    This is exactly what I rented a couple of years ago to ride around Morocco.
    Prior to that I wasn't even aware of the brand.
    It proved to be comfortable, reliable, economical (with a very long range) and very capable on remote Atlas Mountains tracks.
    Recommend.

      A couple years later the Husky based off the Cagiva was really neat.....in fact the Cagiva WMX250 around 1987 to 89 was a weapon.

    I have been riding Husqvarna bikes for decades. I would recognize the sound of that engine from a distance.
    The SWM is the most honest proposal in the dual sport segment. I got to ride both the KTM 690 and the Husqvarna 701 just six days ago. They are both great bikes, but too expensive. I 'd be more than happy with the SWM.

    Very cool that you reviewed these bikes. I had heard about these awhile ago, and that they were essentially identical in most respects to the Cagiva manufactured Husqvarnas. As someone who has owned several of the Italian-made Husky's, it's awesome that they are back in the form of SWM. My 2006 TE610E is hands down the best dual sport I have owned to date. Very capable on and off road, super reliable and bullet proof design. I've been half temped to further dig and see how many parts actually swap right over, since parts availability for my older ride is really the only downside I've run into yet :)

    These SWM bikes fill a really nice spot in the market. I personally have a 2012 Husky TE310 dual sport that is very similar to the RS300r. They're a kick ass bike with very high quality components, a little on the heavy side compared to the current Husky/KTM but for $4k cheaper, its a no brainer if you ask me. I really hope these bikes catch on over here.

I just subscribed but have watched most of your videos. Before my bike got delivered I promised myself to read the Word before I leave. I think of you now each time too! All riders should ask the Lord for His protection. I find myself thanking Him each ride. I find riding a time where I pray a lot. Every rider that rides by.... I'm lifting them up. I feel really strongly about this: we should all take time to just briefly ask God to protect other riders we see. They have no idea I just prayed for them and that's what I love ! We need as much protection as we can get. Praying that everyone commenting here sees some answered prayer. We all have things going on in our lives. All of us have needs. I'm just so thankful to be riding again. I'm thankful to Sean unashamed of his Faith and inspiring me to follow suit.
    Carry On.

    Yes tire pressure is huge on knobbies. The less knobbie it is, the less freeway speed wobbles show up. I went from a MotoZ desert HT front tire which anything over 60mph was a nightmare. So I swapped out for the very slightly less aggressive MotoZ Adventure tire. Zero wobbles and only slightly less aggressive. And run about 25psi helps too.

I feel that dual sports like this really fit an important niche in the US given all the open land we have. Manufacturers just need to advertise them more and get them to us!

    Nice looking bike. This is what I think an adventure bike should be like. If dual-sport, it's dual-sport++. It's a bit more than I'd want to thrash through the brush or beat down a goat trail, but I'd feel comfortable on any gravel road, fire access road, ATV trail, and maybe some levels of rocky off-road jeep trails and a little sand.
    I think most adventure bikes are more like touring bikes made to do a little off-road. Their geometry looks dirt, but their weight, features, and cost says look rough while doing highway driving because you're going to get stuck in the sand and get exhausted picking it up, and way tempted to carry far to much kit. Kind of how most people drive their $40K+ Jeep, SUV, or pickup almost exclusively on the highway.

    Looks like a decent bike. What's the maintenance schedule like? I have a 2011 KTM 450EXC that's great to ride but requires (according to the manual) a ton of engine maintenance.
    Also betting that the uneasy feeling on the highway is only the tires as knobbies track wierd, depending on the brand/ design.

    • @voornaam3191
      @voornaam3191 Před 2 lety

      Jesus, do you have any idea why a KTM needs more maintenance? Every KTM is in fact a racing bike, you just got a license plate and lights and things, but it is a racing bike.
      You got a racing engine, that has 70 horse power instead of 50. The oil needs to move more heat away. Replace oil and filter often or you will regret being stupid. The camshafts are wilder, you really need to keep checking valve clearance. Average piston speed will be higher, you will need revision earlier. Compression is huge. Suspension and brakes are top quality, not a cheaper version, no compromise. You need to keep these things in top quality. You do not want a KTM with brake discs and brake pads that are almost at the limits. You want full braking performance, not 90% of that.
      Result? I know a rider who told me, he simply cannot handle that bike, when using full power. It is too aggressive, and mind you, this is an experienced track rider. Think about that, the larger KTM's are so fast and strong, you should ask yourself, aren't you more happy riding a less powerful bike? Besides, how the hell do you earn so much money, that you can afford such a great KTM? Riding these things is expensive, simply because these bikes are far better than you'd think.
      If you have no idea about this, maybe you should skip KTM, for now. Do you know what your 450 was built for? Not for stupid highway rides, I can tell you that. Find the most curvy mountain roads you can. Find a meandering river and follow the roads along the water. Or do a trip in a farm State, country roads you know, small roads, dirt roads. Get off the tarmac. Or go to Europe, ride the Alps from Switzerland (and Austria) to Italy or France. Go there for a week. Have fun, that's the idea. Do not ride the highway, ride the small roads along that highway. Make that detour, it is fun.

      @@voornaam3191 my bike is only used for off road. Trails and open area riding. It gets the oil changed regularly. I use to ride mostly 2 strokes. Last one was an old 1985 Cr500 with an ultra light rod & piston, ported head, Boysen reeds, FMF gold pipe & silencer. 120 mph flat out. It would pull the front in fourth just rolling on the throttle, even if you were over the bars and I was 220 at the time.
      I also street ride....2001 VFR 800. Been dirt riding sinceI was little. I fix and maintain anything that I own. I'm assuming the short maintenance schedules on my KTM are for very aggressive, hard core riding conditions but time will tell. Talking with other 450 owners led me to believe that rebuilds are not needed anywhere close to the recommendations in the manual. ....but I've also read horror stories of spun/ seized bearings etc. I guess I'll know soon. Bought my son a TTR 225 to get better on before possibly letting him have the KTM. Too much for him atm.

And thought I might have to switch them out if they were unbearable. But turns out they are DOT approved. And ride well. There is a hum/buzzing at speed. But cornering and traction have been good.
