The 690 is best for the guys that have owned a DR650 or a KLR, this is an awesome upgrade for those. This is a great fit for the guy that doesn't want to have two bikes. The 690 is a compromise, but a great compromise.
@@Zt3v3 absolutely love the 690 one of my all time favorite bikes!!! I think people find it a bit too much power off road, but with a good clutch hand it's quite capable!!!
Livermore! I used to live in Orinda! Had to move..too expensive
@@chrisholtz7406 definitely far too expensive!
Had my 2012 se 1050 some time now and I can honestly say I can’t fault anything about the bike …. Fast powerful handles insanely good and amazing for long rides .. just a great bike .. and not that heavy like some people say .. I’m 6.ft 2 and I can flat foot and it fits me perfect .. get a tall screen is my only advice
@@peachy3143 definitely a great bike,!
Hey dude love your channel I was wondering have you made a video on changing the gearbox oil on the iceberg champion I can't find information about that other than in my owner's manual which doesn't tell me what oil to use.😮 Any information would be helpful thank you
@@FSEVENMAN the iceberg has a different engine than the Amego so I'm not sure on how much oil it takes. Use a motorcycle oil, and because they are air cooled use a synthetic oil for better heat protection. I use mobile one T4. Racing oil, You can pick it up at Walmart.
@@TRCAdventures Thank you for getting back to me I did that and I go to Walmart to get it so thank you but I'm talking about isn't there a separate gear case that has gear oil for the transmission or no? The owner's manual does say to change the gear case oil but I don't know if they're talking about the engine because it's Chinese who knows?
@@FSEVENMAN just the engine oil, it's all in one on most motorcycles. And this one is a simple little motor the gears and engine are all one and share the oil, that's the main reason motorcycle oil is a bit different than car oil, different additives to deal with clutch and gears
@@TRCAdventures Thank you so much I did not know that.😊
you put the savings on amazing gear
Definitely!!
Great review, I purchased this bike a couple years ago (2016 S model) and I can't think of anything that it doesn't do well "street rider" my favorite feature are the brakes they are out right amazing (S model) and the motor is just outrageous and smooth. I guess if It has a shortcoming in town traffic, she gets hot and she's tall so if you're under 5' 10" maybe not so great
@@samboles3670 they are fantastic bikes Ducati, the improvements made over the older models was massive. And the year by year refinements have been great! That motor is glorious!
Random question but how comfortable is the seat for the passenger?
@@matthatter93 my wife finds it to be quite comfortable, we also had a 2014 model she felt it was also quite comfortable (about the same) with rides up to 4 hrs she still felt is was a good place to be!
@@TRCAdventures thanks for the fast response! My moto guzzi v85tt seat leaves a lot to be desired for my wife as we go on 5+ hr road trips and she is making me find a more dedicated road trip bike lol. These model bikes are much more affordable than gold wings in the NC area so I will keep that in mind! Thank you again
where was that camp spot? was that on the way up to saddleback mountain? or right on the main poker flat trail?
That spot is on the main route to poker flat, it's a bit of an overlook just before you drop in to the valley
I'm guessing this fix is about the same for an 890 Adventure? Great info by the way.
Not sure about that. I have not looked at the 890. I need to post an update to this video, after two years this bike experienced the same issue again. At that point it's worth buying a new unit. KTM should issue a recall on these units far too many of there bikes have this problem, changing the material of the float would be a permanent fix.
I'm a brand new rider i just bought a really nice one from my neighbor for $1100 it has 20000 miles. one owner i didn't know the value do i offered just over a grand and she took it
Sounds good! Great price as long as you are both happy your not taking advantage.
Thanks for theGreat ride!!
You are welcome!! Fun road!
Greatvl video thsnks
Thank you
I thank you for your video \ do you know the name of the shocks style yours are the same as mine
thanks The shocks had a RFY sticker on them, though I think if they look like this they are all probably the same?
