Senior Editor Zack Courts is always arriving to office after his commute with a bunch of opinions about the bike he’s riding. Too much this, not enough that, and occasionally has some decent insights. We thought some of it might help consumers or entertain enthusiasts, so we strapped a camera and microphone to the side of his helmet and told him to turn it on when he leaves his house. A lot of him talking in his helmet is complaining about drivers, yelling at red lights, and wondering why billboards aren’t more expensive. But sometimes he actually talks about the bike, and those are the parts we keep. Got a bike you would like to see discussed? Let us know and we’ll send him home on that one next.

It's no secret we're always trying to get our staff to work a little harder. Especially the ones that always seem to have too much to say. "Write it down!" the boss yells, exasperated. Senior Editor Zack Courts is a classic case, always arriving to office after his commute with a bunch of opinions about the bike he's riding. Too much this, not enough that, and occasionally has some decent insights that we thought might help consumers or entertain enthusiasts.

The stock exhaust weighs 45lb's! throw on an aftermarket exhaust with a proper tune and you could pick up 8hp, and drop over 20 lb's.

On the power subject. more power -> more heat -> more wear -> more maintenence -> more money This is why big underpowered engines last so long in trucks and muscle cars. Honda has always made their high quality products atainable to their buyers by making them affordable.
@adam1986
@adam1986 7 лет назад
Exactly! And that's one of the many reasons i choose the AT over the KTM. When you take a very high quality high performance motor and put low compression pistons and a mild cam you end up with an africa twin motor. Still great performance but fairly mild and linear and it's extremely durable and trouble free and very easy long service intervals. Sure at times i wish for a bit more power but in the end I know this thing will serve me many many fun trouble free miles. All on 87 octane fuel, no need for premium with this motor which is a good thing should one find themselves in a remote location where none is available.

@benlastname7154
@benlastname7154 6 лет назад
I like that the Africa twin knows it's place and isn't competing for power like the other brands, who really needs or could handle 150 hp off-road? I think honda did it well by giving it just the power it needs and keeping it smaller and lighter so it can carve trails instead of just bulldozing a path through. Although him saying it wasn't that tall is an understatement, being 6'2 gives him a notably different view than the average 5'9 give or take an inch or two person.

THIS IS THE COMMUTE REVIEW I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO! YES I'M YELLING, BECAUSE I'M THAT EXCITED! thanks for the review, zack! i'm currently LUSTING over the AT in a bad way. like, punting my FJ09 and getting the AT lust. omg, it's so gorgeous! tell me more about riding it in the dirt. i'm a pretty hardcore ADV guy, tho i've never own and ADV bike. instead, i was the guy doing single track on sportbikes. thanks!

Hey Zack, you have now spent time on the F800 and the AT. Which is a better all around bike? Which would you buy and why? I would be 200-400 mile trips to camping areas. Forest service roads, mild offloading style of riding for me.

It looks like we are practically neighbors... blasting through those S turns on my way home from a long day at works never fails to put a big smile on my face. I saw a red one on the 55 today while riding my Dyna and thought "god damn I want one of those..." I think my motorcycle ADD will bankrupt me one day.
@adam1986
@adam1986 7 лет назад
senorcollin , ya I ride a Dyna as well and couldn't resist i had to have an AT. Now for the first time in my life when I open the garage I get to choose what bike I ride that day. Oh the horror. Thing is after having the AT for a couple months now I ride it probably 90% of the time. I want to keep my Harley but at this point I'm starting to wonder. The AT is just sooooooo good.
@Speedytrip
@Speedytrip 6 лет назад
Great review as always Zack. Would be nice sometimes to include a bit of info around cost of owning the bike. I have an RnineT for example that recommends valve check every 10000km. On the Honda it's every 40000km or something like that and the valve adjustments on a Ducati for example, will cost at least twice what it will cost on the Boxer engine or the Honda engine. The type of info that is often neglected in reviews but crucial to riders who put 30000km/year on their bike. Keep up the nice work!

+Motorcyclist Magazine Hi guys let me ask you a question..... let's say you are on your daily commute and have a flat tire....what do you do ? An outside quick repair like it would be possible on any bike with tubeless tires is out of the possible since you have tubes....., So really what do you do ? Call your boss and ask for a day off ??? In real honesty I am a great Honda fan, I currently ride a Honda NC700S and I absolutely love the Honda quality! That aside I would love to have the Africa Twin but since I would use it like at least 90% of potential buyers for commuting and cruising and not real off road use I am wondering what Honda thought putting tube tires on this bike ???? I know about the pros and cons of tube tires in rough terrain but if you want to go really off road, trust me you're going to choose a bike at least 100 pounds lighter !!! Do you think that Honda will any time soon come up with a tubeless tire version ???? Safe rides !!!

