Your movies are simply amazing! It's such a pleasure to watch them equally because of the topic and how it's made (shots, images, editing and music)! I'm a huge fan!
It is named Africa Twin, because it is like two bikes made into one heavy tank.
cracking for sure, especially when you need to pick them up!
20:28 Dog pissed on the inside of Dave’s jacket 😂 🐕🔫
It's a Honda. I've been looking at the AT lately. I HAD A BMW 1200 and loved it but wanted something less expensive and easy to maintain.
Dct sucks🎉
Africa Twin 2024: se c'è qualcuno che la possegga potrebbe dirmi i consumi reali nelle varie condizioni o per lo meno quelli medi? Grazie. / Africa Twin 2024: if there is someone who owns it could tell me the real consumption in various conditions or at least the average ones? Thanks.
Is the L1 model good fir road or is it strictly an off-road bike?
I traded in my 2024 CBR 650R for a manual AT with electronic suspension and so far I am loving it ❤
Great video fellas.
Hows the tubeless rims holding up? I have a 2023 ATAS and at 13,800kms, front rim spokes start losening up by buldging to the outside
I'm very impressed with you this content ❤ keep doing work like no other can do …👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So not the DCT model then…
2:18 road trains woah
Nice place to take the Honda. Good video Dave
I owned a 2020 AT for 2yrs. The power was fun, but the weight is not worth the power for where I ride off road. I found the suspension wasn't up to the task often. I have sold it and picked up a 300cc 2 stroke to meet my off road needs. Ultimately, I found the AT did neither on or off road riding particularly well.
Maybe controversial opinion, but Hondas have never really appealed to me. I have found them a bit boring styling wise as well a all the features as ABS etc etc. (I know all have them now, but for some (probably stupid) reason I want to ride without them.) But the Africa Twin in White really tickles my fancy. I actually want one! I have always been a Yamaha or Husky fan, I've had a few Sukies, but I never really got in touch with them. Now my top two bikes has changed from 701 and Tenere to Africa Twin and the new 800 DE.. Go figure! But it only goes to prove that either people can change, or some companies has. Cheers! 🙂
Great video, very entertaining. But let us be honest here. Most of the track can be ridden on an Yamaha R6 😀
Love the Africa Twins. Would have been interesting to include the top line DCT model with 19" wheel as a direct comparison during the trip with these conditions. I reckon it would have done just fine.
I love it! Greetings from Germany! 😎
What tyres were you running during the trip?
Great video. Any noticeable snatchness of throttle at low revs?
Hi i am in Slovenia hospital i had a head on in Croatia on a Transalp it was to be the second 2 weeks the 1st 2 weeks on a Africa Twin
Dave, I know you like the 901 bike, but would you compare the twin to the 901 for off-roading?
Great video, loved every second of it. Well done. 💪🏆
33 mins
2024 tubless tires on standard. L1 and L3.
You didn't mention that.
What an absolutely awesome trip.
I own a 2022 AT, and the 2024 upgrades are exactly what it needed (and what i wished were available before). Especially the adjustable screen, and option for electronic suspension. Hope that the screen is somehow retrofitable to the previous models.
And yeah, quick shifter is a no-brainer when getting the bike! Its a blast.
How is the engine heat on the Africa Twin? I live in the desert, and my current bike BOILS my calfs.
Glad to see the new transalp on the channel- I'm very excited to see how it stacks up against the T7 in the next year. Here in the US we can only get the transalp in Black- which drives me nuts. If we can get it in the classic paint like here I would have bought one already.
Θελω να δω live στη σκηνη εσενα και Shokin κι ας πεθανω!
Hello madtv, at minute 14:30 there is a really cool song on youre video. Can you give me the name of the singer/song?
Btw, like youre channel!!
they seem pretty reliable with 11 odd bikes upto 30 thousand k's
Thanks. I'll take a cfmoto instead 😅
That guy busting the sump is why im not getting one. That sump hanging down like that is seriously a big flaw on this bike.
Very good video, thank you.
15:10 what song is this?
guys do you have there any turns, windy roads? uphill or downhill? LOL come here to Romania for some really demanding trails 🙂
40 minutes? 20 mins? 7 minutes Marty T?? To replace the air filter? I've only done mine once (at 13k kms, now at 15k) and I took my time, fiddled about with the new bike and so on, but it ended up taking me HOURS! I worked on bikes for many years, and wasn't working at a pro pace at all, but it was mammoth, removing/refitting everything the 'standard' way. Mind you, with over 2,500 kms on dirt (mostly with no-one ahead) the stock paper filter wasn't all that dirty, I must say.
But I counted ten panels, and although I didn't count them exactly, there would have been roughly 50 fasteners (maybe more, including all the little push-pins)! 9 just to open the airbox, and I think 6 more to remove the element. My 750 Elefant's filter is under the tank, which has to come off to access it, and also involves a lot of fairing removal (if you don't want to compromise the tank's paint) but when you get there, the box opens with a couple of rubber bands, after which the element just pulls away. The Transalp's is much madder. Like Fort Knox once you finally get there! Crazy. My 1098S Ducati doesn't take that long, even though it requires removal of most of the bodywork from the front of the bike, with the 'snorkels' running up under the headlight, and obscuring the filter at their rear end. And at 104k kms on that, the K & N has been cleaned many times…
So thank you Marty for the tip. Next time I will look critically at that idea with the cover around the front of the tank, as the extent of work required to access the Honda's air filter is bonkers, for a bike which is meant to go off the bitumen. And when you have half the bike spread around you, and are finally ready to pivot the tank up? Yes, two more hidden 'mystery' screws still retaining it. It's like 'Where's Wally?' under there. But – it is a great bike, and better than I felt after the initial test ride, which felt a little 'meh'. It has really 'grown on me' over the last nine months.
One handy tip I found was reversing the handlebar risers, which improves the steering feel by moving the 'bars forward about 20mm, and takes away the 'tiller' feel of the stock alignment. I like it better for standing up too, at just off 5' 10", with the 'bars also rotated forward a little, although now at 71 I sit down mostly. 😁
id love know how Darryl can afford that big truck and all those bikes lol
Dave how would you rate the “24”Triumph tiger 900 to the Honda’s ?
Hopefully Honda revives the Dominator as well besides the Transalp. I love the old NX ❤
How would your carry enough fuel on the Canning Stock route?
Hi Dave. Long time viewer but first time comment. Watched all your videos. Would you buy the Tenere or the base model Africa twin? Both are about the 20k mark right now. Im looking to buy one but cant decide and dont have the experience on both like you do. Cheers daniel
Good stuff. Enjoyed that.
Dave, what time of the year did you guys do this ride?
Cool 🙂 i get the same red one in august. Without es and dct
