The thing that gets me about top boxes is that when you put stuff in them, the weight is high, and behind the rear axle line. It stuffs up the handling;)
Ik ben super tevreden over m’n ktm 890adventure:) heel laag zwaartepunt, eitje om op te rapen als ie gaat liggen:) 20l tankinhoud maar de tanks zitten rond de motor ipv bovenop:) bedankt voor de leuke video!
Te gek om te zien Ben. Mooie video 👍🏻👍🏻 Ik heb weken geleden een 1150GSA uit 2004 gekocht. Was even vergeten na 7 jaar niet rijden (toen op een 1100GS) dat die versnellingsbak.zo ratteld 😄 Maar wat een prachtige fiets hè 🤩 Ik ben ook naast banden aan het kijken nu, maar ga voorlopig enkel verhard rijden. Hoe oud is jou GSA?
Hoi! Bedankt voor de leuke reactie! Ja, die bakken ratelen flink 😂 Leuk dat je weer bent opgestapt! Mijn volgende banden worden ook iets meer “trail” want die anakees slijten echt te hard. Ik zit te denken aan heidenau scout. Mijn gs is van 2002 :-)
@@benontheroadnl Ja, heerlijk om weer te rijden. Kan niet wachten tot de winter voorbij is. En die Heidenau schijnen echt lang mee te gaan. Ik lees ook super veel goeie ervaringen over de Dunlop trailmax mission. Zelf kijk ik naar deze band of wellicht de Anakee Adventure.
It is an outstanding tire I just wish it lasted longer. I only got 2K miles out of front. Switched to Motoz Adventure. 7500 miles on back 4000 on front.
Ben , Motoz Tires were developed for the Outback in Australia .. The Motoz Tractionator Adventure tire is long lasting & has a lot of meat on the tire .. They have very stiff sidewalls & do really well on pavement as well as in the dirt / sand / mud / rain .. They have silica in the center knobbies so the center tread wear is excellent .. These are supposed to be a 50%/50% tire streen / dirt but last 8km - 9km .. My second pick for distance tires which are more 65% / 35% , Street / Dirt are the Mitas E-07 .. These don't do as well in the sand & loose rock as the Motas do but the rear tire will last close to 15km .. They are a fantastic street tire even wet .. The Motoz are superior in the mud / snow .. The Motoz have very good sidewall strength .. Both tires can run tubeless as bead lock is very very good on both tires but I would choose the Mitas because they can be run flat ! .. Don't go over 25 miles per hour .. So as far as adventure tires go the Mitas can get you to the next city if you have a flat .. No other tires that I know of can do this .. The reason is they have the most belts in the tire which make the Mitas more puncture resistant .. I believe the Mitas are superman tires .. Being able to run slow flat is fantastic but my favorite is the Motoz for traction .. The Motaz RallZ are the most aggressive & I would say they are a 90% / 10% , Street / Road .. The reason why I chose the KTM 690 is that it is 150 Kilos , 74 Bhp , 50 lb / ft of torque & 48 Mpg .. The tank is small so I have an under the seat tank form Rade Garage .. In my opinion a motor cycle that can't go at least 200 miles is not a motorcycle that I want .. I would prefer 300 miles per tank but having the bike weight low means that I don't sink into mud / snow / sand as much as a bigger heavier adventure bike .. The KTM's Seat is really bad , way to hard , So I got an upgraded Gel Seat that has a waterproof cover .. I know the seats are hot in the summer but if you like the mud / snow then this is a very good bike for that .. I think I will buy two sets of wheels , One with the Mitas & the other with the Motoz & maybe if I can find the money street tires ..
Hi! Thank you for the great comment. I never heared about the Motoz tire. I looked them up and i think this wil be my next tire! I am currently looking for a workshop that can overhaul my shock absorbers, they are worn out. This is going to cost some money and my gs is getting old... so im dubbing about making a trade with the gs for a newer bike. Im thinking about the newest vstrom 650, but im not sure yet.
@@benontheroadnl Ben, I got Rid of my Heavy Adventure bike .. I like the power of the heavier bikes because I don't spend as much time off the road and they are truly better for the street as I am a big guy .. But I downsized to a KTM 690 .. 74 hp , incredible torque from a single cylinder bike .. 340 lbs wet .. It is maneuverable in rough terrain & powerful enough for good road ridding .. I like the bigger bikes for the road but I don't like them very much off road ..
Thank you Hans! Glad you liked it. How many km's you did on your E07? Now im driving Pirelli Scorpion trail. Nothing compare to the off road capabilities of the Michelin A.Wild, but it was a good deal and I am going to do a trip on mainly tarmac. My next pick wil probably be Mitas or Motoz cause the Michelins worn very quick.
i've spent hours this winter shopping for new tires for my r1150gs. it came with shinko 705, looking for something more aggressive but will still survive on the pavement. i only got 3k miles out of a shinko705 rear, would hate to buy a +$160usd tire to just melt it off. Excellent video, you make a great presenter. i came for tire opinions, but stayed for a fun video
Thank you for watching and the nice comment :D Unfortunately I haven't ridden much lately because I had to replace something on the bike and some private circumstances. But know i have to replace the rear tire.. If the front tire also needs to be replaced, I will also try a set of Heidenau Scout k60.
Hoi Daniël. Met een SW Motech montage plaat. Eventueel een keer extra in de verf zetten kan geen kwaad.

Great video, man. The only thing I can't wrap my head around is this: why are all of you BMW folks riding with an open helmet? This is just ridiculous, especially off tarmac (see 0:38). Like - you increase your risk of injury for the sake of looks? If you can't breathe, get a helmet with better ventilation. Seriously.
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it. To be honest, never tought abt the helmet the way you mention this. I really love the wind on my face but I wil keep your words in mind! Above a certain speed I have to close it. Thanks man 🤙🏻
Awesome video, Dude! Thanks for taking the time to do a great review and the work to put together this video.
Thanks a lot for this nice reaction!

Indeed, i am going to sell the gs. It is too heavy.
When we come back I will look for a f800gs or T7 (with saddle bags) 😄

Just to point out the Tractionator Adv tire isn’t 50/50, but more off road biased - it’s the Adv GPS that’s 50/50 with Motoz
Good video Ben! They are going on my KTM 1290 SAR next! My Mitas E07+ are about worn out!

or better known as the Panicee
Total waste of money. I only got 2000km , no tarmac use.
They worn very quickly indeed. But I did a bit more, mainly tarmac use.
Just bought a set of pirelli scorpions for my upcoming tarmac trip haha
Same here never ever again 1.4 km rear already lost 50% of the tyre offroad ofc and living prettig hard
Front lasted me over 17,000 kms. Read about 10 or 12,000.
