My rule of thumb is that anything over 600cc is just not necessary for off road use the lighter the better when it comes to dirt. That's why the best off road bike a light dual sports. Honestly the Vstrom 250 is super underrated.

You can ride a xr250 a Dr 400 a ct125 an xl175 a de800 across Australia and back you need and upper mate don't be so worried about shit that happens because you know

He's right. Anything heavier than 450 lbs is too heavy / overkill for any real off road adventures. That's why bike's of the Tenere 700s ilk have become so popular.

Try a KTM 790 / 890 Adventure R the Center of Gravity is Low But with 6'5" I have No Problem with mid size Bikes And yes I would say 80 to 90 % of my Trip is Not Offroad or easy Offroad roads But I would also say when U are tall and Really gonna Go hard Offroad Take a cheap Dr Big or KLR or an Dirt Bike But if you tall and wan't also a good daily Driver Take a modern Adventure I think the Adventure Bikes are great for tall riders and Im Happy with my KTM and Dr Big. But I get your Points and they are true 👍

Willst du mir etwa sagen Till Schwaiger macht keine guten Filme?! 😱😂

Nice. But to be honest, this kind of narrative about films industry is not only in Germany. take it easy.

I made a trip 2 weeks ago with 4 other guys... Everyone laughed at my tw200 until we hit the narrow trails. My Little bike is way more capable than most people would think!

Seat height tenere 5000 mm 😂 model 2025. Made by japanese for japanese hahah come on

Ganz ehrlich: Niels, der 1000PS Chef, würde mit Dir auf jeden Fall ein breiteres Publikum ansprechen... Auch ehrlich: Du brauchst 1000PS nicht, Du kannst mit Deinem Engagement und Deiner natürlichen Art selber gross werden!

My hero, TET with a road bike!!! The 1000PS guys would sh.. their pants... they need a KTM Adventure at least, for this hardcore stuff 🤣🤣🤣 But I should just shut up, I am even worse.... U did the river-crossing like a pro! I would have just rode through it, and most likely landed on my mouth... Interviewing McGregor with a wooden spoon 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can not say how much I appreciate that on your channel nothing is "over the top"! Love your "normality"! Anyway: I admire your energy & efford. Beside the yourney, in the rain, the filming, the cutting, the whole workflow, you even share your sightseeing, showing us places, of slovenia in this case (amazing castle!), I've never seen before! Great!

Great you like austria, nice you rode through styria where i live, styria is really adorable. We, in austria, ride motorcycles only because of the twisty roads! ;-)

I have a 94 VFR750 and with a bit of aftermarket in it 220kph is surprisingly and a bit worryingly easy

You met WINETU ??? WOW 😮...I thought he was dead !😂

... 14:20 ... 👍 ... I have a Honda CRF 300 Rally with some mods. Barley 30hp and it keeps up with all the big KTM's, BMW's etc. Big ADV bikes are over rated and freaking heavy. Jeff

... Why not clip the mic on the front of your hoodie? .

I still love to watch Tatort and Löwenzahn 😂 A German movie which I recently saw and really liked was Bornholmer Straße. Love films about DDR. Das Leben Der Anderen is another I really liked. Der Goldene Handschuh was interesting, maybe a bit sick 😂

You had "Derrick"

Nice to see my homeland from Rheinland Pfalz😎 Keep it up. Ride safe!👋🏻

I only know of German movies because of Lola Rennt, and series like Der Letzte Bulle or modern shit like Dark...I'm looking forward to you ride through Bosnia thou…

I'd argue that the main reason the Winnetou movies were so successful was that by the time they came out, Karl May had been just about the most popular German author for several decades. Somewhat like how Lord of the Rings was bound to become successful no matter how bad the movies were. People watched them with their kids because they loved the books when they were kids themselves, then those kids went all nostalgic over the films and watched them with theirs, and... Well. You also left out the most hilarious fact of the whole franchise: for the first few decades, every single one of May's books was advertized as an autobiography. Since mass media wasn't really around yet in the second half of the 1800s, people saw them as just about the only way to learn about foreign countries, and occasionally based their own emigration decisions on them. basically fake news on a scale that had been just about unfathomable until then. Then, after May's death and World War 1, when more reliable information and American media became available, people started re-reading these novels with a "how could anyone think this was real" slant. Which, ironically, only made them more popular. That said, congrats on surviving the most overhyped tourist trap Croatia has to offer! Hope you continue to have a great trip!

yo that Honda CB 600 F is a really really good bike my best friend owns one from the nineties in special demo colours haha. stay safe Miles! nice videos! Just realised you should have gone to Ljubljana and visit Zizek *sniffs* and so on and so on

I enjoyed listening to your opinion about the German films and film industry. :) Karl May is a great writer. Cheers.

