After six months of ownership and over 2000 miles on my 2023 KTM 890 Adventure R, I have completed a comprehensive, long term review of what is often referred to as the greatest mid weight adventure motorcycle ever made. Does the 890 Adventure live up to the hype? Is it worth the cost, especially with the financial future of KTM and the other brands under the umbrella of the Perrier Group being so uncertain? Should you buy this bike regardless? In this video I will discuss everything that I have learned about the bike, go over what I like and dislike, and address some of the more common complaints about the bike, especially the 890 parallel twin LC8 and the camshaft problems associated with it.

To date I have riden my 890 Adventure R is some very rough places over tough terrain. I have taken it on single track near my home in Denver, CO. I've ridden over 800 mile through the brutal west Texas desert while doing the Big Bend BDR-X, spent several hours on tarmac both highway and twisty mountain roads and have, in general, taken the KTM on just about every type of terrain you'd expect an adventure bike to ride over.

Adventure riding means different things to different folks, but to me it means being able to ride over all but the most unforgivable terrain. It must be able to get you a thousand miles down the highway while on your way to an off-road destination where the motorcycle will see anything from fast country dirt roads, to exciting two track and OHV trails, and even single track. SO, that is what I based my assessment of the KTM 890 Adventure R on. There has been much discussion about the faulty camshafts, poorly designed oil galleys, braking issues, and of course the electrical gremlins that KTM is known for. Did I experience all (or even any) of these issues? Watch the video to see exactly what I think about the KTM 890 Adventure R and if I regret buying the bike, or if I consider it money well spent.
