KTM 790 Adventure in the Balkans. In-depth Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 ноя 2019
- It's time for a new Adventure! The star is the KTM 790 Adventure. Not the R, but the standard version. Is it suitable for a real-life trip? Is it comfortable enough? We tried to find out the answer, so we took this 790 Adventure from Austria to Bucharest via the Balkans.
Here's the route: Bled, Zeljava Air Base, Zadar Riviera in Croatia, Mostar, Lukomir, Abandoned Railtrack near Sarjevo, Durmitor National Pakr. Just followed the TET but made some detours from time to time.

To the next balkan adventure come to Greece too! Great job!
such a nice track! could you please share a link on Google maps with the exact route? I dream to repeat it one day
Hi, awesome vlog! May I ask, from your experience (DriveMag Riders and other bikers), would Africa Twin be better on those rocky tracks we see starting around 11:00, please? It would be awesome BTW to put into comparison adventures bikes (Yamaha, Honda, KTM, BMW...) on very different tacks in the same vlog. Thanks!
Christian aiiight Respect ! But why was the front brake scratching all the time? Normal? Missing That turkish/bosnian coffee...
👍✌️
We will miss so much those fantastic adventures 😪
You left a legacy Cristian!
RIP my friend!
What?
Yes. A real loss to the cycling community.
I learned a few weeks ago about his accident and death.
This is a great loss for the motorcycling community.
Godspeed my friend.
And my condolences to his family and friends.
Regards from Mexico to my fellow motorcyclists...take care.
What happened?
@Matthew Black From news agency webpage:
"The 31-year-old motorcyclist, from Otopeni, was on a trip across the country, and finally arrived on a curve, on the afternoon of Friday, July 16, on a provincial road from Şaru Dornei, Suceava.
The road was wet, and Cristian Predoi lost control of the BMW motorcycle, left the road and hit the car, then was thrown over a fence.
Although he survived the impact, Predoi began to complain of illness towards the hospital. He died of internal injuries."
Such a great review. We miss you dearly.
I miss this guy's reviews!
Shame this guy is no longer with us, it was one of the best channels, R. I. P brother
One of the best motovlog i've seen !
Being alone and taking all those shots and that too on off road tracks.. Hatts off..
Learnt a lot from this video :)
Edited : Your video popped up on my feed and i am glad i clicked on it 🏍️✌️
He wasn't by himself...look at 30:10 in his mirror,there is another guy as well.
He wasn't by himself...look at 30:10 in his mirror,there is another guy as well.
@@mistery00t29 Hardly matters if he is carrying his team as well !
Quality and the videography matters. Being a Motovlogger i know how tough it is to get these shots while riding and i think he did a great job !
Looking forward for some more adventurous vlogs ✌️🏍️😊
For about three or four days, a friend of mine joined me for a part of the route. :)
@@DriveMagRiders very nice route...very good footage...Mostar is beautiful...
Love the honesty in your videos, from a normal mans perspective!
Or normal person.....
Ya bro
@@jcoats5529 Pretty sure he's a man.
@@rockafella1690 I misread the comment. Opps.....
A great guy... Rest in peace dear! We'll miss you and your posts.
Riding and shooting the whole review alone is quite something! As a fellow youtuber I have a lot of respect for you... also amazing motorcycle!
Can't believe i watched 40 minutes video within seconds . How ? I didn't even skip 10 seconds !! Brilliant camera work and engaging story telling bro. Keep it up.
The very best video of a real world ride on an adventure bike I've seen. The scenery in the Balkans is simply stunning in autumn. Thank you. You go to a lot of trouble to make these videos.
Happy to see you channel growing so fast :) you deserve it! Great content 👍
I’ve been following your videos for years and this has to be one the best yet. I could book a trip to this area just based on your amazing video. Well done my friend, safe travels.
This is one of the best adventure/review videos I have seen! Your video production is excellent, you give good views on the motorbike and you maintain a good sense of humour. Subscribed 😊
Now that was worth my time. What a good ride report / Travel log. Thanks for the HARD work. Look forward to exploring your channel.
By far the best thing I’ve seen in RUclips in the whole 2019! Happy new year!
First of all going on such an adventure alone then filming it very beautifully, setting up cameras everywhere and filming it with all the adventure. Hats off to you man 🙌, the journey was beautiful and review was very well put together. You guyes deserve to grow. All the best ❤️
This is a great video. Well done sir. So much respect for doing this on your own and doing it so well! Hat off to you!
Its really one of your best videos so far!!! Thanks and take care 👍
Loved every minute sir. Perfectly narrated, filmed, edited and everything else too.
This was a vey good video production. The travel section was really - the views of the countrysideur overview of the countryside. It was all good. The second part: the review of the bike, riding in differ road (on/off) conditions and finally your thoughts on the bike. It was all good. I'm waiting for the next one. ;-)
Splendid job! Conrgrats! I’ve watched it at once with great pleasure! Thanks buddy...You deserve the success...👍👏👏👏
MAMAAAAH!!! My stomach jumped when you almost lost the front end! Good save! Also that pup was perfect. I would have found a way to take it home!
