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?

I'm in Idaho for the North American press launch of the 2026 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid (MSRP $12,999). I've been waiting years to ride one of these! And for 2026 we are lucky to get a bunch of updates as this bike comes to North America, finally. Specific questions, fire away below so I can cover them in my review. Thanks @yamahamotorusa for inviting me.

A larger fuel tank, cruise control, advanced rider aids, and way better suspension... these are the highlights. So happy we finally get the World Raid!

The KTM 1390 Super Adventure R and the 1390 Super Adventure S EVO are here for full reviews. Here's why I am super stoked about these new 1390s:

➕173 horsepower. how can you go wrong with that?
➕new engine also has smoother power delivery due to Camshift VVT
➕they feel lighter than the competition due to the low fuel tanks
➕the S EVO has the new automated manual transmission (AMT), which works great and gives you manual or auto shifting options
➕the previous 1290 SA's were some of the most entertaining bikes I've ever tested, so these should be even better?

Stay tuned for the videos! Thanks @ktmusa for the loans. @chrisfillmore11 is a legend.

First episode on the all-new 2026 Ducati DesertX V2 is live. Here are some reasons I decided to be an early adopter of this brand new 2nd gen DesertX:

➕I've never owned a Ducati (how is this possible since I've owned close to 80 bikes?)
➕I fell in love with the new V2 engine after testing it in the Multistrada V2
➕They fixed literally everything I complained about on the first gen.

Some first ride impressions: ultra smooth and very free-revving engine, much improved suspension, less wind buffeting, great brakes, and probably the most stable feeling ADV I've ever ridden (long wheelbase really helps). I also think this has the best road handling of any 21" front bike.

More to come!
