- The Northern California Backcountry Discovery Route (CABDR-North) is the 13th route developed by the BDR organization for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel.
The Northern-California Backcountry Discovery Route (CABDR-North) is a 940-mile, off-pavement route designed for adventure motorcycles. Starting in Mammoth Lakes, CA atop Minaret Vista, you’ll traverse the Great Sierra Nevada Range’s conifer forests, mountain meadows, and gentle slopes, concluding in the high desert of the Modoc Plateau just north of Alturas, CA at the Oregon border.
Ride blissful forested two-tracks, tackle rugged canyon and mountain roads, and ascend peaks to fire lookouts with unparalleled views. Explore quaint towns nestled in the High Sierra’s folds, with historic inns dating back to the 1880s. Beyond the thrill of the twisty roads and scenic vistas, you can delve into California history, discover relics of mining towns, and witness geological wonders.
The route caters to riders of varying skill levels and offers optional challenging sections plus three expert segments. Immerse yourself in Northern California’s appealing blend of adventure, history, and epic scenery.

Awesome. There is an irony that a DR650 is still probably the best bike for the job. LOL. That's the cool thing about the sport, $40K or $5k, everyone gets to go.
The DR 650 is honestly the best bike for every BDR across the nation.
I just bought a Vstrom 1050 as my two up touring bike, now I'm looking for a DR650 as my solo bike. Don't tell my wife! Apparently the answer to my problems is Suzuki, lol.
@@dw5523 I have a DR650 and DL650...both are great bikes.
We’re to honoured to be a supporter of this exciting BDR route. Thank you for the opportunity and keep doing great things for the moto community.
The people who own The Brewing Lair are my neighbors. Susan was in the clip of you guys buying your kombucha or whatever that was. Great people and great business, good to see the support!
I always appreciate watching a BDR film, all the hard work and dedication that goes into making this possible. Well done team 👏
I love how mad so many people are in the comments about the electric motorcycle. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, most of us never will. We all know they aren’t really that great for the environment, but guess what some people like them. Also most of us can’t afford a $20,000+ motorcycle. I will try it with my $500 1991 Honda xr250L. Hats off to all of the riders who completed the trip, especially on those heavy whales of motorcycles that kept tipping over and they kept picking them up and going. Great video with highlights for us to look forward to when we try it ourselves.
That Northern California BDR looks like one of the best .....congratulations to all the BDR staff that put in the blood , sweat and tears to make it all possible and share it with the rest of us!
Another stellar film by Sterling Noren
What a beautiful route. Great video quality too.
The guy from Zero was super cool and a great rider.
Trevor Doniak, and he is!
I like everything about these BDR rides except the sudden crashes. I'm glad nobody was seriously injured. Keep up the great work. 27:27
I love the crashes. It’s real.
I look at as a precautionary tale…
Absolutely epic route and it was such a treat to join on this filming expedition. Thank you for everything you do, BDR!
I really enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing the running videos
We all love you Noraly! Focus on yourself and your healing. We'll all be here to see your huge comeback. Take care of yourself awesome lady and, as always, thank you for bringing us along.
Wrong video. Noraly was in Africa until her crash. This is Northern CA.
Thanks for another great route. The filming continues to improve as well. I wish yall would have camped though. It always helps me in planning my trip.
Can't wait to ride this on the ol v strom 😁
Same. I need to stiffen up the springs on the wee strom first.
I rode through Foresthill a few months ago. I bottomed out way to easily.
Beautiful ride! Shoutout to the hero bikes, the dr650 / tw200! Dr650 is absolutely goated!
Long live California North!!
some of the stuff is clearly staged, but we all appreciate the hard work it takes to document a BDR trip.
Thanks again great video and made my night at work here at Boeing much nicer to sit and watch this the same day my buddy just bought a 2023 drz400. So getting in the motocamp state of mind. Taking him on the Idaho BDR this August.
Trev and Biff conquering the world!
Nice to see a DR650 on the BDR film!!