Cristian your videos just keep getting better and better, by far one if not the best channel on bikes on RUclips, specially been waiting for this video, and very looking forward to the future comparison one. Congratulations and Best regards from Malaga, Spain
So very good to see you out and about in your favored environment riding something you obviously are enjoying immensely - I can't help but want to venture out and to do that with one of these! In any case, much thanks for all you do!
Just when I saw this video pop up on my home page, I knew it would be special and I wasn't disappointed. You make the best motorcycle review videos. Period.
I’ve watched this vid three times already and I may watch it a few more times.Fantastic biking, filming, communicating, everything! Thank you!
Brilliant! Great capture, commentary and sense of humor. I'll be riding the TET in 2021 on my 790R. Thankyou.
I've watched this video so many times only yesterday and today found out cristian has passed in a motorcycle accident ! I will miss his videos, he was the best on RUclips. RIP
I'm only half way through this video and have to comment already .... it' fantastic! The fall colours, your artistic editing and the incredible staging and drone footage. Wow! Epic stuff..... now back to the second half ;)
I love your filmmaking style! This was one of the most beautiful and entertaining things I’ve watched in a long time. Amazing cinematography and editing. Thank you!
Great video, candid conversation is appreciated. Photography was outstanding, by yourself, amazing. I love KTMs, I have had six, currently have a 690 E. Everyone brags on the R, and I am sure it is nice for and advanced rider that is tall. Real world I think this is the real adventure bike for most of the people, plus you can still touch the ground. Some of your rocky sections would have been tougher because you could only tippy toe on the R so less stable. I am 70, been ridding over 50 years and most of it in the dirt FYI. What I like about this over my 690 is the range and comfort for longer trips. I ride the 690 in 90% dirt. Excellent review and good luck to you.
Thanks a lot for this great review. Your movies are always nice and interesting. Congratulations, very professionell work.
One of the best off-road videos I have stumbled upon so far, mindblowing scenic views all the way. You have ridden some of the dangerous and unexplored places on Balkans by a bike. Really hats off to you man for bringing us this video and your honest opinion on the bike. With this ride, I have decided what to buy for my adventure tours. Thanks a lot to you keep posting keep sharing and keep us awe-striking.
What an amazing place to ride. The odd fuel tank arrangement on this KTM is starting to grow on me. My main worries would be how long the engine lasts between rebuilds and dealer support! Great watch.
Wow, just wow! This is so beautifully shot and filled with amazing locations. That decommissioned air base was killer, I want to go there and blast out of the tunnel! Ha ha, I think I’m going to end up watching this video several times over the winter when the roads are too wet and messy to ride. Thanks for this, amazing work as always!
Thank you so much.
If you have a death wish go there.😁 Now seriously,please inform yourself or find a local to show you. Mined to oblivion.
Green Lightning Ha ha, I’m on the other side of the world, probably will never ride within 5000 miles of there. Thanks for the heads up though!
Excellent video again, thanks for introducing me to the TET...definitely on the bucket list now...keep up the good work.
Dude(s) - I LOVE your videos. I watch them relentlessly. You guys make me want to move back to Europe just so I can be your friend and go riding. Keep up the awesome work.
Wonderful video in more than one ways. Great shooting, use of camera/drone, driving, describing...Loved it!
24:00, hahaha! Fabulous motovlog. Your aerial shots are excellent. Well done!
Agreed! Looking forward to the next installment
What a great Vlog! Thanks for putting so much effort in the video! Soooo much different shots, just WOW! btw: I love that crazy, funny dog 🤪
Love your work and enthusiasm, great vid as always. 👍
Love the dog!!! Get a side car and bring him/her along!
Fantastic video, beautiful landscapes and a honest review of the 790. Congrats!!
Amazing review n mind blowing locations , thanks for sharing this with us n taking all the pain n efforts to do this quality of work.... thank u 🙏🏻

Awesome video. Thanks for setting up all of the techie shots!
A nice balance between riding, viewer entertainment, amazing presentation and a positive personality!
Another fantastic video with added value drone footage. Congratulations!!!
Thanks for a lovely video that also edited beautifully with a rocky area and lovely views.
You deserve so many more subs that you have. The quality of your productions are on par with Fort9. Superb!
Great video man! Probably you are one the best motorbike reviewers in hole Europe. Regards from Spain!
Brilliant video. Beautiful scenery. Thank you!
Really enjoy your videos I'm a bit too old to be doing that but it's like being with you watching thanks for the great videos
Beautiful video.. I truly appreciate the way this video has been made on a solo ride. I do lot of solo rides and I can see how much it will take to do a video during a ride. But this video is absolutely beautiful. This video covered all terrains one would come across a motor bike trip. We would easily make out how the bike performed.. covering every countries natural beauty and beautiful explanation. Learnt a lot today with this video.. thank u so much...
