KTM 990 Adventure Yosemite motorcycle trip November 14th and 15th, 2015.
Very normal!!!!
Here`s my story. I`ve never been riding a motorcycle. Never in my life. This year I`ve decided that I want to change that, so in spring of this year I bought my first motorcycle. Transalp 650. Fixed the thing up and went for my first adventures trough the woods and trails. The little Honda was and is a nice, lovely machine - nimble, yet forgiving, comfortable and super reliable. I love that bike with all my heart. One day my riding buddy offered me to take his 990 ADV for a spin. In the beginning I was a bit intimidated by the sheer size, weight and power of a KTM but I took a leap of faith and decided to try the thing out. Compared with Transalp, KTM was literally out of this world. It`s like comparing walking with flying. My ride with 990 ADV lasted for 10 minutes but I already knew that this is the one bike to rule them all. Fast forward for 2 more months and in the middle of June I found a sketchy deal - 950ADV without MOT and in non running condition. Again I took a leap of faith and took the thing home. Cleaned the carbs, fixed the low oil pressure issues and now i roam around the local woods on a 2003. KTM 950ADV. I know that it`s not the wisest of decisions to buy this sort of bike in the first ever motorcycle season but I can`t help myself, i`m totally obsessed with it. The way KTM rides is just insane. The raw, menacing and unforgiving experience just reminds me to treat it with respect, to take things slow, to focus on technical riding not flying around with wide open throttle and just to enjoy the world`s greatest rally bike together with awesome trails and woods i`m riding around. I know that there are faster, newer bikes. I know that people love their GS`es and Teneres, they truly are great bikes, but the greatest bike of them all is the one that you enjoy riding the most. For me it`s the 950ADV. Happy riding and happy wrenching, friends! Ride safe and I see you on the trails!
@@reinisrudzitis4802 Cheers!
Best bike I ever had. mine was 2007, i now have a 2021 Africa Twin and it feels on road very similar to the 990. But still not as good.
31:42 native brook trout stream !
My ktm is broken down right now. I sent the carb out to get rebuilt and ordered a bunch of parts from Rocky Mountain coming today. Watching this video makes me want to get that girl back on her wheels and fired up .
I badly need to take more trips soon as well. I hope that your bike makes a full recovery.
@briancrumpacker I really enjoyed the couple of.videos I've watched so far , great stuff brother.
Those trips are the greatest!
4 yrs later and yes sir they are dead!
Intro... legendary
What is the suspension setup dude ..i mean travel?....both front and back?
The 3013 Baja has 210mm travel front and back.
Dude can you mention exactly which high fender used in front by writing it down here..
I have the same motorbike.....no electronics, no maps, no comfort......you feel her, you fear her......but the worse is the weather the more you wanna go with her and ask to bring you everywhere...until you endure...because she will endure......heavy, steady and thirsty!
Hi Brian! Do you still have your KTM 990 Adventure?
Of course I do. Life has gone sideways in the last couple years, but the adventures are only on pause, not over. Cheers!
@@briancrumpacker I'm a newer rider on a Yamaha WR250R and looking for my next bike. A good condition 2010 KTM Adventure popped up for sale in my area and giving it some consideration. Might be too heavy and powerful for me at this time, but who knows. Also considering the 500's and 690/701 dual sports too.? Sean 👍🏻🇺🇸🏍️🍻
@@therealtashiro the 990 is a very unforgiving bike and not something that I would recommend, especially if you plan to ride in the dirt. Plus if you're not a technician, then you'll be draining your savings paying someone else to work on it for even just the basic stuff.
@@briancrumpacker Thanks for the advice! Do you have any recommendations for a future bike?
@@therealtashiro Dirt only? Or are you looking for a bike that can get on the freeway?
Got a 950sm in 2008, never looked back.
That looks like pretty darn cool fun!
hey.... ever seen my truth channel?