Congratulations guys and girls. Fantastic video. Such spectacular scenery. 👍🇦🇺
Between Downieville and Sierra City there is a USFS road that runs north through Poker Flat and ends in Quincy south of Lake Almanor. The area is known as The Lost Sierra. In the early 1980s that was my main riding area (1981 XL500). I now live on the US/CA border in North Central WA (also awesome riding) (I now ride a 2023 Norden 901 Expedition), but that Lost Sierra area is some of the best adventure riding I've ever done in my 40+ years of riding. There are literally dozens of routes in there. I got married in Downieville.
Fellow WA Norden rider here. We need to have a Norden rally up here there’s lots of us
@@traviscothre I Live above the town of Molson. I ride to Bonaparte Lake Resort throughout the summer. I also ride to Republic a lot. Always happy to meet up with fellow riders.
Awesome! The BDR I have been waiting for. I live south of Reno, NV so it's in my backyard. Great job!
Thanks so much guys for all of your work!
looks like a very memorial ride you folks enjoyed, thanks for sharing
Hey All, and especially Sterling! Wow great great great production. These productions just get better and better! All the best from Canada eh!
Thank you!
Outstanding VLOG many routes I've been on for years without knowing all the history, impressive on your giant machines I wouldn't even consider, thanks much for this production and let's hope the best for the future of our sport and speedy recovery for that wrist and leg !
Serious tracks! Some minor victims but great job capturing it all and telling the story Sterling!
1:04:45 Love how the GS just torques its way out. Good one all!
Thanks!!!
So good! This film actually makes me want to ride it! Good job, as always!
Another great route to add to the list!
Very well put together guys. Absolutely a blast to watch. Be nice to ride one day hopefully when my body is working 100%. Thank you. Looking forward to watching more videos
Awesome video. Cant wait to try out a few sections soon
Seeing the Zeros on the ride was great. I think it has done a great job of demonstrating that an electric bike can work great for many riders. And knowing that electric bikes will only get better from here.
Did you see any info on how they charged the Zero? I skipped thru some sections, but could not find anything about it on the sections I watched?
@@stevewort At the hotels they stayed at they used the wall charger, and at one place there was a L2 charger. When they stopped to eat the bike charged.
Wow, cool footage !
Very cool to see BMW and Zero supporting these projects! Zero gets a lot of hate from the "gatekeepers" about range, but they're out there with you guys literally proving their products. Doing these routes with the big bikes and electric bikes pretty much proves they can be done no matter what you're riding.
Yes Zero is out there. But still way too short a range to Even consider them.
unless you wanna actually camp and ride unsupported like real adv people do. We don't have support trucks and hotels every night lol
@traviscothre I'm with y'all, but BDR being a non-profit needs some support to cover the production costs.. Just think it's cool that Zero steps up.. Even if there are some obvious drawbacks to electric and it isn't the experience a lot of folks want.. At least they've proved the bikes can do it, even if you're not quite off the grid..
@@DirtObseXXion as much advertising as they do for bmw you'd think they're sponsored. also plenty of people on the youtubes put together adv moto movies without all the "overhead" and "production costs" I'm always a little skeptical of how "non-profit" these orgs are. I appreciate the routes but the movies have always been a little inauthentic to me. Maybe cuz I'm more of a dirtbag adv'r or a different generation.
@@traviscothreI think it’s the disconnect between ADV riders going out with whatever we can reasonably fit in the bike and going in a group of 2-5 vs these massive parades with support trucks, and hotels and stuff
Very well done !!
FInally! Been waiting for this since I missed the showing in Sacramento.
Another great production, and very entertaining.Too bad about the injuries but it looks like an epic adventure.
Thanx so much for making this BDR and beautiful documentary, it's really inspiring!!!
Fun to see, very nice route and scenery!!!
I'm living in the Netherlands and will make time to come over to ride and enjoy!!! Thanx to all of you!!
Btw, because of my level of experience will take a lighter mototbike, and am practicing.
Cu!
Just imagine if their egos would let them ride smaller bikes how much more fun it would be!
1,000th like, great trip and footage
So excited to see this come out today! And even more excited to see it ridden by electric motrorcycles.
will definitely try this out with my 1/2 ton. It seems to be large enough for it.
The Zero does have it's advantages, unfaltering torque for predictable climbing and doesn't stall out like ICE.
