To read Zack's in-depth article about the all-new Honda Africa Twin 1100, head on over to RevZilla's Common Tread online magazine: rvz.la/3hn2hkT

I cant believe how much I missed Zach and Ari reviewing motorcycles, no one does it better than them.

I see an mc commute video of a bike I will never buy, I click.

Africa Twin owner: "I like traction control on level 3, wheelie control on level 1, coffee control on 190* and the AC set on 72*" KLR owner: "I found a milk crate in the ditch!"

Africa Twin is just a handsome lookin bike 😍

Ever since Zack started this Daily Rider series with trying to balance the bike at stop signs without a foot on the ground, I've been trying to do the same. Thanks, Zack....

Well apparently the 8th and 9th gen Civic engineers never left Honda...the twin dash is back baby!!! 😂

adjustable everything... She's top heavy and not built for anyone below avg hgt. Most off road action you can just put 2 gallons in her and she will run over 100 miles and be 25 lbs lighter up top. The base model is the same. 5g tank, leave 3 g out and run the bike at 480lbs. Dirtbikes don't typically have over 2g anyway. If you are riding on the road, gas her up and see if you can go 300 miles...

I’ve had my AT since 2018 and I am still in love with it. Best bike I ever had.

I'm glad you got another gig, your very talented in what you do, big fan from days way back, thanks

Love Zack and Ari. I glad to see they're now where I can watch.

Cheers Zack once again. Having a 2 up test ride of one of these beauties on Saturday with a strong view to buying. Got a decent offer from my local dealer for the electronic suspension manual with quick shift, full outback luggage and centre stand so more than tempted. 🤞🤞

Excellent review... So happy you are back doing this kind of stuff.

Zack you're a fantastic journalist and presenter. Thanks for these insightful and enjoyable videos.

Great comprehensive review! Thanks! Good to see you again!

this is such a good show. Ima watch every episode. Love how you put practicality at the top of the list.

At last, a good Africa Twin video on a standard transmission!! Very well done sir! Your right on on all you talked about! Thank you!

answering the viewers questions is a great feature -thanks 🙂

I sure wish my 2017 had cruise control-They're awesome bikes for sure. Recognized my old stomping grounds immediately.

Great review so fun and informative. Best MC show on the tube these days! Hope for many more. Maybe some 'used' 5-10 year old bikes but I get it probably not much sponsorship for that.

as always, you give great reviews. Thank You!

530lbs isn't too bad. But combined with the long travel suspension I can see it being awkward for some at stop signs and intersections. I have a CB1100 which is closer to 550lbs but lower to the ground. Really not heavy in most cases. 6.5 gallons sounds great for commuting or long rides. Thanks for the awesome video as always

Wss stoked to stumble on this video and see Zack. Back it in!

Zack - love your laugh and how you really tell it like it is. I have a Versys 650 which I love... but have been tempted by the Africa Twin. Really appreciated your excellent review!

Zack is the best moto reviewer on KZfaq. Keep up the good work zack

You guys are amazing, your content has occupied many hours of my life. Great video, only now do I realise the effort of making these videos after starting to do my own channel. Well done. Enjoy, stay safe!

Very clear, sufficiently objective, and very fluent review with no discernable repetitions. You are very good at this sir.

Always watching these videos of big bikes while looking to my small GS. She gets MAD!

Thanks Zac. I appreciate and love your "Daily Rider" format. I also am the proud owner of a 650 Kawasaki Versys LT. Love it and it fits me well.

What an excellent review - articulate, knowledgeable and highly informative. You da man Zach. (oh, and you can ride too!!)

Great to see you back in action Zack !! nice one .

I've been waiting for this. I'm heading over to the dealer today to take a look. Thanks for the great review!

The best camera-forward motojournalist in the business! More vintage daily riders, plz :D

Great review zack! Looking forward to the next one- the tenere 700!

Watching this in Jan 23’. Hoping to get myself an AT very soon. I have longed for one for awhile. This video has double sold me. The best review ever!

Always quality stuff coming from Zack, best reviews, cheers man, even watching the bike reviews I'm not really interested in lol

What!? Zack and Revzilla? Oh yeah!!!! Missed your commutes!

Zackeroo nice informative video you seemed to have the measure of the complicated controls on the bike where others have failed so well done you keep it going, your opinions are valued.

Always love the ride dude. Looking at add one to the stable next year, I can't wait to hit the road and explore.

