The folks over at /DRIVE, and their RideApart team, have put together a video of some Colorado back-country winter riding on board a KTM 990 Adventure. It looked like it was a bit of a handful in the snow without studded tires.
Good video though and some amazing scenery.
What is it like to take the bus from Kathmandu to Dolakha through the mountains of Nepal? This video gives an idea. The uploader wrote that the 90-mile bus ride took 16 hours.
No winch to get up the hills? 40 people and a rope should do the trick.
This beautifully shot video takes you off-road through the desert near Dubai on a KTM 525. A Honda XR650R rides alongside. Well done, guys!
The 2011 AMA District 37 Barstow to Vegas Dual-Sport event took place at the end of last month. This is a nicely documented and narrated recap of the 2009 event.
The two-part video is about an hour long and is a little slow to get going but there’s some great footage of guys on BMW R1200GS and F800GS bikes working their way through sandy, rocky canyons, dry river sand washes, and some fantastic flat-out desert riding, including the use of a roll chart for navigation.
Part 2, around 14:45 even shows a guy jumping his big GS over berm.
Here’s Part 2: http://youtu.be/qvgqL0-b83U.
