KTM690 vs KTM890 comparision on TET Estonia - Day #1

This is first episode of 3 day ride on TET Estonia from Tallinn to Alatskivi.
We have two bikes - my KTM690 and we rented KTM890 from local dealer.
As we switch bikes with Kaur over these days we both are able to try both bikes in various conditions from smooth gravel to sandy hillclimbs and mud.
On the first day we start from Jälgimäe at the local KTM dealer and take the TET track that goes to east from Tallinn through Soodla and Kõrvemaa offering one of the best tracks near Tallinn. We end the day at Rava campground.
Stats of Day #1:
Distance: 264km
Ride time: 5:41
Avg speed: 46.5km/h

Nice! Hope I get the chance to try that section this summer! Did the islands back in 2022 with my 790 👍

[@HennExplores]

Yep, eastern route is really nice, here in these episodes we didnt had time for southern part, but suthern part close russian and latvian borders is also worth doing :)

[@AdvRiderFi]

Need to explore these trails one day. Aitäh for the video!

[@HennExplores]

Yep, Estonian TET is pretty nice, specially the Kõrvemaa, Aidu quarry and most of the Southern part close to Latvian border (and of course islands!) - so all in all ~10days of really nice riding close to your home - tervetuloa :)

Ive got both of these bikes, as a life long dirtrider, the 890R is no dirtbike. It out weighs me by 300 lbs.
The 690 most assuredly is a dirtbike.

Mõnus ja rahulik vaatamine. Tänud!

[@HennExplores]

Tänud, mul veel ports musta materjali eelmisest suvest, ehk jõuan enne kevadet puhtaks lõigata ja üles panna :)

[@nozzzz]

Eks ta ole :) Filmida on isegi tore a see materjali kokku lõikamine, eriti kui seda on palju kogunenud, noh, see nõuab pingutust. Ja aega. @@HennExplores

Great riding, but you 'compare' the bikes???? Then better put a better rear tyre on the 890 then first, a Motoz Tractionator Desert a good one, and then still you're comparing pears with apples! A lighter bike will be better in technical stuff, and a heavier bike will be more comfortable on faster bits.... you cannot 'compare' this.

[@HennExplores]

Yep, for every comparision we need to agree what we are comparing - for me this comparision was mostly: can I ride also bigger 890 on Estonian TET and where it feels better and where I'd prefer 690

[@jancuyvers580]

too much and too slow talking for me.... sorry guys...

[@sund5]

I watched it in X2 Speed, nice that you can do that on youtube. But yeah, maybe it should have been a 6 min. video :D