Really nice video, your appreciation of this bike shines through. After getting rid of my T7, too tall for my 55yo wonky shoulder and knee, I'm considering one of these. I want a low tech mid weight adv. The only thing that's put me off in the past is the idea they might handle the twisties in much the same way my DRZ does rather than the better handling of the modern mid weights. Any thoughts, where does it lie on that spectrum? Thanks
Unfortunately these are also quite tall, depending on how much off road you do, there are some other options that are much lower, can handle some dirt roads and are masters in the Twisties. A Ducati hyperstrada, Honda's 500. As far as the f800 in the Twisties it's better than the drz but not as good the DRZ400SM That might be a fun option as it's much lower has great stiff forks and with some tkc80 tires can go anywhere!
@@TRCAdventures cheers, actually it was the top heaviness of the T7, I'm just over 5 10 so could manage it, but felt like fighting a losing battle as soon as it started to go. Thought the BMW would be better with the lower fuel.
Guzzis like cornering on neutral or slight throttle much more than off throttle.
Yeah bikes don't corner too well off throttle, a smooth combination through the corner seems to be a good practice!
@@TRCAdventures Shafties in particular. I have noticed that on an Yam XJ650 as well as the V11 Sport I currently ride. If that is a CARC bike, the effect should be minimized.
I bought a 2011 Zuma 10 years ago. I’m almost at 20k miles now. I rode 1000 miles in 23hrs 45 min just to see if I could do it. I made a video about my touring setup if you’re interested. I love these bikes!
That is truly an amazing thing to have done, I would love to see your video, I had thought about trying to do something similar but after considering my fuel and bathroom stops and a bit of time to eat. I did not feel I could maintain the average speed required to complete it in time.
Love my '15 F6B Deluxe, cruise is nice and I just enjoy the smooth powerful engine!
Ah yes I added cruise control to my '13 definitely must have! And that engine! Fantastic
BGM a bit too loud, hard to hear you. Nice bike though.
Yeah it took me a long time to figure out the audio for the video issues
I recall seeing this video in my feed a few years ago and watching it and seeing yours all kitted out. Fast forward to 2023 and I wrecked my Vstrom, picked up an 08 Versys on a whim and just have gotten the Givi racks on it. Found a gent selling 2 side cases and a V46 top case so got the hardware. T-Rex Racing has a skid plate, engine guard and center stand for these that are on the list next. Really an awesome platform
Sounds like a great bit of fun getting that bike outfitted!!!
How much did you pay for the windscreen? I cant find any for cheap, only for the older hyosungs. The ones for the 2013+ cost like 100$+
I think they were about $30, I think itwas from ebay, actually ordered the wrong one the first time, new and old models have a different shape.
That is the Adventure
This bike is the standard version, not the Adventure with the larger tank crash bars and extra large cladding on the air box.
I love mine, only had it a month so far but its great. Id class the VFR1200F as a super tourer as it comes with around the same power of the superbikes back 15 years ago.
They are a fantastic bike, great road manners and a comfortable ride!
I owned one of these. The stereo was an option. It came as you showed, with a hole to slide in the radio. But you also had a small display that was on the lower left part of the dash that displayed the radio display. I ended up removing the antenna and the radio wiring. You end up with a nice glove compartment. Those "wizzy brakes", as many call them, are very important to have checked out. You have to bleed them with a specific technique that includes bleeding the unit itself. If that wasn't done regularly, you can get rust and damage in the unit requiring it to be rebuilt or replaced. The one place I know of that rebuilds them has a LONG wait. You can also remove the system and just run the hoses direct to the calipers, but you will lose your ABS. If you buy a high mileage one (over 50,000 miles) make sure the clutch isn't slipping. That's a major job to replace the clutch and it's an automotive style dry clutch. Same goes for the rear main seal. If you see any weeping of oil around that area, factor that into the price. Otherwise...these are bullet proof bikes that will run for a long time. Not unusual to see BMW boxers with well over 100,000 miles and still running strong.
Great information
You behind that scooter reminds me of a shark about to swallow a sardine.
They looked like they were having such a nice day, I just had to hang back a bit!
Should I buy one?