Thank you all for everything you do, and Thank You for the new route. 👍
Why'd he say it only gets 100-120 miles when it can easily do 150+ on a BDR? Ive gotten close to 200 miles range on a 50/50 offroad loop in western NC on a DSR/X from eMoto Powersports in Robbinsville, NC
Still waitin for that MTBDR.
🎉🎉🎉 Can’t wait 🎉🎉🎉to
This route really reminds me of the idaho. With it alt high point views, from trees to no trees. Tiny towns in the sticks. Love it. Bummer bike broke. Have not experienced a breakdown yet. 54,000 miles of no problems on the mighty DRZ....wait a minute...Dr650? What about the mighty little brother. The DRZ.. Yeah i get it. Low end torque.
Absolutely stunning scenery. Looks like a must do route!
Excellent footage and production. I grew up in Northern California so this is a slice of home. Thinking my CRF300L Rally will do great on these trails. Thanks to the BDR team for putting these together. 👍
Now that is a killer ride!
I always carry about a ten link section of chain (the leftovers of the new chain), about five master links, a breaker. I use the rivet type master links, I hate the clip type, though they will get you out of the woods.
I kind of wonder why RideBDR doesn't carry a trauma kit for sale on their site. The kits you can buy on line are usually strong on bandaids and tweezers and short on splints, tourniquets, and clotting agents. It would be nice if they could get a company that does those types of kits to make a motorcycle backcountry kit, designed for a BDR type trip. That way it would be small, tailored for the need, without silly things like aspirin (You don't give head trauma victims a blood thinner!) but with the things necessary to keep them alive, until help arrives and to reduce injury after the initial injury. I get that some things in a trauma kit have a best use by date, but if you partner with a company, the kits won't have to sit on a shelf and expire. Just a thought. Or even just an advert on your page for a recommended kit that has what you need, not a bunch of junk.
Have been contemplating getting a KTM/husky for my next bike, but the reliability is always a worry... this film did not alleviate those worries. Look like an awesome route though, can't wait to ride it!
They said the rad was punctured on one and the other looks like probably rear master cyl. on the other. Both are simple protection bits any adventure bike should get. Maybe the guy who forgot a master link was in charge of group bike prep? 😄
I would not hesitate to purchase another KTM/Husky. I love my 701 for BDR's. Kris (in the film) assisted with the scouting and bikes we scout on get punished with a lot of hard miles. The engine failure on my 701 was precipitated by a 400+mile high speed run down the I5 freeway in temps above 100 after scouting an issue at the far North end of the route. The bike over-heated, was diagnosed as a blown head gasket, but unknowingly damaged the water pump seal that unfortunately failed causing radiator fluid to instantly fill the crankcase and the engine just went.
I did not have a Sum 41 reference on my bingo card for this one.
I would love to do this in my lifetime.
Same.
It’s all fun and games until someone going that same speed is coming at you from the other direction.
I can only speak for the ktm 500's - and want to share for those that generalize about reliability and ktms, that the 500's are very reliable. Or I would never have bought a second one to keep for family and friend riders.
Sadly, the KTM reliability issues are only going to get worse with them continuing to add more and more bikes (and parts) to the Chinese assembly lines.
@@americandirtrider7662 dude that is the worst news i have heard, i just looked it up, it's true folks, as of dec 23 at least was the article i read. fu*k
Why choose a monster bike you cant handle 🤔
It looks like a challenging BDR. It took out 2 riders, and, what, 3 bikes. I'm impressed with those big rhinos (BMWs). The KTMs always seem to have problems... This video makes the Zero look problem free and perfectly capable, but I don't quite believe it for some reason; I think they probably sugar coated the electric experience. Thanks for the video, and hope to see more BDRs!
The one problem was a punctured rad and they didn't say what the other was. Seemed like maybe the rear brake cylinder or a hose got wrecked. I wish they'd show what happened. Don't skimp out on those protection bits...or be an idiot and not check your tool kit for a master link and then try to safety wire a chain together.
The thing about electros is they are actually more simple and reliable than an ICE, but the range and weight (well, it's about the weight of those big stuuupid heavy GS' with massive boxes) are killers. They definitely sugar coated it some (sponsored), at least it's not like Black Hills BDR-X film which is half commercial.
@@burddog0792 I can see the electrical components being more reliable than mechanical ones, but I'm dubious about the software side of things.
