Just the initial setup, more to come! After dialing in the rear sag, playing with tire pressures, dialing in the suspension settings, and raising the forks one line, I am really starting to gel with the 690 Rally.

Next up... I'm thinking more aggressive tires, a lithium battery to save weight, and maybe an exhaust to save weight and reduce heat. I truly believe this bike is the closest to the Unicorn we've ever seen from the factory.

I'm grateful to @bmwmotorradusa for lending me an R1300RT ASA for the next few months. Like many of you, I wonder...

❓️is it really a better tourer than a GSA? Does the 17" front wheel really make a difference in handling? Is the wind protection that important?
❓️is the legroom an issue?
❓️is it worth over $30,000?
❓️is it better than a Goldwing, K1600GTL or a Road Glide?

I plan to make a few small tweaks and get some decent miles under my belt. Stay tuned. Can it convert this GS loyalist?

In-depth first ride review of the brand new Ducati Desmo450 EDS goes live this week. Here are a few things to know about it:

⭐The 450cc engine uses a desmodromic valvetrain (no valve springs) for linear power from low rpm to high rpm
⭐Compared to the MX bike, the EDS has a different cam profile, throttle body, exhaust system, a heavier crank and flywheel, a more powerful stator, and revised gear ratios.
⭐Through the optional smartphone app and Wi-Fi module, the bike adjusts the recommended maintenance schedule depending on how you are riding it
⭐Ducati offers three levels of performance upgrade kits available as dealer installed options, which can drop up to 21 lb (10 kg) and add up to 14 HP (though this may make the bike "closed course only")

Should KTM, Husqvarna, Beta and Honda be nervous? Find out in my video review.

Thoughts on the new 450 dual sport? Sound off below.

I'm in Greece for the launch of the KTM 690 Rally! I'll be riding it for 2 days mostly off road. Here are answers to some of your early questions:

💥USA MSRP is $14,199, $800 more than the 690 Enduro R
💥gear ratios, suspension and motor are unchanged from 690 Enduro
💥cruise control is available as a software unlock (price TBA)
💥seat height is 36.8 in or 935mm
💥if you have a 690 Enduro now, you can't fit the tanks or fairing or tower because the frame is slightly different
💥wet weight is 390 lb or 177 kg with 5.3 gal or 20l fuel
💥yes there are 3 fuel caps. The 2 front tanks are cross connected so they drain at the same rate. A switch allows you to select front or rear fuel tanks. Front and rear have separate reserve indicators.
🔥Mosko moto is now an official KTM powerparts partner, Reckless 10 shown with a Gnoblin mount.

Anything else? I'll share some early ride impressions tomorrow.

I've owned 3 Africa Twins since it was reintroduced back in 2016. Good looks, solid performance both on and off road, reliability, resale value, useful tech and features... just some reasons I love them.

Honda graciously agreed to let me ride this one - a 2026 standard DCT - for the next 10 months. I can't wait to put it through it's paces. I'm particularly curious how the DCT will perform in more challenging off road situations.

The upgrades have already begun. Thanks @rmatvmc for sending tires... a Tusk 2Track rear, and a Mitas Enduro Trail XT+ front. Very soon it will receive protection from @altrider_official and luggage from @moskomoto . Plus @doubletakemirrors and @denali_electronics lights courtesy of @revzilla

More to come!

Today, CFMOTO officially announced the Ibex 950 as a 2027 model for the USA. The Ibex 950 was recently released in some markets at the 1000MT-X, and since then I've had many requests to review it. With it now coming into the USA officially, we will make that happen!

Here's what you need to know about CFMOTO's new flagship ADV motorcycle:

➕MSRP: $12,499 with a 2-year warranty
➕Engine: 946cc parallel twin, 112 HP (class leading) and 78 ft-lb (105 Nm)
➕Wet weight (fully fueled): 489 lb (221 kg)
➕Wheelset: 21/18 tubeless spoked
➕Fuel: 5.9 gallons, or 22L
➕Suspension: KYB fully adjustable F/R with 9.1 in (230mm) travel
➕Ground clearance: 9.4 in(240mm)
➕Brakes: Brembo M4.32
➕Colors: Green or Black
➕Standard Equipment: 8" TFT portrait style screen, ride modes, 6-axis IMU with lean sensitive ABS and TC, quickshifter, cruise control, TPMS, 22-position adjustable steering damper, adjustable windscreen, 2 USB ports, heated grips, heated seat, and more.

With a low-slung, saddle style fuel tank similar to the KTM 890 Adventure, weight balance should be much improved versus the Ibex 800. Plus, the list of specs and standard equipment is pretty mind-blowing considering the price tag, when compared to the competition.

What are your thoughts?