Had 3 ATAS models in the last 5 years, a 1000 and 2 x 1100s and love them. As far as slow speed jerkiness is concerned it does take a few hundred miles to get used to it with the light clutch and the fly-by-wire throttle but once you know how to use the controls it's fine.

Good review Zack. I like the way you discuss the controls and display while riding, just the way an owner would need to deal with the complexity of the controls, while in situation. The discussion and comparison between competitors is valid and accurate. Honda has built a good upgrade to their original new AT bike. I also like the way Honda packaged the bike. Pick the AS version and you get all the pieces, verses getting pinged for multiple packages and individual options that stack prices up and up. I missed the heated seat and grips discussion. Does it come with those two features or not?

Excellent review as always! Zach you need one of these for your personal garage.

I just subscribed and hit the bell when I saw this video come up with Zac's face, haven't even watched it yet but its going to be awesome. Hope he can back it in and... does it wheely????

Can't wait for you guys to review and make a video on the Rebel 1100

I am so glad that Arri and Zack are back. 🤩🤩🤩

Ah, found you again Zack. Marvellous. Great vid. Thanks. Have an AT. 6,000 miles in, it’s fabulous. Great bike for commuting and fun. Buy one!

Love the closing clip. 99% of people would freak out scared of dying, I react the same way as Zack did. WTF?!... and just move on living your life :) Awesome review all in all, as usual!

Hi great review again. I would want to know which one would you suggest as a overall better buy - between the Manual or DCT version of this bike, would be of great help, thanks in advance 🙏

Hey Zack, great review , can you share which tires were loaded onto the Africa Twin?

Great review as always

Really liked your review. Thank you.

For a minute there, I thought this WASN'T revzilla. I'm so used to seeing your face on another channel.

love the bike ,traded in to get one last week after a demo. nicely done article thanks. love the 300mile tank range.

I love my 2017. Giant Loop Great Basin is a great backrest when loaded correctly. Great review.

Great review Zack! Glad to see you doing this again. Honda reliability is undisputed, but too heavy and a bit pricey for my use. Thanks. Ride safe.

I have a Himalayan and I absolutely love it. Cheap, cheap to run, but not cheaply built. I just did a 2000 km trip on it, as a matter of fact. But seeing videos like this one definitely gives me Africa Twin envy. I've never been attracted to the KTM or BMW lines, but the Africa Twin has been my crush for decades.

Great review. I was wondering if you have heard anything about fuel issues with flaking in the tank.

Awesome bike, havent ridden the adventure sport yet, just the standard which was an outstanding ride

I just started riding last year and live in a small town. Im 6'1" 175lbs. Ive only ever ridden my 2000 Vulcan 500 and seen a couple of Harleys and Goldwings. I finally got to see an adv bike in person yesterday and holy hell are they big. This Africa Twin is GIGANTIC. I understood the size of a Goldwing (Its like a van on two wheels). I did NOT understand from youtube videos that an African Twin or a Tenere 1200 or Versys 1000 would be just as big if only in a different way. They may not weigh as much but they are HUGE in person. I plan on getting the Honda nc750x or vstrom650 but even the V-strom 650 in person seemed big. But not much bigger than the nc750x so idk. In summary, I'm just saying that these bikes are huge and are super intimidating

I DID learn something and I DID have fun. Thanks!

Hey buddy great review as usual, but whats up with the fencing pose at the beginning of the video

Great video and information. Would love to take one of these off road!!

Thank you for riding through south bay. Hometown. I've put 5k miles on my ATAS DCT ES. Love it.

Finally! Zack and Ari's back!

Love your videos, get to see Long Beach to palos verdes, old stomping grounds when I lived in Long Beach. I’m now in Costa Rica.

Man you got me at that exhaust note 👍

Been researching it for months now. I really like this motorcycle for both off road and street, it looks really sharp along with that Honda quality. The only problem being 5'7" that seat height even at 32.whatever" with being top heavy I can't get used to so I am looking at the Honda CB500X and saving for it. Very popular model for us vertically challenged riders.

Please do a daily ride review on the 2020 KTM 1290 Super adventure R. Love your videos brother.

It is because of this review that I bought my Africa Twin. Zacks opinion is worth far more to me than any other journalist's.

Please please pleeeeeease find a Tenere 700 to ride! Awesome content as always, Zack.