Excellent video, good and honest review of the bike and lovely adventure. What more to ask?
Great work!!
One of the reasons i ended up buying the 790s. Honest review from a honest guy. Love your content! Cheers!
That is quality content !!!! Can't wait for the next videos !!! Keep up the good work !!!
Hey Crazy gùy 😆 Amazing footage . Can't believe u di It alone! Can't get my eyes off of It.👍
Great video and some incredible riding!!! You all definitely helped in my decision to buy the 790S over the Africa Twin and I haven't a single regret. You've all even inspired me to start my own channel testing it out in the South Florida swamps. =D
Love the video, especially the awesome drone footage!
Watched alot of your videos and they are honest and great. Looking at buying a 790s or r.
Keep up the awesome work that you are doing. 👍🏻🇸🇪
Incredible video! Spectacular views, und very adventurous.... i felt the tension with you in the mountains ( i was scared for you!). Also ,great review of the 790. Not the first time i heard that the 790 the best off-road bike is. Keep up your high quality work and thank you ! Looking forward to the next video.
superb stuff .. to do that trail on your own and still get so many shots and document the experience so well ..that takes alot of effort and dedication ..so super going .. Full marks on effort and presentation
Thank you Cristian for this very nice and informative video! I am buying a KTM Adventure S and getting it in June. Your video is one reason for I decided for the S model rather than the R model.
you go to great lengths to create these videos. what beautiful places you take us. excellent review. be safe !
One of the best trips I did watch, you are so luky 🤩
Waiting to do so with Ténéré 700
Great video. You looked like you had an awesome time. Thanks!
Beautifully put together Adventure Travelogue in the 790 Adv. Some amazing country and tracks. You’ve got great riding and video skills. I love Goran the black dog. Safe Riding brother!
Giving me even more ideas of what is possible to do in this part of Europe 👍🤩
It is probably one of the greatest video you’ve donne😎😉
Keep on... 👏✌️
Excellent vid ... I was in that part of the world, not the TET though, on my Africa Twin in September and you brought back some fantastic memories ... It must have been tough saying good bye to Goran .. He was very cute ..
Yeah, unfortunately I couldn't take him with me.
Great as always! and very complete, thanks!!
Brilliant video again!!!! Thanks DriveMag Riders.....
Great video. Big effort. For me me also one of the most enjoyable watch. Like the dog clip. Well done.
One of the best videos so far on this channel and they keep getting better and better, those aerial shots!!
Done similar route but on tarmac couple years ago and the offroad version looks very very attractive. Is there any way to see your route/tracks?
Great stuff!! Your blog is my favorite and this is one of your best videos, well done! Do you mind sharing which drone camera you are using?
I just found your channel!! Great vid! Thanks for the honest in out on the bike and all the amazing footage of the TET in the balkans. It’s always nice to know what to expect.
By the way is your front tyre in backwards? Looks like the treat pattern should be facing the other direction like the rear. I might be mistaken though
James Hooker, the front tire is in the proper position for braking traction.
Your tests are the best. Amazing landscapes, very detailed bike information and very funny situations.
I love this bike. Is it better than the F850 Adv?
Thank you!!!
Quite an adventure. Man get a buddy to go with you yikes. Great bike, great riding and drone shots. Well done! ✊🏼🏁
Driver mag is the best in what they do
... sending love & respect from Kolkata India
I’ve been a subscriber to this channel for years and just read some comments that Christian died. So heartbreaking. Loved watching your videos my friend. RIP and God bless
Still the best channel for motorcycle info, rides and reviews!! Really wish you guys had the R version to put against the F850gs and T7.
Really excellent video, scenery and how you produced it is fantastic :-)
Awesome video! Thanks for being so detailed!;
Amazing video ! Very nice sceneries, also from drone, it must be not easy to film some parts when you was alone on this trip. Your bike is perfect and very nice ! Thank you for this nice video and review !
I miss this man's adventure
He really loved motorcycle adventure.
May him rest in peace.
Cool ride, man. Looking forward for the next adventure.
Great video with so many beautiful sceneries.
Just love your videos! Keep up the good work 😃
Excellent video! Very well put together.
Sadly missed Cristian - at least you have left these great videos as a legacy. RIP to a great rider.
Dude, best motovlog ever seen!
As always an excellent film. Really makes me want to ride these trails.
The next great video! I watch yours films with big pleasure- you speak interestingly and with passion, scenes are great. You are doing a really good job ! And 790? It similar to mine 990 adventure S- its specific bike with a lot of disadvantages like bad wind protection, no fuel gauge and some more weird things. Is tall like horse, engine is like petard- full acceleration or slow down, but.. I love him, and in my opinion there is no concurrent in class and give more fun than all bikes i have had for 10 years.
All best for you!