If you compare a Honda to R1200GS or Ktm 1190 you need to compare the VFR1200X Crosstourer, the AT rivals are the Vstrom 1000, BMW F800GS and Ktm 990

I bought the Honda center stand and power plug for my Africa Twin, and will be installing them in due time. I will say that I would've gladly paid the extra scratch for those two items installed from the factory. I can get by motorcycling without cruise control, and have been doing it since 2005. However, not having a center stand on a chain final drive bike is a pain in the butthole when it comes to chain maintenance 🙄. Not included the power plug is pretty JV too, Honda. Other than those two omissions, I love my Africa Twin so friggin much that I do not miss the 1190 ADV R or Multistrada 1200S I had before the it.

I test rode one with the dct which was weird for me . I expected to hate and find it flawed, it was way better than I expected but still not for me, great for an aging biker though. Id love to be able to turn the abs off on my cb1300 because i miss skidding into a parking spot like it looks like zach or Ari has at some point where he is parked. Childish I know but for me it will never stop being fun, just like bikes. I enjoy this channel

nick o I'm a aging biker! I'm 62 and I like both the standard model and the DCT. I actually have a VFR1200F with the duel clutch transmission. ..I turn the quarter mile in the 10's..at 136 miles an hour...A better rider might be able to go faster on it...that's just my time. I swear that you could not change gears as fast as that duel clutch can.. it's just flawless.

It's strange how your taste changes over time. I used to lust after this style of bike and had an XT500, AT750, 1100GS, and 950 Adventure before moving to 17 inch wheels and a Buell Ulysses (the best of all the bikes I've mentioned). I wouldn't buy an adventure bike now as I prefer nakeds. Good review.

Very nice bike - hate the display though. I know it isn't going to come through as clearly on video, but for nearly your entire ride....I saw black. There were a couple of times when I briefly saw information, but the lighting had to be "just right". Would prefer normal gauges with a smaller "information display" in between them. Too many of these newer displays look like the fell out of a box of Crackerjacks.

I am looking to sell my 2006 KLR with many upgrades that I have become used to having.Crash bars,highway pegs,cruise control,12v socket, lowered UFO front fender , centerstand, ect, ect. So I love the looks of the AFRICA TWIN and felt good sitting on it in the show room (im 6'4") Here is my question why buy the A.T. for basically the same money the Triumph tiger XCx comes standard with all the things I need and more without having to put it all on aftermarket which drives the cost of the A.T. above the Tiger XCx? Gotta have a quality skid plate,center stand, cruise control, engine guards, highway pegs(doesn't come with either but can attach to Tigers engine guards easy) Let me know what I am missing here , I would rather buy the Honda but I don't think I can. (rusty spokes and sticky buttons included on the honda) What is your opinion?????????????

A 2014-2015 Hyosung GT650R, I have one and I'd like to know how you find it compared to other bikes with your experience. They updated the brakes and suspension. I would lend you mine, but we have two continents between us! They are rare where you guys are if I'm not mistaken, but you promised!

Hondas are like BMWs... so "perfect" and smooth that they are borderline un-interesting, LOL.

bmw's are far from perfect. euro trash, way too many gadgets and overly complicated

Gadgets are their selling point, and the thing is, they rarely go bad, so i dont see the problem. "Overly complicated", yeah, well, that doesnt really speaks negatively for the bike... only the user. The only problem i see with BMWs is that they are pricey, but not more so than stupid harleys.

ComandanteJ , My 14' Harley Dyna street bob was $12,500 out the door with a 7 year unlimited mile warranty covering everything except wear items like tires and brake pads. However if I get a puncture I get a new tire just not if I wear it out. I love my Africa Twin more than any bike ive ever owned which is a lot but I will not be getting rid of my beloved Harley. It's not a stupid bike by any means.

Is it horribly wrong if I keep watching this just to listen to the sound of my bike when I’m not riding it?

The Honda doesn't have some of the fancy electronics of the more expensive bikes...like a power outlet. By the way, can you even read that instrument display in the daylight?

If it were possible would you buy a new Africa Twin or Ktm 990 Adventure?

How comfortable for 1.5-2 hr stints? I am looking for a bike to “commute” from southern Bataan, Philippines up to Subic Bay (about 1.5 hrs), then go exploring northern Luzon on the weekends. So far the AT Adventure Sports (bigger tank) and the KTM 1090 Adv R are high on the list... the Honda seems more comfortable/practical all-rounder, but I have connections with the Philippine KTM importer (can get a bit of a price break), and the KTM appears to be the more powerful and better offroad machine. Decisions... another point in the Honda’s favor: if I ever get near Manila traffic, the DCT would save my clutch hand’s bacon. Hmm.

Wonder why you compare this bike to 1200 Gs etc. This bike was developed by Honda to be class in its own. It was also meant to have less hp as you don't need that in terrain but to have torque at hand all the time. There is an interesting movie made about the Honda design team that will explain why it is what it is.