I have to say I own one it’s the most enthralling bike I’ve ever owned raw yet smooth exciting but relaxing I feel invincible when I ride it turns heads like nothing I’ve ever owned I stand comfortably at 80 mph down the interstate I hate coming back home I just want to keep going and going to never stop to ride without end to see what I have never seen before to live to ride to ride to live I will never part with this bike it is now a part of me and me to it ride on ride long
I enjoyed this video, the sound, and the unique camera angles. Good stuff! I have a 990 and 790. Each are great. 990 sounds badass! Cheers!
Cheers!
Excelent video Brian, you described very precisely with a short video and the exact words, the feeling of thousands of riders around the world, I laughed when you said that you just sit with a beer in your hand just to contemplate your bike, cause I do the exact same thing! Congratulations and greetings from Baja, Mexico.
Cheers Carlos!
To answer your question about sportbikes being dead, my answer would be, "Depends on the age of the rider. " In my 30's and 40's while living in Southern CA during the late 1980;s and early 1990's, I only rode sportbikes. I lived in Seal Beach and would load them in my van and drive to the base of Angeles Crest Highway, unload the bike, put on leathers, boot, and gloves to spend the early morning racing with friends up to Newcomb's Ranch for breakfast, then we would race up to Wrightwood to have lunch. Following lunch, back to Newcomb's, then back to the van to load up the bike, and back to home at the beach. Another favorite sportbike adventure was to take the bike/van up to Mammoth Lakes, CA, then race over Tioga Road to Yosemite Valley with a ridding buddy. But after moving to a remote section of CO in 1994, I left sportbikes and moved on to KTM 350 and 500 street legal dirt bikes. Recently, my love of high performance brought me to a 2017 KTM 1090 Adventure R. I prefer fewer electronics, lighter weight, and the beautiful rally style headlight and fairing over the newer 790/890/1190/1290 bikes. I am 71 now, and use the 2023 KTM 350 EXC-F for moderate to technical riding, and use the 1090 R to ride fast on paved roads to get to milder and less technical trails, usually in beautiful Aspen forest areas. All my years of riding has taught me that multiple bikes are required to allow the varied roads and off-road trails available, but in my case I only need two bikes! Great video Brian, thank you for bringing back all those awesome memories of my sportbike days!
My first 30 years riding experience was on sport bikes. On this beast I am passing the sport bikes on the twisty backroads here in California. I also have the 500 EXC-F for the trails. Thank you for the feedback, Sir!
Sounds like a Harley V-Twin. Love it! Thanks for sharing. Have an entire garage filled with KTM dirt bikes. I’m thinking the 990 is my next bike.
It would surely not disappoint you. Such a beast.
What mount are you using for your gps/phone over the dash?
That's the Garmin Zumo 590LM on the Ram dash mount. I would not recommend this unit however, as it's always been a glitchy piece of junk.
Классное видео, показан дух байкерской свободы и любовь впечатлений от двухколесной техники. А хозяину и далее получать положительных эмоций от своих байков 👋
Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed it. Peace and bikes to you, Sir.
Your brain doesn't matter!! Loser
Why did I fell in love with such a bike. A low mileage 2013 is almost as expensive as a 2018/2019...Doesn't make things easy.
They are worth loving. This model is simply a beast, with no ABS, traction control or extra electronics to fail. I have not seen anything new that I think would be better.
Goosebumps bud. Loved it. There is just something so unique about these machines which cannot be described in words. I will keep and ride mine until he disintegrates.
It's like riding a buffalo, and they are their own stampede.
The KTM 990 adventure is a fantastic bike and yours is a very nice looking example, you have a great setup there and we loved the video, the only negative is the droning music, it isn’t needed, it would’ve been better to hear the engine of the 990 when you were arriving at camp, not being a negative nelly just telling you from a viewer’s perspective.
Glad you enjoyed it! This video was more about camp than the bike. Merry Christmas!
👏👏👏awesome👌...
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. What year built is it?
It's the 2013 Adventure Baja.
I am the new owner of a 08' KTM 950 SE and have to say that this was the purest and most honest video's i have watched of the hundreds before i bought mine. Who cares what it costs or what other "Experts" think as long as you have a sh*t eatin grin when you ride who cares what they think.
