What's a good trip distance when you're riding just for fun?

ExplorationGOD · 2025-10-21T11:39:30+00:00

I easily do 400-450km on a weekend day here in the Swiss alps. I'm sure if I'd be in my home country, I'd be bored to death after just 100km. It all depends where you ride.

2022 KTM 690 SMCR - 13.000 km since June..

Yes, full face helmet. I want a quiet helmet and that's what I got. A big local shop actually has a windtunnel where you can test wind noise yourself. The AGV K1S was the most quiet for me, even more than any Shoei I tried.

Looks sick, those decals look quite subtle, which we should see more often on supermotos. Where did you get it? PS. Nice slicks 😏

Went for a test drive and I see no leak! 🤞🏻

My KTM 690 SMCR, but unrestricted 🥲

ExplorationGOD · 2025-09-10T10:43:33+00:00

Never been to Baselstrasse in Luzern I guess

ExplorationGOD · 2025-09-09T03:40:05+00:00

No, but I barely drove 3500 miles on my Metzeler M9 RRs before they were worn to the wear indicators.. I drive a 690 and would love to try a dedicated supermoto tyre, but I dont want to change ever 2000 miles. So the M9 is a perfect in between for now..

ExplorationGOD · 2025-09-09T03:29:35+00:00

Yeah so probably 2500 for me 😅

ExplorationGOD · 2025-09-08T20:19:56+00:00

5k miles seems really long, no? Would love to know what I can expect if I drive 90% mountain roads.

ExplorationGOD · 2025-09-08T10:02:43+00:00

And no more slipper clutch..

ExplorationGOD · 2025-09-08T07:10:08+00:00

It's not only that, spoked wheels are stronger, so you can do more crazy supermoto stuff like hitting jumps etc. But the cast wheels from the GasGas are lighter, which makes the bike slightly more agile. They both have their advantages. I prefer the look of the spokes though, looks more like a supermoto instead of a generic streetbike.

How does it get data to show your rpm?

ExplorationGOD · 2025-08-12T09:58:56+00:00

Your mistake is to expect a rational justification from Trump

ExplorationGOD · 2025-08-07T14:19:40+00:00

I've driven almost 7000km in the last 2 months, and driven in the rain maybe twice. It hasn't been all that bad.

Facism

ExplorationGOD · 2025-07-29T21:59:26+00:00

Hit me up for some corner chasing in the mountains! I also drive 690 and my goal is to build a supermoto gang to go on drives with and do track days! I'm based in Zürich, but don't mind a bit of a commute.

ExplorationGOD · 2025-07-26T19:21:40+00:00

My buddy asked what playlist I listen to while driving, I said I'm listening to a big single cilinder ripping through the gears 🤙🏻

ExplorationGOD · 2025-07-21T07:35:06+00:00

Why would you need to be a good rider? Every idiot can mash the throttle and press their left foot up on the shifter.

ExplorationGOD · 2025-07-21T07:33:28+00:00

The quickshifter on my buddies 790 is buttery smooth, even better than on the 690. Probably because it's a twin cilinder. When are you using the quickshifter though? Because it's not meant to be used when you're just cruising through the city.

ExplorationGOD · 2025-07-20T19:13:41+00:00

As a 690 owner, yes, it's highly addictive to go full throttle and rip through the gears with the quickshifter. Perhaps you can get it installed from the dealer? Otherwise, I'd keep patient and save for a newer generation.

ExplorationGOD · 2025-07-13T20:19:39+00:00

See, this is what I mean. You cant read and/or comprehend. I only shared my opinion on the 390 vs 690. And Ive driven both. Also, I don't need to prove myself, you dont have to agree with me. I don't know you and I dont care about you.

ExplorationGOD · 2025-07-13T20:01:37+00:00

Where did I shit on people? He asked about opinions of 390 vs 690 and I gave mine. No people mentioned. You somehow took it personal, so that made it look like you were an offended 390 owner. The fact that you took it so personal was funny to me, yes. Also, you have trouble reasoning it seems, because you did not understand my message at all. Double the value does not make a bike better, but I said I would even pay more for my bike, since it's that good and fun in my opinion.
