1300 Kilometer Motorcycle Ride across Borneo COMPLETE (I was SHOCKED by the finale) 🇲🇾 [SE E45]
The Tip to Tip Route of East Malaysia – an epic ride of 1300 kilometers (820 miles) from the eastern edge of the island of Borneo to its most northwestern point. And we were about to complete this incredible feat that few people ever have the opportunity to do, riding our KTM 250 Adventure two up from one end of the Tip to Tip Route to the other. And what awaited us at the end of this ride was one of the most shocking and impressive sights we’ve ever seen!
You’ll understand when you see it…

Sabah has started the Pan Borneo route, which is projected to be completed in 2026. This route will no longer go through Brunei and will cross the forest in the south of Sabah.
Two things! Tim, you know cats eat fish. And number 2: this might seem pedantic but in relation to islands….. Nah! I'll leave it. Crikey, you guys are so positive and passionate I can't be a downer from down under on your parade.
Wow! U r putting a smile on my face. The music make make the journey feels so epic😊 Amazing ! Great partnership manuering the adventure journey.
If you go to west malaysia, dont forget to visit tanjung Piai, the most southern tip of asia mainland
What an experience it must have been to drive to that end of the world. What a beautiful area and landscape.
I recently passed the JPJ test at Kota Marudu last Tuesday, but I chose to operate a manual car instead of a motorcycle…
Another fantastic ride video!
Who wold have guessed Borneo would be such a neat place to ride?
Your music really makes each video special. I realized that when I watch a video after reading part of your books. Books need background music!
Always looking forward to your next episode.
hebat sekali. terima kasih sudah menunjukkan tempat -tempat indah di malaysia.
❤❤
I think your inlaws are related to my inlaws 😂
Fabulous! Truly enjoyable… beautiful footage of the oceans.. stay safe! Until next time! Love you 2❤
Your adventures are great, also became documentary and advertisement for tourists around the world.
Well worth the wait guys, especially seeing Marisa's beaming smile at the 'tip' and on the journey to the next accomodation. I don't know what you're on Marisa but you seem to have maybe found a secret of eternal youth, girl you looked like a 12year old there beaming away. A great video thanks guys 🤗
Wow what a wonderful into song! I liked and subscribed just on that alone brilliant 👍🏽
Very beautiful adventure, but i never see you two do maintenance on bike from Kuching to Kudat that's a big mileages.
Do you know why you don't see a difference between the Sulu Sea and South China Sea? It is because when you travel the world and meet so many people, you will realise that we all have more in common than differences. The sea knows that.
If you are gonna ride in Peninsular Malaysia, I recommend these routes:-
1. Route 55 Kuala Kubu-Frasers Hill- Raub (jungle view)
2. Route 68 Gombak-Bentong ( jungle view)
3. Route 59 Tapah- Cameron Highlands ( jungle mountain view)
4. Route 4 Gerik-Jeli ( aka Elephant Highway)
If you like beach ride, there is 20km long sandy beach near Desaru, and near Kuantan
💙
Of all your videos i've seen this was the most delightful and beautiful and fun. You did a great job sharing this with us.And you guys were just a lot of fun. I prefer seeing nature over buildings and cities.And so today's was especially delightful for me because I'd never seen borneo and it's beautiful. Thank you and God bless you❤❤
Do you guys encounter any problems with the Ktm adv?
You know what's the meaning of Pontianak it's mean vampire!!!!😢
Its amazing guys I really love this place
Selamat datang ke Sabah Malaysia, it has been an interesting sharing. Not sure if that unpaved road is the usual route to the tip of borneo. Anyway that was an amaxing experiance. Don't miss the Mt Kinabalu, and more interesting places on the east coast of Sabah. Sandakan, Lahad Datu Semporna, Tawau and the interior Imbak
Kudat is extremely beautiful! Hidden gem in Malaysia. No one really know the beauty of the beaches there. Clear water and peaceful. Welcome to Kudat!
Kudat has great potential but nobody can develop the area due to lack of water and electricity.
Just dont go cross India. I am afraid
Lousy documentary or travel tour.just talk no action.
Be careful in borneo beaches. You might end up as a hostage in philippines jungle for 3 years.
That intro song was 👌
Great video as always. Thank you for sharing 😊.
Sadly the “kangkong” salad Tim ate is not a delicacy but a last resort meal for poor people, usually fed to the pigs (😉 messing with you Tim)
Calamares en su tinta is definitely a delicacy (adobo squid-Philippines )
Tim would have probably eaten that lizard at the end of your video 😏.
