NEW KTM 1190 ADVENTURE Review, Drag Race, & First Ride Impressions o
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- How does the KTM 1190 ADVENTURE compare versus budget rivals in the Kawasaki KLR 650, Suzuki VStrom, and the class rival BMW R1200 GS? We give our first impressions with a candid, unbiased review, drag race, and mini adventure complete with highway, dirt, whoops, jumps, and general overland shenanigans :)
We answer the question, is it REALLY worth the money to get this over the KLR or other Japanese budget adventurers? Ferris Bueller perfectly sums it up...

The music is too loud. It is hard to hear what you say.
I remember watching this before I bought my 1190, just watched it again. Great video! -D
Great video but the music is very annoying
By far the best 1190 review vid out there. So much fun to watch
Chris Puder Thanks man! I saw that you're selling the 690 and snagging a 990? Man I can't wait to see what you can do on that thing!
The laughter between you two is contagious. Awesome video
Now I want one. Stupid money thing!
Jake TheGardenSnake For real, right?! After I twisted the throttle on that thing I suddenly HATED being a full-time tuber! hahahah :D I was like, "I gotta forget this crap and be a doctor or something so I can afford wunna these!"
Awesome Video!! Always have wanted to ride a KLR 650 and a KTM 1190. So stoked you got a drone!!
WillRide Yeah it adds a lot! It's pretty difficult to get it out there and get it all set up, though!
Yup, this video sold me. Bought on 6 weeks ago. Keep up the great vids.
i just bought the R,it’s amazing,i don’t want to get off it, a truly awesome ride.
Speed Play Very nice! I can't wait until ***** lets me ride his again ;)
Awesome video! This bike is in my top four dream bikes. Glad you had the chance to experience it, hopefully it'll be in a lot of videos!
AkDeluxeRider Ah yeah, with ***** owning it, I'm sure it'll be in plenty of great rides!
The Goat with an upgrade! Glad to see that but I'm sure going to miss the wounded duck fest. Another great video Everide. Keep'em coming!!
MaMark lol I loved the wounded duck fest! :D I've still got my KLR with no big money in sight, so we'll still have KLRs for the foreseeable future! :D
eveRide...how much was it ? GoatCabeza...well, I told my wife...Both...HAHAHAHA ! Freakin had me dying...so funny...best part of vid...Thank you for that guys...made my day
I bought mine last December and I know that feeling. I do need to change the tires and add as much protection as I can afford. I'm far from being rich but every penny is worthy. I'm very happy for Goatcabeza's. I'm very glad you are still making great videos for us. You have a blessed life.
MrKromy67 I definitely do, and will! At least until my money and time run out :D
I just bought a 2012 KTM 990 Adventure, and I was laughing and smiling just as much as you were when you were riding his 1190. I know the feeling.
Best ADV video I've seen in a long time ... Gave me big smiles !
Aaron Allan Thanks Aaron! Hopefully I can keep it up!
Thats so crazy GoatCabeza got a 1190, I'm looking at them tomorrow in Draper, been thinking of getting one for the past few months just been waiting on stupid insurance nonsense haha... Congrats ***** on the new epic bike!
***** Oh man! First MrDuhfactor , then *****, and now you? Haha I won't have anybody left to ride with that I can keep up with! :)
Great review guys! Most excellent footage in all aspects - drone, Brazilian booty, gravely roost, etc. It takes skill to handle a rig of that size and I don't possess that, yet. Gotta love watching Chris Birch on the 1190, too!
osimnod Yeah ***** usually rides the KLR just as fast as I can ride the DRZ, he's good at handling those big bikes!
Awesome video, lots of fun guys!!
Congrats Mr ***** !!!! May it give you many wonderful carefree and fun miles!
eveRide ADV that drone shots look awesome!
And just so you know, that 255kph is just under 160mph
Farmer Andy lol I'm also bad at the calculations, but I knew he was a bit high maybe :D
Great video and that drone is so sick!! Brent has purchased such a sweet machine!! Man, when you got on the throttle, you were freaking gone baby gone! Excellent job guys!!
NessedUpProductions Dude and it wasn't even pinned! IT WASN'T EEEEVEEENNNN PINNNNNNED MANNNN! lol!
Lol!
I REALLY rarely comment on videos, but awesome job,man! Your cinemas are getting to beautiful!
