Congratulations on the video. In the last twenty years, I have had three BMW GS and three Ducati Multistrada, but I got tired of the weight and the lack of maneuverability, so this video greatly influenced me in my decision to buy the CRF 1100L DCT. I'm 50 years old, 177 cm and 79 kg. I use the motorcycle almost daily to go to work and go for a walk. In November I took a 2400 km trip with my Africa twin and it was fantastic to have such an easy and fun bike. Here in Brazil there are very beautiful places in the mountains, beaches and parks. However, sometimes the roads suffer from poor maintenance and are almost off roads, which is delightful in an Africa Twin. Thank you very much.

One comment about the self-cancelling indicators: They cancel themselves after 150 meters - which is too soon for me. So you can switch off the self cancelling in the main configuration menu, which I did. Another comment about the heated grips: At least in Germany they are factory standard for the bigger AT Adventure Sports. You can get them as an option for the normal Africa Twin, which I did. The advantage of the original Honda heated grips over some aftermarket parts: the Honda grip integrate into the bike's electronic and can be controlled with the bike's controls. You do not need extra buttons installed at your handbar.

I got the DCT (not the Adventure Sport Model) and I do like it, alot. Commuting in the city it is practical and the shifting is smooth. I've owned it a couple of years already and haven't really taken it off road because I wanted to pay it off first before adding the crash bars. I should have them on in a couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, I miss shifting but I'm over 50 now so it's about the comfort for me

I'm very much looking forward to my Dave Thorpe off road adventure course at the end of this month. I'm gonna learn how to handle the DCT bike off road & them when I come home I'm going to have the confidence and ability to just get on mine & ride it. That's not to say I'm not touching mine till then, but I feel like I'm going to get so much benefit riding off road round Exmoor that I can apply to my horrifically potholed & gravelly drive & be able to get past all my neighbours' BMWs without crashing into them! After that I'm going to do an advanced motorist's course to get my road skills back before setting off round Ireland in the summer. It's an amazing bike, and I'm gonna have a blast.

Good video as usual Vanessa🙂 I have had my Africa Twin AS for just over a year now, brand new in 2023. I have put 26000km on it and it is the best bike I have ever had in my 40 years of riding. I have zero interest in ever having a DCT though, I spent 20 years on the road with my truck and most of it was with an 18 speed transmission so shifting a 6 speed is child's play and I want all the control. If I get so lazy that I don't want to shift a silky smooth 6 speed it is time I quit riding. The self cancelling turn signals are useless on it though so shut that feature off very soon after I got it. The seat I found to be the most uncomfortable damn thing ever put on a motorcycle if its a bike you spend hours sitting on, I cured that issue over the winter and redone the foam on the front and rear to flatten out the seating platform and recovered them both. The wind protection on this bike is far better than my Heritage Softail and more comfortable to ride in general really. I took a holiday last summer and rode up past the arctic circle, heavily loaded and the bike was flawless in the way it performed for the just over 8000km (5000 miles) of the trip.

After 35k km I can say the DCT is the best on this bike. Compare to the other bigger ADVs(BMW,KTM,Ducati,Triumph) I've tried them, this gives the biggest place for you and your passenger, and the smoothest gear changes. So some way is the best, it just need around +30bhp. :). ...and can stall :)

For what it's worth, I have the Aprilia Mana 850 and it's an automatic cvt transmission. I don't miss the gears much at all. I wonder if the DCT has manual override like my bike does. It's nice to slap the gear lever to downshift for engine braking (though thats also automatic too) so there's no true 'coasting' with this set up. Once you roll off, it starts to downshift. I wonder if the DCT is any different.

You are 169cm or 5'6" and you say you can get your feet comfortably on ground? I am 5'7" and looking at many adventure bikes. I sat on a 2019 African Twin Adv and it was too high with stock seat and supension. Anything over 31.5" starts to not be comfortable. the 2022 African Twin seat height Standard position 34.3 inches/Low position 33.5 inches. A lower seat cuts 1.18" which gets you to 32.3". I would need to cut the seat down orlower suspension or get custom lower seat (and may be very uncomfortable).. Sure I could ride it at 33.5 inches, but not desirable for me.

After watching your video earlier in the day, I had to see it again after thinking about no clutch or shifting, and those mode settings. So, no clutch or shifting but I never heard you use the words automatic transmission? Also, those modes I am sure come preprogrammed but then you said you can customize them too and basically, they are settings that affect traction control and braking... It's fascinating to see how these bikes are developing. Did the automatic transmission take away from that experience of becoming one with the machine? I wonder this about electric bikjes to...the soulless machine.
@TheGirlOnABike
@TheGirlOnABike Жыл бұрын
Yeah I totally hear you there. It’s a very new world of motorcycle riding. I’d say initially my expectations were that it would take away from the experience. But actually just frees your capacity to focus on different areas. On the electric bike, I definitely agree that you then become super sensitive with the throttle control, but you do then have the capacity to really feel and think about your traction and absorb the surroundings, hear the road going past et cetera. I can totally understand why someone would have a DCT, but I personally don’t think I’d have one. Unless I was commuting in the city. With the paddle gear shift you can manual it though. Very cool where the technology is going

I need a bike for city and highway commutes here in Texas. I don't foresee myself going on rough terrains, so I was thinking of buying the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT. But, after examining the Africa Twin on KZfaq, I have now decided to buy the Twin. I think the Twin is a safer ride in heavy rain, and it has more pleasant aesthetics than the Rebel. I think the Twin will do fine for city rides at 30 mph as well as 85 mph on the highway. Please let me know if you think I am wrong and that I should get the Rebel 1100 instead.

Too many people drop the Africa Twin (and other bikes) because they aren't tall enough, or strong enough, or tall AND strong enough. I'm 6'3", 230lbs and much stronger than average...so I never have any issue with drops. FAR too many people are overbiked. A 525lb, tall'ish adventure bike is not proper for someone 5'10" and under, IMHO.

I disagree with you on that one. I'm 5'9" , 160lbs and I have a 23 Africa Twin AS and do just fine with it, I do have long legs though. A friend of mine has the 2022 AT1100 standard and she's only about 5'6" and she does well. She's an experienced rider and rode motocross.

As much as I adore the Africa twin (still unsure between this and a couple more) it’s nothing compared to the views!!! What a backdrop/location!!!

Honda seems to think riders are too stupid to choose their own gears. They tried automatic trans many years ago & failed.

I'm 169cm and 69cm inside leg. The Africa Twin is an amazingly manageable height with the low seat position
