Updates from behind the scenes! I’ve been out testing Beta dual sport bikes, and my full review is coming out soon. We enjoyed some desert based family adventures in the Honda Talon. I also spent a full day riding the new Yamaha WR125R dual sport. Today, Moto Morini dropped by with the new Vettore 450, so testing has already begun on that.

Later this week, I am getting a Kove 800 Rally, and a VOGE 300 Rally for in-depth testing. Friday morning at 8 AM Pacific time, I am hosting my January Q&A Livestream where you can ask me anything (this timing allows my European and some Asian and Indian viewers to tune in live).

Upcoming videos, somewhat in order:
-Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 Review
-Honda Pioneer-5 Review
-BMW R12G/S Review
-Beta RS Review
-Yamaha WR125R Review
-Moto Morini Vettore 450 Review
-Honda Talon-4 Review
-Kove 800X Rally Review
-VOGE 300 Rally Review
-Plus - all the gear guide videos

Thanks for being an awesome community and audience. Onward!

Thank you to the following partners who make these things possible: @leatt_adv @klimmotorcycle @araiamericas @revzilla @rmatvmc @alpinestars @revit_adventure

My month with the BMW R12G/S is coming to an end. From rock-strewn mountain trails, to fast desert 2-track, and twisty pavement, the R12G/S has been an absolute joy. It can't win the spec sheet or the value wars, but it can win your heart.

➕As tested MSRP $21,000 US
➕The Enduro package (which my bike has) adds the 18" rear wheel, larger footpegs, engine guards, taller bars, enduro pro ride mode, skid plate, and handguards.
➕At 505 lb (229 kg) wet, it weighs the same as its main competitor the Triumph Scrambler 1200XE (but, the BMW has more power and it carries its weight better)
➕The dry clutch takes getting used to, and the small fuel range is a challenge.

Full review coming soon!

My Aprilia Tuareg Rally review comes out this week. I TRULY enjoyed my time with this amazing machine. How is the rally different from the standard Tuareg?

➕Stronger, narrower, and tube-type wheelset
➕High front fender
➕Taller, narrower seat
➕SC Project Titanium exhaust
➕Handguards (metal!) and better skid plate
➕Revised (lower and more forward) handlebar position
➕Stiffer fork springs (linear rate)

All this for only $1,300 more than the standard bike. However, in my review I will explain why the standard version is actually going to be better for the *average* rider.

I know that side by sides (SXS) are divisive. I share your concerns about reckless driving and behavior by some operators, and the close calls on the trail.

That being said... SXS's are a HUGE industry, they are useful for both work and play, and your whole family can get an open-air, off road experience. It's awesome to be able to take my family to places I normally can't take them (they don't ride bikes).

There will be *maybe* 4 videos this year covering SXS's. The other 75 or so videos will be motorcycles, so don't worry!

Do you have a SXS for work or play? If so, which one? Chime in below.

A huge thanks to ‪@rmatvmc‬ for outfitting my wife and daughter with protective gear.

Check out the video Law Tigers put together from our recent ride in Arizona. Warning for parents: strong language. My own video of the ride is coming soon. I rode the Tuareg Rally, and it performed amazing, my review on that bike also coming soon. At nearly 15 hours in the saddle it was one of my longest riding days ever. #motorcycle #adventurebike

Beta has kindly dropped off their 2026 RS 350 dual sport bike (MSRP $12,390) for testing. Like the KTM 350EXC-F ($13,049) it competes with, the Beta RS (available in 350, 390, 430, and 500 versions) is a "street legal enduro", made to dominate off road, but not intended for long stints on the highway.

Since it's less expensive than the KTM or Husqvarna, and offers additional features like a standard map switch, traction control, and a Trail Tech Voyager GPS, should a Beta be on top of your shopping list? Let's find out.

Since I personally own a 2022 Beta 500 RR-S, I can also offer a comparison between the different engine displacements and how they affect the riding experience.

What do you want to know about Beta dual sports?