@@dw5523 Well if you're skeptical of computers and software on your bike, then enjoy riding Suzuki DR forever.
@@burddog0792 yep. That’s why I tend to buy older bikes. I have enough trouble with Microsoft updates and printers, lol. I’m cool being a Luddite.
@@burddog0792 I didnt see any info on how they charged the Zero, but I also skipped thru some of the slower sections, so may have missed it?
What is the Alpinestars Jacket Ron is wearing? Looks great.
The Bogota Pro! Check it out. The most comfortable jacket I've ridden in. Huge vents for when it gets hot and an insulated and waterproof liner that is cut large enough to be worn over the jacket. I think this jacket runs a bit small (more of a European cut) if you plan riding in the liner or say another layer under for additional warmth. I sized up to a Large. Seriously so comfy you will forget you are wearing a jacket at all.
Seems like a knobby-only route...as a first time BDR rider, am I wise to invest in knobbies (vs Trailmax Mission) for this one?
I'm doing this BDR later this year and I'm switching to Motoz RallZ rear and DualVenture front. I definitely want something more dirt oriented for this trip.
Suggestion is 6-7 days, and I get that is seeing ALL the waypoints, but what would be the number of days required to "just ride"? I know there's lots of variables, like filming and the size of the group, and everyone has different limits. But has anyone done it in fewer days? For reference WABDR suggestion is 5-6 days and I have done it in 3. What about giving us a number of riding hours (at a reasonable speed)?
It's impressive to see an electric bike do most of this stuff better than the GS's!
Wonder what they used the two 9500watt Predator generators for?
To make noise.
Are there non-technical go arounds?
Looks like you guys were over biked for much of the ride. Great video though and thanks for making the BDRs possible! I can’t wait to ride it!(CRF450L)
Man, y'all need to check weather and plan these rides in the best part of the year. I have done washington and idaho BDR's several times each. Only had 1 day if extremely light rain. Thats it. The rest of every single day i have ever ridden a BDR, it eas sunny and warm. Maybe i should go next time and bring some of my luck with.
Definitely could have used your "Luck" on this route! The original filming was scheduled for the end of June but because of record snow fall was pushed back to July, but there was still too much snow. The earliest we could get the entire filming crew and guests together was end of September. As it turned out we had one day of snow and rain, the remainder of the trip was perfect riding weather.
Its great to see a manufacturer support the BDR, unfortunately Zero isn't an option for a real BDR trip. He stated it would get 100-120 miles, if the BDR is 940 miles and takes 7 days, the average is 134 miles per day. Something isn't adding up and the BDR folks are not being honest about the Zero. If the cost was much lower it could be more appealing but it just cant compete with a combustion bike.
Also I prefer to camp a few nights on the trail. Don't think anybody I ride with would want to listen to a generator all night even if some fool packed one in.
They charged it during lunch stops...
I would not hesitate at all to take a Zero DSR-X on this BDR. But, you do have to account for the extra time it takes to charge. Filming a route takes more time then an average rider would take to ride it. Regarding the mileage "not adding up" the Zero's were able to charge mid day on a number of occasions during lunch stops and overnight when we stayed in Lodging. In the film I believe it's stated an average of 6-7 days to complete the route, but if riding an electric bike I would probably take an extra day or two to account for the time it takes to charge. The good news is high speed charging stations were available throughout the route in small local towns (with more on the way).
@@ronwest90277 I have no doubt the Zero can do the CABDR North. I appreciate the BDR films, they inspire more people to get out and ride them. I don't like when a picture/video is created in peoples mind that isn't a reality and mainly for entertainment purposes. What you stated about the Zero wasn't really made clear in the film. I would like to see Zero do well but I'm a realist. I think they would get more credit by not having the appearance (at least in my mind) that some concerns are addressed or shown vs seeming like they are just selling a motorcycle. I appreciate your contribution to motorcycling and making the film happen.
@@Jeremybaland Thanks for reply, but I'm still a bit confused by what was not made clear in the film regarding the Zeros? My response was to your statement that the BDR film was not being honest. Possibly you are assuming we could not "top-off" the charge while riding during the day. We specifically included a scene from a lunch stop in Taylorsville where the bikes were charged from a Solar Charging station while we had lunch. I will grant you that may not have been clear, without counting morning briefings shown in the film, that we took 9 days to film this route. Filming always takes longer then simply riding the route from start to finish. Additionally, because of the record snow the filming of the route was pushed back from June to Sept/Oct when the days are much shorter and we had fewer daylight hours to film.
