracks in the Alps that follow along old military roads - all of our West Alps Tour was in Italy ruclips.net/video/5o1KxO0NMyE/видео.html
Mud and heavy adventure bikes are not the best mix. We had more than our fair share of that during our last tour on the ACT Greece - a video that I hope to bring out in the spring ;-)
@@MotoVibes I returned in October from a 10 days motorcycle trip in Greece with my wife in the Peloponnese. We had so much fun. I have to go back there for some off-road riding.
@@orpaztron The ACT Track covers parts of the northern part of the Peloponnese - the rest is on the main land in the Pindus mountains. Beautiful tracks 😉
@@MotoVibes Thanks, I'll check it
Crazy Germans 😂
Italy a unspoilt country
Would love to do that
Stay safe my German friend 🏍️🌬️🧡
What an adventure and Italy 🇮🇹 is always worth a visit 😎 as always thanks for watching and commenting my friend 👍
You have to come transanatolia and make a video from that please 😊
This looks very exciting! An event like this would certainly be a step up but I would most definitely need a much lighter bike for this 😉
11:37 "hadda layer down" würden die Amis sagen. Wahnsinn, was für ein Spaß!
Allerdings. War unvergessliche 4 Tage
Amazing stunning, I thought temperatures would adwjmwdp in higher elevation and not the other way around. Though I'm no weather expert.
What was the engine failure on your bike? Cam position sensor? You were lucky it didn't happen after you started the race
Thank you very much 😉The temperatures had me puzzled too for a while - I recently saw an explanation for this phenomenon - colder air is heavier and can accummulate in valleys - I have experience something similar during my Balkan trip in the Durmitor National Park in Montenegro. As for the engine damage - I do not know the cause as KTM replaced the entire engine without opening it up at the dealer - the damaged engine went straight to the factory. Like you said - I was overall lucky that this happened in Munich where I had the chance to get a replacement bike
@@MotoVibes wow . Tks for the info. Lucky all around then. Warranty and trip.
@@DaveDayve I was lucky that I had a good friend offereing me a ride - makes it easier to get over the engine damage ;-)
very beautiful experience!! how much is the cost of the rally and what date it is?
Thank you very much- the event is always in September. Registration is end of January and it’s booked out fast. Cost are approx 800 -1000 plus accommodation
awesome, what tyres are you using for this?
Thank you 😉 I had the Heidenau K60 Ranger for this event - which worked out great. Any other 50/50 tire would have been good too 😉
Andere Frage noch, gibt es vll ein Video zu den Details mit deinem Engine Breakdown? Würde mich interessieren. Was passiert ist, was schief gegangen ist 🙏
Ich hab noch vor ein Video zu dem Engine Breakdown zu machen - ich hätte auch schon meine KTM wieder retour, wenn ich jetzt wegen einer Knie OP nicht auf der Ersatzbank sitzen müssten für eine Weile. Die Kurze Antwort ist - ich weiß nicht was der genaue Fehler war - der Motor wurde komplett ersetzt ohne das ihn die Werkstatt geöffnet hat - in dem Fall war wohl genug kaputt das eine Reparatur des Motors nicht in Frage kam.
@@MotoVibes Oje,ganz gute Besserung! Das du bald wieder fit auf den Beinen bist ! 👍 Ich hatte wirklich eine übelste Saison mit der 1290er hinter mir, hier ein paar details ruclips.net/video/aILaMwP2z3w/видео.html deshalb die Frage. Meine Erfahrungen mit der Marke sind aktuell Grenzwertig, obwohl ich sie von der Emotion die sie vermittelt eigentlich sehr liebe. Verlässlichkeit ist trotz alldem dennoch an erster Stelle der MustHaves 😉
Also werd schnell wieder fit. Danke auch für deine Antwort und gute und unfallfreie Saison 24 😀🤠💯💪
@@m2kk Vielen Dank Mike - ich hab mir gerade das Video angeschaut - da hast Du ja einige Probleme gehabt mit der 1290 - das ist natürlich ärgerlich. Ich hatte den Vorgänger ja einmal als S und einmal als R mit jeweils 48TKM und 35 TKM ohne ein einziges Problem. Die 2022 ist ja auch erst 16 TKM gelaufen - bisher war der Motorschaden das einzige Thema - reicht aber auch 😂
Dir auch eine gute Saison und hoffentlich deutlich mehr Freude als Ärger mit der KTM - cheers, Oliver
Question: What side helmet camera do you use on your lefthand side?
I did a video on my vlog setup that should answer any questions you may have 😉 ruclips.net/video/d7eh1HCxp0c/видео.html
@@MotoVibes Excellent. Thank you for the link.
Are you reading off Chat GBT?
On minute 6:57, is that a double chain, double rear suspension motorcycle? And whats the brand?
That is a custom 2-wheel drive - we briefly talked to the maker but I cannot remember his name at the moment
@@MotoVibes Yeah thanks, I also found it on the internet ruclips.net/video/ylRCheJLTkc/видео.html
Moin, wieviel Kilometer hatte die 1290 runter und was war defekt bzw der Auslöser ?
