- What an awesome day to remember this was. Hailuoto is a beautiful place to visit with a car also but with a bike the nature at this time of year was a wonderful experience. You don't want to miss the last ferry out though 😂
Special thanks to @advseeker for providing some of the video material seen on this video. You can check his channel via the link in the name.
I'm running very worn 50/50 tires but I tried my best to keep up :-)

Great to see two versions of the same trip. For me this kind of content works well. Not a problem to watch from start to end at all.
Do you like these kind of videos from me? .. And if you do is it too long or too short for your taste? Or just about right?
I'm curious as my daily dose ride videos are not very popular.. so I'm thinking should I stop making them and focus on other videos or change them in some way? What do you think? 😅
My edits are slowly improving after a year of practice but I stiill have a lot to learn 🤗
perfect length.
perfect length and narration!
btw: what camera do you use, seems crystal clear to a lot of others. maybe you have better editing skills than many
the brutal honesty is that video lengths depend on content. i watched this one carefully to make sure the T7 doesn't under perform vs KTMs lol, and to see at least one KTM breaking down which didnt happen. Disappointed. On a serious note good stuff.
I use DJI Osmo Action 3 and 4. Definitely not better editor than anyone else 😄 So it's all thanks to DJI.
@nemerkha ktm never breaks... or at least then cameras are off 😅
Looked like a great trip, incredible views & awesome trails. I ride a 690 as well, and it’s cool to see a perspective from the Tenere. First video I’ve seen on your channel & subscribed after watching. Looking forward to watching more. Best of luck with the channel, cheers! 🤘
Thanks! Winter rides are close as it’s already snowing here 🙂
Looks like a blast and the forest is beautiful!
Great video 👍 👍 That was fun to watch.
Nice! Thanks 🙂
exellent video. awesome bikes. so much fun.
ride safe buddies !
Thanks, you too!
Always done perfectly! Thanks for mentions, much appreciated ❤

Awesome video dude!
Neat video. Just helped me decide to give my new T7 a bit more of a chance as on the fence about trading in for 690 or another lighter bike. Which brand exhaust have you fitted as sound is good and seems to crash nicely?
It's an HP Corse high exhaust. Best mod anyone can do to their T7. czcams.com/video/blw6bKbpurM/video.html
Great video and great effort! I’ve always liked the Tenere but the weight and high centre of gravity pushed me to the 690 which although tall is more manageable for me. 15 years ago I’d have had one but at 64 realism rules over the heart…. And the 690 is a beast!
Right on! I agree. T7 is a bit of a handful in this kind of stuff for anyone 😊
You're killing it. Over 2k subs, congrats.

Cool ride on awesome tracks with a great bike - subscribed!!
Awesome, thank you! ✌️
Hello from Colorado! Husky 701 owner here. You did well on the T7! Rear tires must be a significant expense 😆
I have noticed some wear and tear 😂
those small trails though the forest are not mine, but very good video !
What a great video, theTennere sounds awesome!
It does! I got the HP-Corse sp-1 short titanium slipon. In my opinion the best option for the Tenere.
Looked like a lot of fun, bet you where sore the next day. I like this kind of content and the longer videos.
Thanks! Took a few days to recover 😂
Great video as always. Looks like a lot of fun with that beast as well 😄👍🏻 Hope that you get your hands on a Kove 450 😊👍🏻
Trying to get one to test but I just got info that it’s not gonna happen this season due to some problems with EU regulations 😔 Hope to get to see one early next year..
Thanks! And yes it is fun with the beast too 😄
Please, everyone, listen. Chinese bikes are just normal bikes sold cheaper. NOTHING MORE. Plagism, no reliability... just a waste of money. Always go japanese. I am looking forward to the DRZ 400 from Suzuki
@@alejandrov8612you just contradicted yourself
THat's some epic riding you guys have in Finland. Would be awesome if you guys did a trip to Iceland and filmed all the riding there.
On my bucket list for sure! One day for sure I will ride the beautiful land of volcanos 😁
Your trip was way way cooler than mine!! lol
Awesome !! What camera do you use?
Dji Osmo action 3 and 4
Great video and solid performance from the Tenere. You did well on the TYRES, E07? What handlebars do you have? They look like they have more height and sweep?
GOOD eye! I have the 'Protaper EVO Adventure bar 63-4026' on the Tenere. It's taller and much more sweep than the almost straight stock bar. Stock bar was making my wrist hurt on longer rides so this was a good option for me. Although now I have to say as I'm only 175cm the bar is maybe a tad too tall so I might still swap it at some point.
But I rode this setup for the last 15 000km and it's pretty good. I would imagine with someone 185cm or more this bar would be even nicer.