Thumbnail says ORBDR?
Yeah i see that too.
@@shastamite2 Guess you'll have to ride both back to back! 😎
We've uploaded a new thumbnail and are just waiting on the RUclips servers to update. Thanks for the note!
@@RideBDR No problem. I live in Norcal and would love to try this BDR as my first one. OR is definitely the second one ill try.
Well, I see now why ktm's had that reputation! Lol. 3 out of 3.
basic rule, any feel good moments, isn't wrong to be recorded
This video does a great job showing how much of a hassle an electric bike would be on the BDR.
I wonder why that basically new Husqvarna would already have needed a rebuilt engine. Odd. Two 690s down.
The bike is a 2017 with over 18K miles of flawless operation, but overheated on a 400+ mile slog down the I5 at high speed and 105 degrees after scouting all summer. (overheat indicator had unfortunately failed). When Sterling and I scouted for the gps filming locations ( a couple weeks before we filmed the documentary) the bike kept loosing coolant and was diagnosed as a blown head gasket and the head was replaced prior to filming. Apparently, there was also an issue with the water pump seal that failed during filming that filling the crankcase with coolant and the engine just went. Really my fault for not stopping and checking fluid on that trip back to SoCal that probably set the water pump seal up for failure. Love the bike, just keep an eye on the fluids to keep it from overheating in the first place.
That’s good to hear. As I’ll be switching from the 501 to the 701.
That was probably the best BDR film yet. Well done.
Ohio please!!! 😁
How did the Zero’s do, what was the range and how where they charged, any issues with range in the middle of the trails?
The Zeros did amazing. They had never tested the bikes before on a 940 mile, 9 day trip through the conditions we encountered. The range, off highway, was about 120 miles, which is about the max we could do as filming takes a lot more time then just riding the route (Typically 6-7 days) and days are shorter in the fall when we filmed. The bikes were charged at night, either plugged into a regular wall socket or at high speed charging stations available on the route. During the day at lunch or filming stops the bikes were able to 'top-off' a charge so we could keep with our filming schedule. The Zero's have a regenerative function when riding downhill and there are a lot of elevations changes on this route! When riding electric it definitely takes additional time and planning out your range and distance to the next charge point. Cell phone apps are available to assist with that planning.
The zero bikes are cool, I am not there with electric vehicles yet. I think the battery technology needs to catch up (solid state battery) but it’s nice seeing options out there for those who don’t mind the charge…..
electric Zero DSR! it all depends on how big of a hurry you in. if your not in a hurry, why the hell are you stressing so much?
Zero needs to get applause for their bike's performance. Some of the "ready to race" bikes didn't make it through. This is a tough route for any bike. I like gas and electric, as long as it has two wheels.
I feel bad for the folks that buy these Zeros thinking they can do these BDRs without the kind of support that these riders have.
48:37 nearly 200 miles of range. Nice! That's more than enough for an entire day!
The bikes are too big! 690 and smaller would be much more enjoyable. Travel light and don't haul all that crap with you (the max segment of NorCal BDR is about 130 miles).
Cali is beautiful, I hope they embrace freedom soon
100-120 miles range lmao
I'll stick with my Kove 450 and its 300+ mile range.
@@BraapTales right,
I've got a norden and i can get 260 ish
On the very low end, riding very aggressively. My DSR/X gets 150-200mi range on the BDR's I ride in western NC. Then recharge during a break for the rest of the afternoon. Often, I can't cover enough miles in a day to even need a recharge until night time.
You shouldn't speak on things you have never experienced.
@@austina4189 ya I’m out west we here we can do 500 plus miles a day easily plus we have actual elevation. So I stand by my statement
@@traviscothre 500 miles offroad in a day? Even if you rode for 24 hours straight, that's an average of 21mph. Not physically possible without riding 20+ hours. The math says you are incorrect.