That river crossing was really scary to watch. At the end I could see the handlebars wiggle more, I thought the bike was really about to fall. If it fell there, lifting it back up on slippery surface in cold water would be a nightmare.

Interesting thoughts on movies in general. Not unlike the norwegian film industry. I can not watch fiction anymore, I stick to CZcams and news articles. Cheers from Norway.

It's a really nice journey! Very interesting because I was considering going to Croatia and Slovenia some time as well. While watching I can't help but think how much energy it must consume to set up the cameras all the time, to film all what you're doing, while wearing motorcycle gear in summer. And motorcycling alone is very tiring already, especially in summer. Oh and you also edit the videos at the end of the day. That's some marine or paratrooper level of endurance. I hope that you still get enjoyment from the trip.

As you move towards the coast, consider riding E75 road. Also known as "Jadranska magistrala". Goes all the way to southern Croatia, and has some spectacular views.

When pronouncing Croatian town names, do it in German instead of English. It's closer to native pronunciation. I didn't know where you were until I saw the table with the town name.

All the morning drama is actually decent content and also part of the trip. If you keep that stuff out of the videos it becomes to polished and fake

I was not a fan of the intro music this time. It was very loud and dissonant. The partial and inaudible phone call going through it only made it worse.

always important to take a break if you feel you need it. looking forward to seeing how the journey continues!

That‘s why I mostly watch documentaries or CZcams😅 so thanks for improving the „German Movie“ Miles ;)

It's "An old Western" not "A old Western". Best of luck!

Really enjoyed the insights into German cinema and TV 😍

I've heard lots of good things about the RE Himalayan. It's one of the bikes that interest me. :)

That was a hectic morning alright 😖 I was bombing through the twisties so fast to try get to place I could get phone coverage 🤣 I blame Vodafone 🤦🏽‍♀️

It does the job and breaks no bank. But for looking cool or in terms of visual design it’s a failure, even compared to the opinions splitter the 411. It’s a tool - that’s what it is and a tool that works. The morini is something very, very, very different, it had it’s time-slot anyway. Current bikes went ahead. In the moderate budget area it’s either the voge300 or the Himmy450. I don’t think that the cfmoto450 is a hard win in either of the categories, maybe places a third category, depending your target use. Above that you’re entering v-strom650de, benelli, cfmoto territory, and if you so will 390adv. I’d personally choose the voge300, vstrom650de, vstrom800de or T7, at19dct or r1300gsa(to come), or ajp pr7 for hard-off-road, no husqy/ktm/india/china bike above 5K. Whoever can travel offroad with a RE interstate can do so on a bullet350 as well. That type of bike has been the ultimate bad paths muncher for almost a century.

Wow, damit habe ich nicht gerechnet XD

In my country we recently had the case of Honda presenting a 2nd generation of a small dual pourpose bike, and all first riders went out saying it was much better. But after several k thousands of km (adding up many privatelly owned bikes) mechanics now report huge issues with the new engine saying that the older is still the best. What we also should do in this case,imo. Thanks for the video, btw!

I think these are a novelty bike , there are lots for sale , it’s a nostalgic buy if I wanted a second bike to pop to the shops on maybe

Test rode one and loved it. Seems more than 40hp. Smooth, great off-road, great tourer. No horrible plastic parts either. RE have got it spot on.

Would you also be interested in reviewing the cfmoto 450 mt?

you can skimp on really a lot of things, also w.r.t gear, but when riding off road, I think you should really, really consider sturdy offroad or even motocross boots.

How nice of them to help a small channel out.

You are blocking the view of the mudguard when you are pointing at and talking about the mudguard ;-)

Thank you for introducing the new RE Himalayan. I think this is the next level of Bang for your Bucks after the preview model with the solid 411 Single Piston. If there came out not the Motor Morini X-Cape i had chouse the new RE Himalayan.

It’s not power alone, it’s carrying capacity. I’m 240 and usually pack 60-70 lbs of luggage. That eliminates smaller bikes.

4:06 yes the sign at 3:05 actually says to be careful because it's slippery lol

100% not a mine!

Crazy what all happend in this episode 👌