Good stuff man as always

Are the Rev'it Sand 3 gloves the official gloves for these kind of reviews? Zack's been wearing them for Daily Rider, Adam Waheed has been wearing the same ones for MC Commute. I noticed, because I have the same pair.

Any chance of long term reviews on these bikes? 3 years on and I’m seeing these pop up in the local area for about $10K with pretty minimal mileage (under 15K) but am curious about longevity and how this bike would be for a someone like myself looking for their first adventure bike. Love your videos as always!

Hey Zach - what brand/model jacket and gloves are you wearing in this vid? Enjoy your reviews!

This is how EVERY bike review should be done excellent!!

Sweet bike, thanks for the review!

Fantastic review. Thanks

NICE TO SEE YOUR VIDEO ,I THINK BY FAR YOU ARE THE BEST . LIVE YOU STYLE BRO. PLS TRY TO WHEELIE MORE . I LOVE WHEN YOU DO IT

Is there a daily ride with the Tenere 700 coming any time soon?

I enjoy your reviews and adventures with that other hipster guy quite a bit. Also, great job on the Versys film lately.

Zack keep it a going you are awesome

I would like to see you get a Triumph Tiger 900 to rate against the Africa Twin. I think it would take the #2 spot on that board, probably not by much but it would still be a good comparison for the general public.

I picked up the 2022 version of this bike as my very 1st motorcycle. I gotta say I couldn't be happier with this bike both on and off road. It is a big bike and I'm not a very big person at 5'6" and 175lbs. That being said once you get this tall heavy bike moving it handles really well.

excellent review!

Another superb review. would love to see Honda CB500X on this channel. We definitely need any bike to dethrone the Versys ;-)

I love the way it looks!

I may have missed it, does it have a shaft drive or chain drive? Thanks for the review!👍

Great review! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Ducati Multistrada 950S.

Nice Review, is this engine better then the one on Yamaha ST 1200 XT ? would like to know your opinion thk. Y

What is your motoblog setup? What helmet are you using? What camera/how is it mounted? microphone? Sorry that is specific to the Africa Twin

Love these RZ Commute.

Good to see Zack back on two wheels. Wish he would team up with Ari for another adventure...

Ok. So all it needs is a center kickstand and this Africa Twin is the perfect adventure motorcycle! Awesome!

As a 2019 Vstrom XT rider I kind of miss just sitting on the bike and have fun without thinking about rider modes and every single thing to adjust. But that is the way motorcycle brands are going. Nice as always Zack.

I wish I was as chill as Zack when the guy cuts him off at the end.

Missed this guy

Expensive but is ready to go. No expensive add ons on a depreciating vehicle. Nice job Honda!

Where's the versys pin?! Great vids my dude you guys rock!

I have a standard CRF 1000 mechanical gearbox, model year 2018, i.e. second version with ride by wire and 4 riding modes. I rode it 11 000 km, the majority on tours with my spouse. We appreciate its flexibility and its altogether smooth but not boring manners, but there is a couple of technical points I would like to know about the 2020 model. The load capacity of the CRF1000L is 213kg, including everything (accessories, luggage, passengers). It is relatively modest for traveling with pillion. Because the standard and DCT have the same chassis and the DCT is heavier, its load capacity is even down to 195kg. For comparison, a smaller 650 Vstrom legally endures 230kg of cargo. If it was not for duo riding capacity, I would have preferred a lighter and less expensive bike than the CRF 1000. What about the cargo capacity of the new models ? My second question : when coming to a stop, the CRF1000 tends to fall at the exact moment you come to the complete stop. The bike is very stable at 15km/h, but if you forget to use the rear brake, the release of the diving of the mellow fork when you reach zero speed may surprise you, especially with a fully loaded bike (you will not notice that when riding solo with almost no cargo). I also find that achieving very tight hairpins turns on narrow mountain roads is more difficult than on a street bike, especially on steep ascents and with the passenger. OK, I know you have to lean the bike and counterbalance, but with pillion and the mass transfer in ascent, it needs practice to succeed. As a whole, the height of this bike makes is not super accessible for the passenger. Would these points be noticeably better with the electronic suspension and/or the DCT ?

i've test ridden the adv dct with electronic suspensions. It's 250kgs, but you can't really feel the weight. The seat height is pretty low at 82cm, the saddle is narrow. My 2017 is 85cm and feels much higher.
