Thanks for this! Nice to hear a DCT review from someone who rides like I do, i.e. not SUPER AGGRESSIVE ENDURO. Regarding cold weather riding, I've really been a wuss this winter so far, but I did go for a New Year's Day ride up to that viewpoint west of Crown Point. I wore the right gear and I felt fine, but when I got home I ate three bowls of hot soup and slept for three hours. 😁 Best of luck in everything!

That was a great video. You answered so many questions just by being honest and calling it the way you see it. I am an old man new rider. The height of the bike was intimidating to me. As you pointed out, a lot of advantages to a tall bike, ground clearance, riding comfort . I think I can. Wes

Thanks for a good review. I’m also Honda fan, even working for them in the 90s. In 2018 I went shopping for at AT and came home with a BMW R1200GS because back then the AT didn’t have cruise, something my arthritic right hand needs on long trips. Maybe next time. Thanks again.

Love the review. The one thing that I really really could relate to. I had a bunch of bikes in the past 8 years when I got back into riding. Started with. Honda 250 L then a Husky 449 to adventure bikes with an KLR. I then upgraded to a 2015 BMW 800 GS. That was a great bike. From there I went to my 2017 AT. The biggest difference from the BMW to the AT was after 300 plus miles I was not as tired riding the AT as I was on the GS. They felt the same on the dirt but on the highway the AT was soooo much better

Amazing and calmed down honest review!!, and when it comes to all the tech stuff I would think you nailed it to the point everyone could follow. It was really cool to see that comparison between the different models, I got some new info there displayed very nice. Thx. I have the excact same bike as you just some different patterens in the stickers since mine is a 2020 ATAS ES DCT. Also your take on DCT was perfect and great for people who fear giving it a chance. I personally think Honda should let you keep this bike, the gain they have in having such a charismatic person like you giving this cool review, is worth a few ATAS's I would say. Rock on. Thanks for this review, I'm right about you with 11.000 miles since I got as new in August 2021. But thats 1.5 years ago not 4 months!!! damn. :) Dan, from Copenhagen, Denmark.

As an official old guy, I can no longer just kick a leg over the bike when mounting/dismounting. Big Rock Moto has pointed this out in a video, I put my left foot on the left peg (kick stand down) and then up and over. I've been told by others that they would never trust the stand, but what am I to do? Give up riding? Adding a top box will require a more thoughtful mount :)

@jaytownjunkyardfiles1999 Жыл бұрын

Been doing that kind of mount/dismount for two years now on a DR650 with no mechanical problems. I just give it attention with grease periodically.

@dalemoffitt165 Жыл бұрын

Otto, a friend of mine has the same issue as you so he needs to use the foot peg to mount. He is also concerned with the added pressure on the kick stand, so he always mounts from the RIGHT side which removes most of the added weight from the stand. Been doing it for years. I've tried it and it feels weird, but you do what you need to do.

@stevendewolfe4592 Жыл бұрын

I also use the foot peg to mount and try to put my weight over the bike while doing it to minimize the force on the stand. Also, the position of the front wheel adjusts the bike’s stance before mounting.

@MyADV360 Жыл бұрын

As a short rider in the 50+ category and an inseam of less than 30 inches I stand on the footpeg to mount the Africa Twin, even loaded I trust the kickstand enough to do a kickstand pivot/turn.

@Loiczzr Жыл бұрын

I pivot turn my bike on the kick stand (kawasaki versys 650 and suzuki drz400s) with no issues. So unless your bike is known for a very weak stand/bracket then your weight won't be enough to break it.

@billmcmeekin7909 Жыл бұрын

21000km on my 2020ATASes DCT and love it! Love it! Never expected to enjoy an 1100cc scooter so much. Dirt biker for life, manual muscle car owner, mountain sledded for decades, and truly enjoy this bike so much. Three of us have DCT Africa twins. Two are Baja racers! We multi-week tour sometimes with Pillions. Awesome bike for most everything but very tight single track. Only issue I had was tank magnesium weld flake, that I resolved with Guglatech Mazinga filter kit, to maintain fuel pump reliability. Cheers Magpie, from Canada 🇨🇦 :⁠-⁠)

I've known about the Africa Twin, I've heard things about the Africa Twin for years, but as a owner of an XL600R, XR650L and an XR650R I've always viewed the Twin as a not really my kind of thing kind of a bike; too big. After watching this video I'm extremely impressed with the Twin, enough so to where I'm going to look into DCT because I am getting older and it's all about do what you can while you still can. Thanks for the 10,000 mile experience deep dive review it speaks massive volumes about the twin given the fact you road that far on a 2022 seven months ago. That is impressive.

I think this is the best, most complete and concise bike test video I've ever seen of any bike, ever, on a very complex bike at that! Don't worry about brake pads, they're cheaper and easier to change than clutch plates, and it's all just friction material. It looks like you modified the parking brake lever for use while riding, as did I. I'm jealous of both your high kicks and your apparent ability to empty a six gallon tank before emptying your bladder.

Great review Amanda! Your impressions are pretty much the same as mine even though mine is a couple years older. I wouldn't have chosen a DCT but I found a great deal on one in the used market and after just a few days riding, was totally comfortable. After a month, I've of the mind it's brilliant. Like you, I put it in S2 and it matches how I'd ride most of the time. The shifter paddles are used when I want a shift at a slight different time than DCT thinks is appropriate. Long distance, again spot on. Seat is kinda hard but I just stand more, even on asphalt. I'm a Seat Concepts fan boy for my dirt bikes, have them on all of them. Tried one on my V-Strom and was disappointed so I'm unlikely to try one on the AT. I hear the newer 1100 are much better than my 1000 but I don't think the difference is worth changing bikes for me. The extra fuel would be nice on long trips but I just stick a RotoPak on and that gives me the security I need to push the stock fuel tank a bit farther. Thanks for continuing the great content and hope your dreams of owning an AT come true at some point.... I'm already registered for RMR next year so I'll see you then!

Great video. I bought the Cb500x because of you do start my adventures. You had so much fun on that little bike, so I decided to get one. After owning one for a bit now, my wife wants to start adventure riding with me so I believe I will give her my CB and buy the bike you now Love. 😊 the (AfricaTwin) 😁 thank you so much for all you do. I hope to one day see you out there when I have my AfricaTwin and you have the AfricaTwin that “Honda gives you”😉 Best of luck with that. If they Give you that bike, I can’t wait to watch all the adventures you will experience on her. 😊