My initial response would be no, and try and find a 2009 or newer RT. The problem with the older bikes is, they have a brake assist system that will fail at some point the fix is likely more expensive than the bike, though more and more people have bypassed the system making them reliable and easy to maintain, in that case yes!
@@TRCAdventures Thank you.
Dude I ordered an iceberg champion 4 weeks ago and I haven't heard a word from ( cajun mad dog) it's driving me insane. I did call them twice and spoke to both guys but really haven't gotten a good reason for the delay. I went from being totally excited to highly disappointed and I think it's slowly changing to anger 😮 I feel a bit like Bruce Banner and I really don't want to turn green....
Yeah the ice bear is a totally different bike and different company selling them. Definitely consider cancelling and ordering a Amigo. A better motor and better components, also the Amigo has a clutch and gears. In any case make sure they actually have them in stock before you order. Far too many people list them and don't actually have them. In that case the wait can be several months.
@@TRCAdventures Thanks for your response I think I will.
No really biker with a little feeling for his motorbike needs a gear indicator. All these modern technical adds allegedly help to increase security but do the opposite. They minimize the ability of new bikers to get a better understanding of their bike.
With all the new technology bikes hitting the market it's nice to have a bike that is a bit more basic "motorcycle" to experience it as it is, rather than fideling with a mass assortment of accessories the rider may use once.
you can flat foot it.. and are you 5.2 or 6.6"?
Ah yes, I can, I'm 6ft with a 32" Inseam
Love my recently acquired 250L ... 2013 model , sweet condition , 23,000 km on clock ... $1700 paid for it here in Thailand ....❤ *Crap Game*
That's great, they are fun bikes!
Black bikes matter! 👍🏻
Definitely a fun bike! 😁
@@TRCAdventures I ride its grandfather, the 955i, still fun, 3 Cylinders are great. Have fun with it 👌🏻
@@steffenbaden-baden1274 ah yes the 955i fantastic motor great bikes, I ended up with a new one in 2016 from Triumph. Super cool! czcams.com/video/Y8eCW9tMGBU/video.htmlsi=UK6kNRsY_TFYcJ-h
@@TRCAdventures Ah, a tiger. One of the best for Long rides, so comfy 👍🏻 I have two bikes at the moment. The Speedy 955 for normal roads and having fun and a Kawasaki Ninja ZX9r for our German Autobahn 😅
í did it and not satisfied how it fit....i mean its do not fit!!! because the stearingbase is not round!!!....okee, it will not fall of but its not a elegant way...have done a baseplate on clutch reservoir that fits perfect....thanks anyway for your ideas...❤
Just a simple solution, quick and easy, quite a few people use this method now. Other options include replacing the handle bar bolt and adding spacers as a mount ( this method may look a bit more OEM) adding mount to the steering stem, bolting a mount to the top of the master cylinder. Or a dash modification. Also, adding a dedicated GPS is always an option. This one is just cheap and easy!
@@TRCAdventures indeed...great for cheap and easy...👍❤️
thanks to you i can make my fuel gauge work again on my KTM 1050 Adventure :)
I'm glad that helped!
Fritzco is the way to go. Their C-clip makes it easy to change out.
Sounds like the right one!!
This is my dream bike just love the looks i own now a fjr 1300 so maybe in the future i buy one
I took had always looked at the F6B thinking yeah that just seems right, but every time I would think about getting one I would end up with a sport touring bike of some sort. After finally making the decision to get one it still took me a year to pull the trigger and buy one.... I absolutely love it!
I just bought a 2004 VTX 1300 with less than 20k miles on it. Yes, you read that right, 20 years old, less than 20k miles. Plot twist: I bought it from a guy here in Texas who sadly got flooded in the recent rains. It took on about a foot and a half of water. He's a friend and too old to ride these days so he told me "$500 and it's yours", so clearly I couldn't turn THAT shit down. Clearly I have my work cut out for me, but I'm happy to do it. Here's the thing, I've RIDDEN for 15 years, but I've never ONCE turned a wrench on a motorcycle. Plenty of cars, and I'm an HVAC mechanic by trade, so I likely have the "mechanical knowledge and skill set" to do the work that needs to be done. That said, I'm always happy to take advice. I've found the owners manual online, but CLEARLY I'm gonna need some parts, and what I DON'T see in the manual are PARTS BREAKDOWN AND PARTS NUMBERS. Curious if anyone here knows where I can find what I guess would be called the "SERVICE" manual, with breakdowns and part numbers. This was a great video btw, you made me even more excited to get mine cleaned up and on the road!