Tudor Stupariu Thanks so much! I hope to put in a lot more effort on upcoming videos, as well :)
Drone makes things very professional. Tried that bike and did a review last year, all on road!!! What a let down eh? The whole time I was like "get me off of this blacktop" because the suspension and CG was so spot on, I knew it would blast some mean fire roads. I still thought it would struggle in the tight slow gnarlies though. Doing a donut on any of those big bikes takes a massive set. One of the best reviews of anything I've seen mate.
sixthisoverdrive Thanks so much! Yeah ***** is a seriously lucky dude! That bike is like ludicrous speed!
you keep uping your game on these videos excellent work. also i legit LOL at you doing ludicrous speed on the beast. Enjoy the beast Goat!
ok Sumner Yeah for real! After riding that bike, riding any other bike I'll be left thinking, "What have we got on this thing, a Cuisinart?" lol FRAG-AFE Dude that KTM goes frickin PLAID! :D
Haha left wanting
Yeah, I already knew I wanted one... But they cost more than my car AND my current bike combined!
And the car will need to be replaced soon (is 210k miles a lot?) . I need a truck... Then a new bike
WHAT THE??? I didnt know the Goat was getting one of these! You are spot on ***** , you can now travel the country with ease and still have a ball off road.
Remember, if you havnt already, to get an after market air filter (regardless of what the dealer tells you). The rest of the bike is amazing!
Interestingly, someone asked me recently what bike I thought I would get next. I told them I hadnt even thought about it. I cant see me ever replacing this bike!
Nerb1 Dude you and ***** are some lucky dudes! I was on it for all of 5 minutes and almost wanted to change careers just to get one for myself! :)
They are even a weapon on the street while on street rubber. A true alrounder.
troyboy986 Yeah these things are crazy!
The Drone shots are awesome I'm so jealous. like I said on facebook I love the big KTM's I am trying to get a 1290 SuperDuke because its just awesome. Great review, and they are that fast.
I spit my drink when you said 150 horses. Holy cow!
Frickin Jim I know, right? I can barely handle 30!
It's actually only 120-ish, but is still plunty of power.
@@GrySgtBubba There's not a lot of wheeled vehicles on the road that are faster than you, period. trust me, they've tried.
Man that flying camera thing really kicked it up a notch for your channel. The KTM looked awesome. Congrats to him for getting his dream ride and what a sweet ride. I think if a person really wants a KTM OR BMW whatever the case is they should maybe wait and save until they can get there dream bike. My reason behind that I have notice that people will end up spending more money in the long run trying to build a KTM out of lets say a DRZ and they still won't be happy no matter what mods they add. I have seen people do it with bike,cars, trucks, and even tractors but then you have people that don't really care what's written on the tank as long as it is dependable and cheap. It goes back to your video on which dual sport is right for you if I may add my favorite video of yours. Stay safe
Tankerman Yeah you nailed it, there, too! For me, I don't know if I'd do well with a KTM. I'm just too cheap! I'd feel nervous about crashing it and the repairs. Even if I had a million bucks, I'd still probably be very happy with a bike that I know I can beat on and "love" a lot with no remorse :)
If I win the $ Lottery$ Tyler,........ Your getting one,.....wait!,....." We're" getting them...........😎👍✌️🍁
Dude. Very good video. Loved the drone footage.
Kyle Hutchinson Thanks! It's surprisingly tough to get good shots with that thing!
The music in the intro is awesome. Nice reivew of the KTM.
thanks for the review. lower the music audio volume about 50% at the intro. next time
Next time?
This was 8 freaking years ago.. lol
Love the new footage from the drone, looks top notch and very professional.
Blake Whitton Thanks! I gotta balance the props and get the gimbal worked out so it's super smooth, but I'm definitely pleased with the results it's getting right now :)
That big Katoom rocks! But she's a class too rich for my blood. I'll stick to my KLR and going slow all over the place! Great vid Mr. EveRide! Just in case no one has told you this....you kind of have a knack for this vlog stuff. Keep it up!
Holy cow on that beautiful drone footage!! Looks amazing!
TWiGs ADV Thanks Chris! Oddly enough that thing is really hard to fly & get good footage!
the aerial cinematography looks amazing well done!
snoowbe9103 Thanks! That thing is surprisingly hard to fly and get decent footage!
Great video, thumb up!
