Quick Ride Episode 7
Complete series:    • Quick Rides  

Thank you KTM Nordic for providing the test bike:   / ktmnordic  

This was my fist time ever touching the 790 and from the short experience I had with it these are my thoughts. The bike feels very different from the big ADV bikes I have gotten used to before and I was a bit puzzled when I was riding on it. I didn't know how to feel about the small size and the bike felt more like a streetbike in initial impressions but I know that is NOT the case.
This is just me getting used to a bike that maybe the first ADV bike really suited for my height of 174cm (5ft 8.5in).
I am very keen on testing this thorolly as soon as possible and give you guys an episode 2 with the smaller KTM offering.

I want to also compare this to the previous Adventure R model that KTM apparently doesn't offer anymore?

I hope you enjoy the short little test I had with the bike anyway. I was not planning on posting this episode at all as I think I didn't portray my feeligs of the bike in the best way possible due to very short amount of time with it but then again I guess that's the whole point of the series :D

What is the Quick Ride series meant to be?

Quick Ride collection is not meant to be this rigid "review" style video that most youtubers are making. There is definitely a place for actual reviews but as I don't have access like that to these bikes I thought I would do things a bit differently than just list you a bunch of specs and hilights of these machines.

I make these videos just to bring you along on a test ride of these bikes. Some episodes might be longer if I get access to a bike for more time but mostly these are short test ride style videos where I try to tell you the audience everything I'm feeling from the bike at that moment and maybe do a closing thought at the end if needed.

Welcome aboard!
