I'm 42. Haven't ridden for 5 years, but i just bought my second S1000RR. Yes it's addictive and it can get you into trouble, but ironically, i feel safer on this bike than most others because of its capabilities.
I love watching people ride a race bike and watching them on a track is one of my favorite kinds of video, I enjoyed the videos you did with this bike and look forward to whatever comes next. Take care and be safe!
I'm a visor SHUT rider, hardly ever open it, prescription glasses (clear) use internal tinted visor when needed. Another enjoyable video. Liked the Verisure rant, had a similar experience in UK.
I ride with a clear visor and prescription Oakley glasses w/ transition lenses. These automatically adjust to ambient light levels. Ride in Texas heat, so visor is up at speeds under 40 mph. It will feel like over 110deg F this afternoon.😰 Have over 14.5k miles on my DesertX in 13 months. Michelin Karoo Road tires installed, makes it ride like a big SuperMoto. 🤣
Always drive with a tinted visor closed, or just a small bit open, had a few times that there was something flying in my face, thanks for those belgian roads😂
i’ve got the new 1300 GS ..it is absolutely a better bike that the old GS …but you enjoy your KTM so much ..so go with your heart and keep it …but for business the GS/GSA might be better for you ..first world issues ..have both 😂
Binnen een week of 2 gaan ze de nieuwe adventure voorstellen, ff afwachten zou ik zeggen. Ben benieuwd, ik heb de 1300 trophy supertevree ma de gsa denk ik ga beestig zijn
Are you really getting so old it's time for a BMW GS? 🤣 Maybe wait for the new 1390 Super Adventure? If you do most road riding then maybe go for the 1390 S model. It's easy to make the 1290 very comfortable. Replace the seat cover with one from Tappzzeria Italia (comfort version) or buy a KTM powerparts rally seat. Maybe even lower footpegs depending on your knee angle. Higher windscreen if you do a lot of touring. I have a Tappezeria seat cover and a WRS caponord screen on my 2021 1290 SAR, no problems at all riding 600km in one day when touring.
M1000RR or M1000XR? 😄
RR for sure
3 of them: m1000r, m1000rr & m1000xr)
XR all the way.
Go for m1000xr
@LifeofSmokey You missed the "T" in the title "the"

Visor open with either (internal) sun-visor down or sunglasses on. But visor open, I like the fresh air :)
Change it, but with only KTM 1390 Super Adventure 😊
Smokey giving up the Ready to Race for Starbucks….you be OLD😂😂😂😂

July 1 ❤😂🎉🇵🇷 Fast LaneD
Visor open + sun glasses if weather allows it. Only annoying thing is those bugs flying in and tickling your ears.

Love the KTM, such a great engine. I have zero BMW experience, but LOVE my LC8. Keep the SAR!!

Vizier dicht (heb een fotochromisch vizier, kleurt met de zon mee) enkel open als het zeer warm is
GS top heavy and about as exciting as dish water keep the KTM

Wasn't there a new R1300GS Adventure at the dealership when you returned the M1000RR? Time on video 20:49.
No the 1300 GSA was released 3 days ago 😎
🤩🤩
This is good bike model smokey😊
How about the new 2025 gs 500
Smokey.... ideetje; kan je eens een video maken over hoe jij in drukke steden/file rijdt? Tips enzovoort
When you said something about taxes i knew you lived in belgium
1390 adventure
Get the new GSA buddy, for comfort the GSA is top
Trade it in for the GS , the 1290 is already starting to have malfunctions on the dash....it will get worse.
Wait for the Adventure then make your decision between the two.
Are you really getting so old it's time for a BMW GS? 🤣
Maybe wait for the new 1390 Super Adventure?
If you do most road riding then maybe go for the 1390 S model.

Wait for the 1390 adventure before u make a decision
19:54 🤨
Why not wait for the new KTM super adventure 1390/1490
Why not A Multistrada V4 Rally?
That's one of my favourite motorcycles at the moment 😎
@@LifeofSmokey van mij ook 😛
Hou de KTM! GS zie je al zoveel rijden...
Visor open sunglasses.
you are too young for an GS) maybe you should test some Multistrada's?
Wait for the new ktm adventure smokey.....😂😂1300 ugly hahaha
Hi
If you buy the GS you Are officialy old 🤣
Keep the KTM! Or at least wait for the 1390 SAR/SAS before taking any decision you maybe regred
I would wait for the KTM 1390 SAR/S which should be available early next year. You are not stepping up going to the BMW, you are stepping down.. 😁
Keep the KTM. GS is great but boring.

you want a shit roads and high taxs, come to Australia!!!!