Die KTM hatte 16 TKM gelaufen - die Ursache ist mir nicht bekannt, weil der Motor beim Händler ungeöffnet zurück ans Werk ging als Austausch für einen neuen Motor. Mein Verständnis bisher ist, dass was immer da passiert ist wohl sehr selten passiert - es sollte also kein Grund zur Sorge sein
@@MotoVibes danke für die schnelle Antwort, also eine KTM immer mit Garantieverlängerung 😉
@@m900samy hab ich Tatsache auch gleich wieder gemacht 😀Ist aber auch bei anderen Herstellern sicherlich keine schlechte Idee. Zum Zeitpunkt des Motorschadens war die Maschine allerdings noch innerhalb der 2-jährigen Garantie
@@MotoVibes dann viel Spaß mit der neuen 😎
What happened to the engine on your 1290 SAR?
I don't know what the actual problem was and never will - the engine was removed and replaced with a new engine. I am sure KTM will check out the engine when it is back in the factory but there close to zero chance that they will tell me what the cause was. I hope this was just one of those rare issues because so far I have been very happy with all the three 1290 Super Adventures that I have owned
@@MotoVibes I have a 2022 SAR as well as 2 other KTMs and absolutely love their motorcycles for years and every now and then I hear some of these problems and do like to know how they get resolved and if a permanent fix is in the recipe that keeps the orange flowing in my blood, I’m good.
@@cliftonsr I agree. Sorry I can’t give any more insights on this one - believe I asked 😉
🌺 'Promo SM'
So what happend to your motorcycle? Whats the problem?
I don't know what the actual problem was and never will - the engine was removed and replaced with a new engine. I am sure KTM will check out the engine when it is back in the factory but there close to zero chance that they will tell me what the cause was.
What an adventure, thank you for sharing!
@@davidwood974 thank you for watching 😉👍
Looks like too many bikes on one route, driving each other dust clouds, just a mayhem of different level over excited riders mixed up to a total mess
It’s not for everyone but I had a blast 😉
I wanted to share some thoughts about your videos. I have a mix of feelings. On one hand, your equipment is top-notch, with impressive tech gadgets, cameras, and microphones. However, I feel like there's something missing-You.
I'm not a fan of the overly perfect microphone or the polished sound production that disconnects you from your surroundings. It feels too artificial, lacking authenticity. The colorful reflective helmet glass or goggles also create a barrier between you and the viewers.
Despite the amazing drone shots and slick video editing, I find it hard to connect because there's not enough of your personality shining through. It's just a person in a black suit doing voice over (this is impression) from studio.
seems like you're trying to cram too many cool features together, even if they don't necessarily work well.
example:
the beautiful drone shots in stunning locations are somewhat overshadowed by the awkward camera positioning on the helmet. From a photography and videography perspective, it just doesn't quite work.
And regarding the motorcycle, KTM is known for its bold white and orange colors, but the black helmet, jacket, all outfit you're wearing doesn't seem to fit the brand's vibe.
While I appreciate the safety aspect of the airbag vest, how often in your career have you actually fallen at speeds where the Klim jacket wouldn't suffice? It seems like overkill for the typical riding experience.
Hey Lukasz - thank you very much for your feedback - especially since you kept it constructive and you gave examples on all of your points. For this reason I am happy to give some context.
For this season I will try to add a little more of the in-between scence and get more real people on camera without their helmets. I am in the middle of editing my Finland & Norway video from last year where I have a few more direct talks into the camera without the helmet on. I had more time to shot videos on that trip as I was riding solo. I am still learning and improving on the whole video production 😉
For the Transitalia Marathon video I was just happy to have enough footage to even create a video - it was hard to record anything given the pace we were going - I had to rely heavily on the narrative (voice-over) to get some kind of story line for the video- so far the riding has always been my first priority and I try to shoot as much as I can while riding.
The helmet camera has been something I have been thinking about and I tried out other locations like the typical chin mount. The angle is too low for shooting while I am sitting on the bike as most of the frame is covered by the cockpit and windshield. On a naked or sports bike that works better than on an adventure bike. The side mount is the best compromise of having the right viewing angle but it shows part of the helmet which I mind less than a view that is obstructed by the windshield - I am curious - what camera do you use and what motorcyle to you ride?
The KTM colors where an interesting remark. I do have a KTM jersey (a gift from KTM) that I wear in the enduro park. On my adventure bike I never liked too much orange - I like it as an accent color - the old bike was black/grey with orange accents - the new one I wanted something diffrent so I went with white and organge accents. I happy to wear all orange if KTM is willing to sponsor the bike until then I am not an offical brand ambassador😉
On the topic of airbags and safety: It everyone's individual choice how much or how little protection to wear. I am always maxed out with my gear because I a believe in: Always wear the gear that you would like to wear when you do crash. The airbag vest is the second most import safety gear right after the crash helmet and I have been wearing airbags vest for many years now - I am on my third airbag vest and it will not be the last. I have crashed with an airbag vest and I know they work, so have some of my riding buddies.
Anyway - thank you for commenting and watching - cheers, Oliver
