Episode 021: Riding Around the World on a KTM 500 - a podcast by Jon Beaver: Off-Road, Dual Sport and Motorcycle Adventurer

Riding Around the World on a KTM 500

Aaron Steinmann is an adventure motorcycle rider who is riding around the world on a KTM 500. We caught up with Aaron to learn about where he’s been and what he has learned from his travels.



The Ultimate Motorcycle Adventure

From the outside, riding around the world seems like such an overwhelming adventure.  Logistics, language barriers, lonely  days on the road; Aaron has seen it all.  However, I get the sense that he combats a lot of these obstacles by traveling at a comfortable pace and tackling the journey, day-by-day.

The Ultimate Motorcycle

Unbelievably, Aaron has amassed over 60,000 miles on his KTM 500 while riding around the world!  To put that into  perspective. his KTM 500 has traveled the circumference of the Earth, roughly 2.5 times.  For most of us, it is hard to imagine a motorcycle being reliable and durable enough to cover this many miles.  Undoubtedly, this is an amazing testament to man, machine, and of course, routine maintenance.