@@PatchedBandit Thanks. I love the bars when standing but also feel they need more sweep on long rides on road. I also have 20mm risers. Maybe the pro tapers would work for me? I'll check them out.
Maybe without the risers they might work even better than your current setup. To me the stock bar setup on the T7 was amazing while offroading & standing on the pegs. But touring long days on the saddle and sitting a lot of that time they were not so great.
I swapped the bars before I rode from Finland To Greece end of last year and the protaper bars were nice for that.
You did well considering those crap tires and the extremely top heavy T7. The 690/701 will eat its lunch off-road over the course of a full day. I had a nicely equipped 800 Adventure R which I loved but off-road these 400+ pound bikes take a toll on your body over the course of a day, even more so over the course of a week like when on a BDR. I moved to a KTM 500 and built it into a ultra light weight ADV bike of sorts and I couldn't be happier when off-road. Sure I miss the quick shifter and cruise control when on the road but I just do my best to not ride pavement as much as possible now lol. I'll likely add a GS/GSA to the fold next for a long distance runner than can still get dirty from time to time but the majority of my off-road travel will be on the 500 moving forward.
Sounds fantastic. I've been dreaming about buying a KTM EXC 500 and transforming it to fit all my offroading needs. I'm probably at the very latest gonna do that purchase next season!
Ride safe!
I have a 690 as a commuter/adventure/dirt fun bike. Ride it every day, rain, hail or shine. It really is a unicorn.
Great scenery and riding. As a new resident in Finland, what are the rules to riding trails like these? Is there a certain designation for places you can ride, or does Everyman rights cover any trail for motorbikes too?
Mostly forbidden… 😄 lots of enduro tracks are available too though but they are not free. Depending on where you live you should make some rider friends who know some routes.
You can also join my discord(s) from my links to make connections 👍👍
Well done all. Good speed on some slippery pieces ;)
Riding with good friends is the best you can do in offroad-biking.
I beleave you need proper tyres in this wet conditions to have more grip and "Auswurf", the german term for much mud driven out by the rear tyre.
Very nice offroad tracks there in Finnland!
Very true! Tires were SHIT 😂
That was awesome!!!
Yes it was!
Try Motoz tyres, great grip and longevity…either standard Tractionator Adventure or the more hard enduro versions that are still road legal.
with those tires you did great
13:21 that is a major sausage fest, haha!! Great ride, bikes, views and company!!
3 years ago I traded my 690 for a T7 - those 50 kg extra you really feel when doing tricky offroad stuff.
On the other hand the T7 has not let me down yet and it has done almost 50.000 km - The KTM had 4 engine rebuilds and various electrical issues over 20.000 km
Ouch. T7's are ultra reliable that's for sure.
Is it just me as a biased T7 owners, the T7 is performing extremely well compared to the more enduro focused KTM 690. Now that could also be rider experience, you seem very capable and experienced.
I'm a very mediocre rider to be fair. The softer the sand the slower I am compared to the lighter KTM's 😊 Some of that is due to to the crap tires that I have on though. 8000km already done with 50/50 tires they are not what they used to be 😂
This ride was so nice that I'm probably gonna do a comeback when I get some more agressive rubber on the beast 🙂 Thanks for watching!
Get the Camel ADV one finger clutch linkage...worth every penny.
Great ride! :)
It was! You need to get that Rally to Finland one day 😉
looks like awesome fun. T7 held it's own, it's still king. brilliant roads, defo popping into Finland..
Worht it! Join the discord for info and possibilty for meetup too 🫡
Having owned a Tenere, it’s no king. The gearbox compared to my Suzukis, is a bag of dicks. I’d own a 690 any day over a Tenere.
The 890 Adventure R laughs mockingly
@@martyn_gyou must be ham fisted, I’ve owned way more bikes that you and ride at a much higher lever and the gearbox on the Tenere is fine
Solid toh sağlam ,enduro 🎉
Four friends on awesome tracks, that's the good life! I'm back from Wales, now it's time for some new videos. Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg
Did you do wales TET? Liked it?