By the way, images from the drone are spectacular! Really another planet, amazing.
Giulio Buccini I can't wait to get out into some more diverse terrain and really showcase the beautiful area we have down here. It's awesome to get a new perspective!
good luck with the new machine looks nice.
oldmanriding Ah it's not mine, it belongs to *****... but he did let me ride it :D
Oh man you are funny, that wife thing was hilarious thanks to your exceptional editing skills.
VeeDubJohn OH man we laughed so long when he said that!
I want to see an ktm adventure 1190 r with sumo rims for commuting. With the advanced electronics its super safe. I am thoroughly impressed with the electronics.
Fun honest banter + great video = awesome!!!
eveRide ADV ***** Another awesome video guys. Love watching you two ride together. Brent that new machine is gorgeous and fits you perfectly man, Look forward to more adventures.
***** Keith we need you to come down here some time with Dr. Dual Sport on the GS so we can do a strom vs gs vs 1190 showdown!
eveRide ADV Maybe one day... I'm afraid myself and the Vstrom are out gunned by the likes of @Dr Dual Sport and *****, not to mention their awesome machines.
Although, I've seen a very talented rider make the Vstrom dance, it's still no match for the 1200 GS and 1190 KTM.
It would be like watching High School football playing against College.
Keep your videos rolling, we all enjoy them! Hope you've finally gotten over that funky crud you had earlier.
Great vid guys, this just sold me on the 1190. Cheers!
+Thomas Hunt Accroding to Brent, you most certainly will not regret it!
Great video eveRide! That was FUN! Yeah, I've loved the 1190 Adventure since it came out. It makes about the same power as my FJR! Actually, since I'm sport touring oriented with my road riding, I'm eyeballing the new 1290 Super Adventure! But any new bike is a ways off yet, as my toy box contents got much needed upgrades in 2014... A fella can always dream though!
And, thanks to my friend EveRide, we can ride vicariously through your adventures! BTW, LOVE the drone shots! Very cool.
So thank you again Sir, for another awesome video. Enjoyed very much.
gncc1race 1290?!!?!?!!?!?!! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SUCH AN ABOMINATION EXISTED! :D
My Dream bike right there! Congrats ***** , well deserved! Great video and love the aerial view from the drone. Still drooling all over my keyboard... seriously sick bike! Wait until you get an exhaust on there it's addicting. *T4S*
Sum4Seb Ah man the stock exhaust kinda has this quiet allure, though... I actually loved the sound of it!
after months of waiting for new KTM 1190 Adventure video this I feel is still the best one out there.
A ride with people laugh and enjoy like you worth every thing. Thanks for your vudeo.
That was awesome! A 150 HP man !
hillbillydualsport Soooo much power!
Fantastic Video, Caca-Clapsync?! YES
MotoMaryland HAHAHAHAHAHA! Best. Comment. EVER!
Brent and Tyler you guys crack me up! You guys make the best tag team MotoVloggers! Great info and video!
We need to do more! Also, you need to get down here and ride before it gets too hot!
With all the comments talking about this bike being 18-20 thousand I'm glad I held out. I paid 13,200 out the door. I am also about to get out of the Navy and was thinking about selling it. But this video itself just made me rethink that.
Man that thing looks fun as! cheers for sharing. Love the quad copter shots :)
regulardan Thanks man! Yeah it definitely adds some pretty cool perspectives, but it's a bit of a pain to set up in the field!
Dude, I fell in love with this channel and I love this episode and the part about KTM 1190 price haha "I told my wife" I am actually on the money saving road to get hands on this bike in R version. So thumbs up with your channel and future plans and your family.
Yeah, I accidentally rode my first modern bike last year. I've had a bunch of open MX bikes back in the day and come from liter sport tourers like the venerable yamaha FJ 1200.
So I got on a 1290 super adventure last year. Crap, I totally was NOT looking for a new bike but holy moly that thing was so much fun I bought it. It's no motocrosser but it is planted no matter what it's doing and talk about sweet on the road! The Beemers are great bikes too but I have no regrets. And the price? Well it doesn't matter that much when it's financed. Payments is payments.
Yes I'm having a lot of fun with it. You will too.
Another one bites the dust!!! Lol Glad ya got one of these beasts ***** you are now officially ruined and spoiled so bad that you will never want another bike...ever...... Great review guys!