Agree. I have an 07 950SE and a 2017 1090r. So much more fun than all the other bikes I've owned. Even my vmax👍
Brian, had the same experience in 2020 at the same spot was not a bear or birds.
Such an odd thing, so far out in the middle of nowhere. Maybe camp with a game camera and find out?
@@briancrumpacker you and I aren’t the first to have that activity there. We are just two that decided to say something about it. I don’t know if there’s a way to private message on here, I’d like to tell you what my son and I experienced.
@@ojsefg I don't know how to private message either. If there's no character limitations, maybe you can share it here?
@@briancrumpacker too much detail to put here, but there was absence of all sound, I did startle whatever it was by slapping my hand down on the bottom of the tent, it proceeded to shake the living hell out of a small tree in some kind of tantrum and then sprinted bipedally about 100 yards( paced it the next day) in about 10 strides.
I stand around and drink beer 🍻 and stare at it and its totally normal! Priceless! Cheers!!
Dude you made a great video and this bike deserves all the appreciation
I want a KTM 990 now
The answer is yes. I have two, the 08 in orange and 2012 in blue. In the midwest, they turn heads, because hardly anyone has one.
did you buy this bike in southern cali? i swear that is my bike i sold like 6 years ago hahahahaha
I did. Then I had to spend a crap ton of time and money to rebuild and replace all the bent, broken and stripped parts that came with it. Buyer beware.
@@briancrumpacker wow dude must have been a horrible experience for you. I honestly cant recall any bent or borken parts but you did buy a used motorcycle that was used as an adventure bike. So sorry you got ripped off..
I make my own trails in the woods on mh xr650l check my channel. Been contemplating a 990 more power 6.gears and a new feeling very tempting
just picked up a 990R after a hiatus from riding. Yeah, I could've gone newer generation, but he visceral experience of this bike is sublime and, to me, a very big part of why I got it. I think I'm going to enjoy this relationship. Excellent video Brian.
The "R" is a great bike! My Baja is basically an "R" with a little less suspension travel. I agree with you about the newer bikes. There's nothing out there that I would consider to be an upgrade.
Well said Brian! And from time to time we shall remember that this motorbike/project is Fabrizio Meoni's gift to us🙏🏻🙏🏻
Such an amazing gift.
It's nice to see there are others out there who have not only survived the end of the world but are also out there living in it.
Looked like a struggle!
There are lots of trees down up here. Had to stop and remove one blocking the way, and there's just no way to get going again. Back down for another run at 'er.
@@briancrumpacker looked like a good time! Hope you are doing well.
Great video! Liked and subbed ;)
Thanks a lot!
Love this video... so true 😎
Hey you set up the bed in the back, like I threatened I would on that blizzard a few years ago. =) looks like a good time.
I’ve heard Penny Pines is a great place to Dirt Bike. Did you see Staging Areas & marked trails?
I've heard the same, and that's where we stayed on the first night, but it was crawling with day-use humans and the trails were closed. I plan to go back to check it out, thanks Rick!
@@briancrumpacker it’s probably like Foresthill where they close it during snowy months because bikes tear it up too much when it’s that wet.
nice, I was wondering where the mt lion was
Thanks Jon! There are at least three lions, and the female here is looking a bit thinner than usual.
Awesome footage man. Thanks for the upload! Hope to see more MC adventures soon.
Thanks Charlie! I have a backlog of editing to do.
Awesome video! Computers and electronics in the new adventure bikes have destroyed the passion of riding, so my plan is to find this exact bike, thank you for sharing!
That's exactly why I bought this one as well. No ABS, no traction control, just a beast.
@@briancrumpacker finding a Baja edition might be difficult, but finding a well maintained standard model and adding all the Baja additions them myself should not be too difficult...I hope!
NICE VIDEO MY FRIEND..YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME TO BUY ONE & GET RID OF MY SUZI DR650
I've been motorcycle/camping for a few years now. Awesome video . I just subscribed.🏍⛺