@@PatchedBandit Only parts of Wales: #18 Tetty trail, which is 75% tarmac und mud in between, but nice for a solo ride. And #2 Midwales, all the loops around Aberystwyth. Which is gorgeous, 80% tracks, with everything we Enduro riders love. Gravel, mud, stones, grass, ruts, long and deep puddles, hills, slopes. And boy, the sights you see. It's an amazing country. As green as Ireland, as rough as the Highlands, much nearer from Nürnberg and pretty empty in September. Probably all year round. Maybe it was my best stretch of enduro trails ever. I was so happy with my 105 kg lightish Beta Alp 200. Take your van and your CRF 300. You'll love it. If you need AirBnBs or B&Bs or self-catering, let me know. I spent a whole month there with my wife, mostly hiking. Next year back again! Cheerio, Günter
@@enduromotorradtouren sounds awesome! I have an idea to visit there with the van+crf combo next year! :)
@@PatchedBandit You'll love it. There will be a few videos of TET Wales coming up in my channel, so you get an impression. Cheers, Günter
wales is my absolute dream destination i want to head for. i love mud, rain, rocks and gravel.
Really nice video 💪
Thanks
Looked mega slippy. You've done well on such a heavy thing
Thanks! It was very slippery.. raining all day and the tires I have are no good. I need to go again next year with some good tires and rip these tracks again 💪
But it was fun anyway 🙂
i also have to wear glasses and it's a pain when doing offroad in the rain. but rain is so much fun!
True 🤓
"A rock in the face every once in awhile." Yeah. You can say that. I once took a baseball size rock to the mouth at 5th hear all out racing down the road in Ocotillo Wells. Luckily my chin bar slowed it down.... a little bit. Almost jnocked me off my bike. Blacked out completely for maybe 30 seconds. I just held the throttle and bars steady and hiped to not die. My vission came back, and I was able to make it to camp.
Damn.. thats a bit bigger than anyone needs 😮💨
Even though that was great writing sausages looked so good.
Cool ride 👍
Thanks 👍
Fantastico !!!!
That T7 sounds mean!!!!!! Although the KTM is definitely a better off-road machine.. I'd pick the T7 if I did more on-road, and the KTM if I did more off-road.. Both great bikes though... Such a beautiful country... Looks a bit like Oregon
Fully agree! Still don't know any adventurebike that sounds better than the T7 especially with the HP-Corse slipon that I have on it 😊
I have a Husky 701.. It cannot beat the Tenere engine sound.
The sound alone makes it tough to sell 😅
The Chinese have learned to copy the easy clutch of the Camel ADV. It’s very easy to order.
For the forests of Karjalan tasavalta (greetings from St. Petersburg) I use Mitas E10. Good on wet ground, but enough for 10k km.
If you are in my Discord plz send me some more info about this 😊
@@PatchedBandit hey guys, sharing = caring 😇
Join the discord 😏😅
@@PatchedBandit what’s a discord? Anyways I found it already on nicecnc. Thanks for not caring.
Free ferry? That's some nice nature though.
Yes. Completely free for anyone.
That is impressive on those tires 😅
Thanks 😅
So are you getting a 690 or keeping the T7? :-)
Still thinking about it :) I put the Tenere in winter storage already but when spring comes I need to think about it again.. In the meantime I'm riding my CRF300L during the winter :)
T7s are fine bikes. A guy I ride with has one. But I’ll keep my KTM thank you! ♥️🏍️
Fair enough 😊 T7 is pretty heavy for this job anyway..
You have a beautiful home it's funny it really doesn't look to much different then here in Washington state usa
You are pretty high up there in the cold north too 🙂 I bet you have some awesome mountains that we in Finland are lacking quite badly 😅
@PatchedBandit we definitely have mountains it's a blessing and a curse but more of a blessing thanks for taking the time to make your videos they are definitely entertaining to watch for us fellow's that will probably never get to see the rest if the world I just picked up a 690 and I battled between the t700 but for the terrain I'm in the 690 just made more sense at the time but after watching you I question that decision lol
You made a good pick. T7 is a problem in tricky spots especially going about it alone. It does' dictate lot of the time for me to back out of riding some bits as going alone it can get so badly stuck it's a real problem 😂 Group rides are a good place to put it in some trouble but alone not so much.
When I ride my CRF300L everything is on 'easy mode' compared and it's a nice feeling when you have the cohones to try some tricky spots alone too.
As a 1 bike garage 690 is in a class of it's own. There is nothing out there to even compete with this bike in my opinion.. maybe KOVE 450 or something crazy like that but then again even that has service intervals like a racing bike.
BIG guys over 6ft and with a heavy strong build can definitely ride the T7 like I do my CRF. I've seem some people lift the T7 with 1 hand like it's an enduro bike.. that's not me though 😂 It's HEAVY especially when you are gased out from the ride and in some soft sand etc..
@PatchedBandit I agree completely I had the ktm 1090 I'm out a lot alone and I got in to some pretty sketchy situations up in the mountains so I decided to downsize to something more manageable
i bough one finger clutch from Australia it is awesome, im from europe
I have one coming also 😊
I'd love to have your camera setup one day.
It's just Dji osmo action 3 and 4.