That's a great find! Should be a fun project! Sounds like you will have the skills needed to tackle the project. The key will be cleaning every electrical connection and treating it with electrical grease. If the ECU and or tip over switch were under water you may want to replace them. There are lots of online services manual options some free some paid, I have always used the free ones, and asked my local dealer to provide part numbers I was missing they seemed happy to provide them and were always super interested in the projects. They are quite simple bikes with a simple and robust wiring harness! Good luck with the project!
So many of these with disabled ABS due to pump failures. I was going to buy one such bike, but my insurance company refused to cover the bike. Any modifications must be disclosed to the insurer or they can void the insurance in the event of a claim😎
I understand why people remove the break pump, the cost of rebuild is more than the value of the bike, also without the pump the brakes do work better. Bummer about the insurance, the 2009 and newer this issue is fixed by BMW and they have much better breaks!
2 questions. Is this the 2018? And if so did you have to replace the judder springs and or clutch basket?
#1 Yes, it is a 2018 and #2 I replaced the clutch with an EBC clutch kit, removing the two judder springs, adding the EBC clutch pack and new springs ( a bit stronger/heavier springs). The old clutch was in new condition, so i did not replace the clutch basket. The. Judder springs help soften the engagement of the clutch. This helps keep the bike from stalling when letting out the clutch, great from new riders, not so great for trail use or more advanced riders.
Just bought an 05 1050.....can't wait to get some decent weather and take her out! Great review fella 👍🏻
Thanks! Enjoy the ride! Great bike!
Thanks for the video. When you say you are flat footed, how tall are you?
I have a 32" inseam. 6' tall
Just got mine 2017 a few weeks ago, still finding out the setting TC and driving mode. But I get your feeling 👍
Excellent bike! Ride mode = sport, TC = off, ABS = off road. That is the E-ticket ride!
@@TRCAdventuresgreat going to test that for sure!
The gearing in the original Ct 70 from how HONDA is the same way. You are actually fortunate with the 125 motor, my Ct 70 is screaming at 30 mph haven’t tried a top speed run yet.
30 is probably a good speed! Keep it fun. Great camp bike and around town fun!!
hello,dont have fuel counter?
No fuel gauge, just a fuel light that came on when there is about four litres of fuel remaining

Currently debating getting one of these. Love the looks and sounds of it but my main concern is the power difference between this and the 1100 evo? Anyone have experience on both that can chime in on the subject, does the 796 have a fair amount of steam to it or will it feel a little under powered? Current bike is a 02 Harley super glide stage one with suspension work done. Thanks
I have owned both, the 1100 evo, has much more power in low RPM situations (street riding) the 796 has power modes and can feel like a beginner bike in the rain and standard modes, but in sport mode it comes alive and feels as fast as the Evo, at high RPM and well above any legal street limits. The 1100 is more of a hooligan bike (it encourages you to lose your license as fast as possible, where as the 796 you will need to make the decision to put it in sport mode and turn off nanny controls before that happens. Both definitely a different experience than the super glide.....you will want to keep that too! If it were me.....I love the 1100 motor, it's not as fast as the newer motors, but in my opinion it's more fun! (Too much fun!, Is there such a thing)
Nice drone footage. Love that mountain bike footage!!!
Yeah I like that part, would like to do more of that!
OMG I love it. I own a goldwing 1500. But I want one of these
Thanks! I absolutely love this bike! Seems to amaze me more every day!
just bought a 2012 zuma 125 few weeks ago with 940 miles been garaged all its life it's a blast to ride around on
Sweet, now it's time to get some miles on it!!! Total blast to ride!