MrDuhfactor YOU'RE the tempter in this case! It was your 990 that did him in! :D
+MrDuhfactor never want another bike... hahaha... c'mon, man... we see the background of your shop vids. :-)
B1pig, yep, you called me out right on that one... It's an addiction!!!
That was ca-cawesome. The first two and a half minutes was very pro, especially if you watch it speed up a little. The rest was classic everCabaza fun, that I miss so much. I think you sold me on the 1190 if I'm ever rich like GoatCabeza.
Hermit DaVlog That 1190 is an amazing bike! With it's release (in 2013) the 990s will drop in price a little, and I hear they are also incredible! I'd keep my eyes open for a 990 out there somewhere!
So how much did that KTM cost?
Well, I told my wife... Hahahahahaha..
how much does it cost?
They are close to $ 20 000 USD.
holymolie 😮😮 guess im just going to get a crf450x like my original plan, lol, maybe one day
I paid $17,200 out the door (with tax and all) in California. I know of people that paid less.
This was so fun! I love the 2nd generation top gear format style you got going on. THE POWERRRRR
minitstop Dude it's a format that's REALLY fun to make. Pro-style shots in the beginning, followed with shenanigans and laughter... I've been studying... but seriously I shed a tear. RIP Top Gear UK :(
Great vid as always man
SumoREDsm Thanks so much!
Great video! I never had much interest in the 1190...and then I saw this drag race. Wow! These bike reviews are great (especially the drag races). I like that you focus on the dual sport factor, ie how well does the bike fill the on-road and off-road roles. I love that you compare the bike to the DRZ as the standard (which is about as close to 50/50 dirt/street as you can get). May I suggest that you get with Dr. Dual Sport, or Vegas Romaniac and do a similar review/comparison on the WR450f. Another side by side of the DRZ with the WR250R would be cool as well.
Bill Punkoney Yes I REALLY like that idea! When ColoradoDualSport and Hermit DaVlog were out here we actually did a side-by-side, but didn't get all the test-footage we wanted. I'll see what I can do with the footage I've got, though!
...eemm, i told my wife... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D nice one! :D thumbs up!
Awesome upload. Drone shots are phenomenal mate, really well done. One quick question - what do you use to stabilize your helmet cam footage? I just recorded 2 days worth of rocky single-track on my 450X and it's almost unwatchable because it bounces around so much.
Glen Couchman Ah man that's not stabilization in post, that's the built-in stabilization of the Sony Action Cam. I love it! Although it still has a bit of a "slide" to it, I vastly prefer it for follow-shots than in non-steady-shot mode. Check it out! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HNJWSH4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HNJWSH4&linkCode=as2&tag=everide-20&linkId=UNN5FQDWOURY6HWP
Wow no kidding? It's so good I thought it would have to have been done in post. That's amazing. Definitely will look at getting one of those in future. For now though... $$ better spent on motorbike mods! Thanks mate.
I do love this wach video again and again!
BTW, what about the "Metric Systems" video (on tape?) :D
Great riding along with you guys.
What I told my wife....lol
Nice gloves too. I have a pair and never used them cus I like'm to much.
Great drone skills too....like u have been a pilot for years. Till next time...keep us laughing..... :)
bdseidler Oh man the drone shots... those were pretty much luck! I got 15 minutes of flight time and those short shots were the best I could pull out. It's so much harder than I thought it would be! Especially without FPV, I can't tell where in space the drone is so most of the time I was in front of him or too far behind him... it's tough when you lose the depth perception!
If you can get 1 min of footage out of a flight, that's about the average. If you only get 30 sec's of epic footage that's nothing to complain about. Keep UP the good work. :)
man hope he installed a UNI filter in that bike... Lots of dust out there. I have a 2014 1190R. I really like the bike and this video.
Whoooot!! My mate is getting another sport bike and just offered me his year old 1190 Adventure, kitted with topbox, panniers and heated grips for NZ$20,500 ...... lucky me :)
+Wayne B OYE! You lucky!!!
KTM 990 or 1190 would the top of my holy trinity if I could ever afford one. KTM for adventure touring (on and off-road), Harley Davidson for cruising, Honda CRF for playing in the dirt. But alas my DR650 will have to hold me over.