I just renewed my mic setup after making this video so next ones will have better sound. I'm gonna do a motovlog setup video some day soon'ish.
@PatchedBandit I'm using the gopro hero 11 black, picking up an insta 360 January. Having 2 cameras makes the ride so much more interesting.
Eventually, I'll try to motovlog too. I'm trying to figure out what I want my channel wants to say still.
@@KTM_OujousMy advice is to not overhink it at the beginning. You’ll tweak it as you go anyway and starting is the most important thing.
@PatchedBandit ye. I'm uploading simple things right now to the other social media that is more for photography under ktm_oujous till I get my footing
Please invest in some goggles before you lose an eye! nice riding. yo from NZ
I do have goggles and multiple helmets but usually when I make videos I ride closed visor helmets due to better sound insulation.
1. Better sound for video
2. Nicer when its raining
3. Easier to wipe eyeglasses at stops
4. Easier to wear eyelasses compared to goggles.
But yes I agree in this ride the goggles would have been a safer but less practical option.
Nice video. Tenere wasn't worse!
Definitely the tricky parts would have been easier with the lighter bikes but I managed to hang in there well enough 😅
T7 has a special fun factor when taken to tougher tracks. It always manages to surprise me on what it's willing to do even in my hands and with shoddy tires 😆
It is a great bike for sure!
These three gentlemen, don't drink coffee, just add oil to your motorcycles buhauhauhauhauh
I would gear down bike save cluch and hand 👍
Clutch slipping increase traction and control over the bike on more technical slow terrain. Especially nice with the crap rear tire I have on this bike 😅
On road you can keep up no problem, but off-road, is where the 690 Enduro shines as a great adventure bike. My 690 Enduro is almost 60 kg lighter than the Tenere 700, has much better suspension. So with the same riders on both bikes, no you would not be able to keep up with the Tenere 700 off-road.
True. But it’s fun to try ☝️😜
Awesome stuff Guys
Those 690s are great
But that 700 sounds the best
Thanks for sharing from Australia Cheers
Thanks for watching!
That track is for a 450 o 250 . !!!!!
Would be easier for sure.. but isn't it fun to do it with a big one too 😊
Yam power 👍👍🇬🇧
Hieno pätkä ja vähän erilaisia kivoja kuvakulmia kun siinä ekassa jonka näin adv laittamana.... 👍
Kiitti! 🙏
fck great ride ;-) in some places you great ride . amazing fun track and campfire plase ar cool ;-) tnx for video
Thanks 👍 Hailuoto is a great place to visit even though we had to dig a deer ked from my eye at the end 😅
Tais olla hauskin päivä ikinä 😂
Aika lähellä.. kyllä Italian Alpit menee eelle 😅
Why "sausage enduro"? :)
Did you watch the whole vid? 😋😅
@@PatchedBandit Yeah, I did. Was just messing with you. We do Shnizel enduro :)
I like watching them from time to time but youtube algorithm doesn't really recommend this kind of videos (pure offroad riding) to many people (unlike adventure riding) and/or there is also a ton of similar content out there...just today I got recommended a video from 2 dutch offroaders that make exotic offroad trips but their videos have very little views, except for 4-5. They are called in2adventure. Our brains cant watch more than a few minutes of dirtroads before there needs to be a cut and something new, not just another single trail etcetc. That's my view.
If you enjoy making this kind of stuff, do it, but if there is not much of an audience, it doesn't make too much sense unfortunately.
Just dont have any expectations, otherwise you will end up like that bloke Johannes from Norway who just completely quit social media bc he had at least some expectations, went all in on his channel but it never got to where he wanted it so he became disappointed and left in a bit of a drastic manner🥲
edit: I didnt leave any feedback, your editing is great imho, the length is not that important according to the ladies ;)
Yoy are right. It is tough to make videos like this interesting enough for youtube to recommend them to anyone. I like making these kind of videos for sure but I like riding more than editing these so if they don't get views it is not worth the effort.
Especially as these kind of videos take a lot of time in the edit as there is SO MUCH material to go through 😂
I enjoy making videos but I also like them to be entertaining and/or informative to the audiences. Just making videos for the sake of making them is not all that fun without the community.
Many youtubers quit because they expect the huge effort to result in similarly huge viewcounts but that's almost never the case. I don't really have any huge expectations as I'm very surprised about even the current rate of growth on this channel. There are so many better channels people can be watching 😅
Thanks for the comment and input! 😁
well before starting then lets see this same bhp more or less weight more orless ish can you all ride lets find who crap then.......
🤔
@@PatchedBandit witch one was worst rider we can just blame him instead of the bike haha