Although I appreciate the massive development efforts the pandering to corporations is getting thin. It’s getting a real “exclusive” feel to these routes and how they are presented. Don’t forget the beginner or intermediate riders with basic bikes who deserve the opportunity to do these to the fullest without having to feel inferior or incapable of enjoying it. This film actually makes me not want to ride it. “All killer and no filler”? No thanks. Not my idea of a BDR.
Great route minus the e bikes thumbs down! Lol
Great route. Need to stop pandering to cooperate agendas like BMW, Zero etc. to much advertising in a film about adventure riding. Early films were more rider-trail oriented. Now it’s mostly corporate oriented. Need new talent as well, not just financial contributors. Where are the local folks on DRZ’s, WR 250’s, KLR’s? At least half of your crew should be local riders without a corporate agenda to push “big bikes” for BMW. Electric bikes from Zero. Barely 100 mile range… no serious off road rider would take a long trip on a bike with a 100 mile range. Get back to your roots! Non profit, for the riders!
I agree. Electric bikes are not the future.
I see your point but BDR is a company that needs funds to pay its staff. They have sponsors. There will be plenty of guys on DRs and KLRs that get to enjoy this labor.
Yeah fuck the companies that allow them to pay for making these routes
@@AT2021Rockeryou’re right, electric bikes are not the future because they’re already here for us to ride today. And just like with any new technology, it will only get better with time.
@@bfe671 Kinda like Betamax and Blue ray, oh wait...
I really wish you'd stop making these videos infomercials for Zero motorcycles. I want to know about the routes not the bikes you're riding.
I have no problem with sponsors for projects like this, but let's be honest here. It doesn't matter your thoughts on electric, they do have their place, but out in the middle of the wilderness is not it. 100 mile range is in ideal conditons, below freezing morning temps is not ideal, altitude and hill climbs are not ideal, I bet the riders on the Zeros would've sold their souls for some engine braking on those steep downhills. The BDR producers took a check from Zero knowing full well they had no place in it and would get criticized for it. Its not genuine. Its no longer a conservation effort, its a commercial...
....they have engine braking. And I'm curious to know what you think happens to batteries at high altitudes. Perhaps you are confusing batteries with jetted carburetors.
Temps got pretty low (enough to snow) and the Zero's did well. Altitude has (to my knowledge) no effect on on battery and the bikes have "motor braking" that mimic a 4-stroke engine and during a decent, and there were plenty on this route, the motor is capable of regenerating power back into the batteries. I'll grant you that with the limited range riding a Zero on the CA-BDR North will take longer and more careful planning for charging, but it can be done on this BDR.
I'm surprised the zero's made the entire trip
I have seen more carnage watching these BDR videos over the years. These BDR filming rides must invoke bad karma and recklessness amongst the riders. Ive ridden with groups all over roads like these loaded and unloaded and yes even a couple beers loaded and haven’t seen any disasters like this. Not saying it can’t or won’t happened but my god these filming rides seem to be snakebitten.
Probably too much time focusing on corporate sponsors, and not enough time focusing on the road.
Electric bikes? Hey dump your GS1250s . No thanks😊
Riding a BMW that rides itself is in no way shape or form an adventure to me.
lol California, what part of the route goes thru the millions of homeless and bum encampments.
STOP THIS NONSENSE! A Zero in the backcountry? 🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t even bother to watch the video, too commercial, with corporate tie-ins. I know you have expenses, but your “commercials” distract big time
What a ridiculous mambo jambo electrical hype. No camping because electric, but so much adventure. This is just a marketing exercise that could be funny, but is just sad.
It's a real turn off for a "non-profit" to be parroting the market material of electric motorcycles companies. The next thing you know they'll be trying to tell you how great it is to cook "Beyond Meat" burgers in the backcountry. I'm pulling my support until this behavior changes.
The guy said at the 15:06 mark that they just don't make this kind of riding on the East Coast. Well apparently he doesn't know what he is talking about. If you don't believe me. Come to Tennessee and take a tour with East Tennessee Moto Adventures in the fall. You will take a 6 day 5 night 680 mile ride through some of the most beautiful scenery that GOD ever created. Starting from the Cumberland Plateau and ending on the Cumberland Plateau going through beautiful valleys and up to the great Smokey Mountains and back to the Plateau.