QuadraPixel Haha man that's exactly what DR650s are all about... they kinda do all of those things just fine! :)
Such an amazing bike! Congrats goatcabeza
Thanks for this review Tyler. It's honestly because of you that I even thought about this bike. I test rode one from a local KTM dealer and loved the bike. After your review and watching it about 10 times I went and bought one. So you could say you're a KTM sponsor now. Haha. Love the videos, keep it up. By the way I'm in southern Cali and would absolutely be down for a meet up one day. Cheers!
This clearly shows how much sharper and more detailed the Sony AS100 is than the Gopro type camera the second rider uses is.
Love the drone footage!
Just remind Mr. Cabeza to keep the air filter cleaner than he kept the klr! Do you think he would go for an ADV for All re-enactment tour with that bad boy? ;))
Adventure Addiction Oh man I can only wish! That would be incredible!
Can we see the next one on a challenging dirt trail and picking it up when dropped?
When you opened it up it seriously looked like you sped up the "tape" LOL
jeff ferguson Yeah I know! When I saw that footage I was like, "People are going to think that's fake!!!"
I saw a shirt that says "my biggest fear is that my wife will sell my motorcycle for the price l told her I paid for it." LOL great Vlog! It's great to see ***** again
Ride AMAP Hahahah that's an awesome shirt! :D Yeah I have missed Brent for a while... he's a busy dude!
Hey eveRide, Just noticed you subscribed to me and wanted to stop by and say thanks and tell you how much I love your videos. Are motorcycles worth the risk was particularly inspirational for me. I hope you enjoy my videos and I look forward to seeing the results of your ever improving professionalism with regards to content creation. Have a great day :D
HungaBustaVlogs Thanks so much for the kind words! Isn't this community awesome? I sub to everybody I can just because every single person out there I can imagine riding with and having a fun time :)
eveRide ADV Haha you're welcome :D This is definitely a great community to be a part of :)
love vid! new sub here.
I think the voice over should be tad bit louder than the music, but so far loving the channel.
I think im going to get an adv bike as my first bike. Its probably easier to choose a sports bike than it is a adv bike. sigh.
+dnasplice Welcome to the channel! There are a lot more sportbikes out there than ADV bikes, but ADV bikes can be found!
+eveRide ADV --- You've got a great talent for entertaining. Glad you started riding and thank you for posting videos. Best of luck to you brother. Kinda makes me want to put some knobbies on the VFR.
+dnasplice Anything with two wheels will put a smile on your face.........unless it constantly breaks down. Keep in mind that more guys will approach you about your sport bike than girls. Lol
man this video just sold KTM another 100 bikes. :)
Roxic12 Geez if only I got a cut of that! ;)
eveRide ADV maybe someone will find them on Amazon, wish I could buy it.
LOVE IT!!! I loved the part where you started laughing... "5 MINS LATER" That got me! Also I think that most of the review is you guys just laughing! HA! Another great TAPE!!!!
Fun video fellas!
chriscbc Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
das my dream bike right there! In the mean time my XR650L and my Vstrom are babes. But seriously a highly modified XR650L is the best dirt oriented dual sport you can get.
Eric Fling I REALLY want to try a XR650 one of these days. I keep hearing amazing things about them, but for some reason they're hard to find in Utah.
eveRide ADV Be warned the stock version of the XR650L is crap, slow, horrible throttle response, hot, too tall, too heavy, small tank. But since it is such a simple bike it is very easy to mod. Lowering link, bigger tank, plumber carb, de-smogging kit, exhaust system, battery relocation, custom taillight, oil cooler, those are just some that I did to my bike to make it completely rip! I love that thing now!
Eric Fling wow ! I ride heavily moded XR650L, an comfortably moded V love them both, gotta admit that 1190 is nice!
Great video - love the quadcopter footage. You are combining two of my favorite activities - motorcycles and RC. Someday I will sell my KLR and get a full size adventure bike. You are making me want one sooner rather than later :-)
***** Haha man maybe (if I get one) you'll have to skim somma that tax return to help you out a little :) Jess and I are buckling down and trying to get all of our tax stuff together today! I'll let you know how it goes but we actually just got our last tax form from Amazon in the mail from book royalties.
