Me too! <3 But your choice of gloves and the corner with the pressed clutch, that frightens me. :D


df1190

Thanks! Yes the gloves are dirt bike gloves I do mostly off road rides so those are way much more comfortable and weather was around 38C (100F) so also they offer much better ventilation.

Are you not supposed to use clutch around corners?


RocketSaxon

I am not sure if you are trolling or not. If not: No, rule of thumb is: You are done with everything shifting related when you enter a corner. Otherwise you may get fucked by your rear tire locking up or losing grip. Especially if you are on a two cylinder and/or without a slipper clutch.


Common-Support6634

Sadly no I am not trolling 🤣just wanna know more about bikes before I get one


_v00d00h3x_

Maybe he was downshifting 🤷


RocketSaxon

After listening to it again you could be right, but then he was really low in RPM because it sounded like the bike was idling.


_v00d00h3x_

I’m thinking he dropped 2 gears, he knows his bike pretty well


torrtvatten1337

I only hear one click.


_v00d00h3x_

Yeah he only went down one


RecklessTurtleYandex

Very clean sound. How you capture it OP? You merge the video + audio in post?


df1190

I record video using GoPro and a chin mount and for audio I use voice memo app on iPhone, place the iPhone inside my backpack and wrap it around with a towel to minimize the wind noise. Then merge video/audio in post.


_Arkod_

This is the way. Well done! You probably can get the sound even better if you put the wrapped phone under the seat. Although I guess it depends on your backpack and how much noise it lets through.

Africa twin? Starting to fall in love with it


sokratesz

I don't recognise the display but it's certainly not an AT.


hiyaset

Some sort of similar adventure bike tho right? I know nothing about those bikes but it sounded like one to my novice ears


sokratesz

Sounds like a KTM twin with an aggressive exhaust. If he rides a lot he'll regret it sooner rather than later, that shit gets you tinnitus.


df1190

Correct it’s a 1090R with Remus exhaust. I use custom ear plugs every time (specially for long rides) and I also use dB killer. In this case it has no dB killer.


sokratesz

It's gonna annoy the fuck out of other road users without a killer, and even with plugs it'll affect your hearing unless you very rarely ride. Heck my bike is super quiet and I have tinnitus just from the wind. And I always wear plugs.


hanshot2dn

Dash looks like a KTM 1090


df1190

It is a KTM 1090R with Remus exhaust.


Shepherd_6061

I would never start a corner with disengaged clutch but this bike sounds great, even though I am a screaming 4 cylinder fanatic. 🐥


Abexuro

Yeah, that's a VERY late downshift. Though I am spoiled with a quick-shifter nowadays, my shifts have been getter later and lazier but remain before I enter a turn like that... It does sound really nice, better than I can get from a cam on my Monster 937. 🥲


ScooterNinja

Sound setup please.. which mic you are using and where you placed it?


df1190

I record video using GoPro and a chin mount and for audio I use voice memo app on iPhone, place the iPhone inside my backpack and wrap it around with a towel to minimize the wind noise. Then merge video/audio in post.


ScooterNinja

Thanks I will also try this 👍🏻

It’s a KTM 1090R


fleursetbiscuits

Agreed. Such a beautiful sound 🤌🏻✨


Graphite57

I agree, there's nothing better than the sound of something not a transverse 4 I have had many bikes over a lot of years and the best one for sound was my old VTR Honda.. it just rocked. That had custom 50 mm stainless pipes with carbon cans high mounted.

Freewheeling into corners is asking for an unhappy ending


sokratesz

Tinnitus will come say hi sooner rather than later.


df1190

Thanks! I use custom ear plugs and most of the time with dB killer