I would go out and buy one... but you know money n' stuff
DownUnderDualSport Yeah me too! For now, I'm good with the Widow :)
Totally never told you, picked up a vstrom like 3 months after the drz400e...what a nice bike! Wish I could afford a ktm haha
Terruhcutta YOU GOT A STROM?!?!?!?! What?! Dude you're like an hour and a half away! Get up here and let me ride it! >:) muahahahahaha! :D
eveRide ADV I need to! I want to do a long trip! My spring break is the week before easter...I'm off from work tuesday wednesday thursday... I'll facebook message you, we need to meet up!
Terruhcutta man that would be really cool! I kinda pushed things too hard riding with Brent the other day to get this footage with the ol' lung, but we could do some scenic roads/fire trails and I could get some cool drone shots of you on the strom!
eveRide ADV That'll be a good idea, the strom has the stock deathwings (its a 2004), and NO skid plate and NO engine guards haha
The music should be in the background in your videos, NOT center stage. Aside from that, I like your videos and have subscribed.
The "VHS helmet cam" comment was gold.
Stephen Roper lol those things were HEAVY! I remember my SHOULDER getting tired... it's crazy the stuff that we have today :)
Has anyone else been hypnotized by the 1190's huge back tire, or is it just me?
+MrSwat55 Mmmmm for some reason it's kinda sexy, right? I was thinking the same thing.
Dat ND filter on Gopro at 2:49 :D
I'd love to see you take out one of the Zero electric motorcycles. :D
Hope your feeling better !! Great video!! God Bless!!!
The Steel Horseman Thanks! Yeah the lung was a little sore after that ride, but it was more than worth it to get out with ***** again!
Hey, quick question on your audio capture. Do you capture simultaneous audio to a single source (from both riders) through the Sena, or do you capture both riders' audio separately via lav mic/camera/recorder etc. and combine in post?
Really well-done video. Just watched your KLR 650 vs V-Strom 650 vid prior to this one. Was almost set on a V-Strom... now my "needed" bike budget just jumped by about 3x. Damit.
Lol how much does one of these cost? And he gets separate audio from both mics, no Sena sounds that good xD
+James White lol I made the mistake of riding a 990 a few weeks ago. I don't have that kind of money :D Yeah the audio is just captured separately and then mashed together in post. That way both sources are nice and clean, with similar gain.
+eveRide ADV Awesome, thanks for the info!
4:30 - best comment I have ever heard you say..... as a KTM owner myself........
JoeJoe Moto I've been a KTM "hater" for a long time... when secretly I'm team orange ;)
Do you plan on trying out/reviewing any of the BMW adventure bikes? I'm in love with all your review videos and would love to see your opinion on a G650 GS or even the high end R1200GS. Either way love your videos! Keep it up!
I said good bye to my KLR on Weds. Although a great bike. I had all those issues that Brent stated too. Since I'm now a Versys owner again. Might need to change my Channel. Ride on brother... :)
KLRPilot15 VersysPilot15! You know, I've noticed that a lot of guys get a KLR, ride it, love it, and then switch to a bike that suits their needs a little more, either more dirt or more street. The KLR is a great bike to find out what your heart is REALLY after!
eveRide ADV True...... KLR will be missed. I'm happy I owned one or two and pretty much rode the bike to all the destinations that I wanted to see. Since owning a 250s I enjoyed the dirt a lot more on a smaller bike. The new Versys will definitely suit me needs moving forward !! I think I will start posting new videos on my other channel soon.

Okay this is just flat out good fun. This is why we motorcycle!
Look at that KTM twerk in the whoopties. Love your channel eveRide! Keep it up.... The "I told the wife..." price quote is awesome.
BeKuth That KTM drops it like it's hawwwwt! haha :D
I like music but it drowned out the commentary. I really wanted to hear your opinions on the bike but unfortunately couldn't.
Beautiful... The bike AND the video. I always seem to ease off the motorcycle videos in the winter and try to think about other things. The last few Springs, when I've found my way back, I've been pleasantly surprised (not really) that you've stepped up your game. Your videos are more refined than ever and I'm loving every second. I was laughing like a dumb ass just like the both of you during the "I told my wife" part. I also want that bike... and a drone. Question - did you consider, at any point, the Parrot Bebop?
What is the camera set up on the chase rider? It looks great. Might consider investing in that set up for both riders. Nice video guys.
Does the drz400e have more horses than the s?
maybe its just me but how about increasing voice volume and decreasing music volume a little ? makes it hard to understand at times.
also, purchased the silver 1190 yesterday...yay
