Africa Twin Adventure Sports - chasing a dream 

"i just want one of those" Perfectly said mate, lot of emotion involved in choosing bikes

never stop, I'm 70 and just got back to the UK from the Sahara in Morocco.. Fantastic

Just an amazing video... I'm a rider and found this channel researching ADV bikes. This was so beautifully filmed, edited, and written... I actually found myself getting emotional at the end of it when you described what I bike can do for you and where it can take you. I don't have friends that ride and my wife doesn't get it, so it's wonderful to hear and see someone so eloquently deliver the message... Keep up the good work, your channel should grow profoundly. Cheers from San Diego, CA.

I was choosing between T7 and AT and my heart went with AT. No regrets, awesome bike!

You’ve captured so much of what I’ve felt astride my AT but failed to put into words, let alone pictures. Thank you for taking ADV films to another level.

Beautiful cinematography. Makes me want to emigrate.

Absolutely love the fact that you bought it because it made you feel a certain way! I lost a deposit on a bike I ordered because when I was my bike in the show room I couldn’t walk away

You motivated me to also buy an Africa Twin. An older 2017 DCT model, though. Absolutely smitten and love it. Does everything my DR650 could do. Mine is named Toto. Good name for an Africa Twin with a rider from Africa (Southern Africa). Love your videos.

A very adventure ride, this video makes anyone to pick up a bike and start riding. Amazing ride and video

The Power Of Dreams From The Top Of The World ❤

And now I want a Africa twin as well 🤦‍♂️ Great video mate. So much detail. Can’t wait to follow along and see more. Can only imagine the time spent 👌🏽10/10

Damo, you have excelled once again, setting a standard for humour, humility and a thoughtful review. The cinematography and production are excellent, whilst your narrative is outstanding. Really looking forward to more videos of your journey with Murray.

Always so jealous of the sheer amount of trails and off road you guys have access to. Here in the UK there’s very little, and what there is is constantly being removed from use.

This is the best looking bike hands down

Great bike and a fantastic video so well put together. Your time and effort put into this is appreciated👌

I really liked your riding skills and the entire ride centric video editing! Thanks for the amazing video.

4 minutes in and you absolutely nailed it. The outtakes at the end cracked me up.

i REALLY enjoyed watching your videos on your RU-vid Channel, Even I do love Japanese bikes since childhood, I don't know why but I really loved Japanese Bikes. God Blesses you always and enjoy your safe ride...

The "Todd Carney cocktail", brilliant, along with the rest of the video. Murray suits you and the fact that you know how to ride it is a bonus.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant...both the content and the bike! 🏍👍

Outstanding video production. Really great work. I had never considered ADV bikes when I was younger, but understand their appeal now.

thanks by share your experience...It was amazing.

Thanks for sharing your adventure! Great filming and editing. My ATAS is parked for the winter here in Norway now - good to see fresh videos from the southern hemisphere during this season, while longing for spring to come.

Gorgeous video, this is what realizing an ADV dream looks like

Damo, love your story telling and videography! Beautifully done and narrated! Subscribed for more! Loved the bloopers!! 😂

Awesome video. Thanks for posting. Ive had a 2016 Africa Twin since the month it was released and I’m getting ready to upgrade to a 2023 your video answered a lot of questions for me not to mention right out entertaining. Love the blooper reel at the end. 😂

Excellent video. I really hope you keep it up. Your video was simply great to watch.

I love a content provider that doesn't take himself to seriously yet gets some good points across. Spot on 👌. Just bought myself a Tuareg 660 can't wait for my own adventures to begin

That was very awesome that was very nice. Thanks again Man

My V Strom makes me feel exactly the same way. Including saying g'day to it when venturing into the garage.

Great video. Enjoyed every bit of it. Just checked Adventure 890 and Africa Twin. As you said - I kind of felt that 890 is something I need… but just by checking out - Africa feel much more like something I want. Enjoy the rides!

Quality production Damo, you got yourself another sub 👍

Great video! And as you mentioned, it is not about the best motorbike according to any review. It is about the motorbike you want to own and ride. This is a very personal and emotional topic. I ended up with a 2019 AT with DCT and I absolutely love it. Keep riding! Michael

It's a long time dream of me. The Africa Twin is unique ❤️ you drive in a wonderful Area! Best wishes from Berlin /Germany!

I have an 2020 ATAS and I love it for many of the same reasons that you do, I also love the reliability! I get off into the mountains in western Canada whenever I can. It's amazing to get off the beaten path and challenge myself and my machine to get to places that most people never see. It is quite literally two wheeled therapy for me and is so good for my soul. Thanks for sharing and never stop riding!!

You lucky bastard... i see your video and think "a dream for every Biker" Greetings from an Africa Twin AS Rider from Germany ✌

Spot on, the almighty brain battle between an 890R, Tuareg and T7 for offroad agility, yet here we are, a 16 DCT, 17DCT and now the 1100 as the RouteBike. It's not a BMW on the road, nor a Kato in the bush, it just sits square in the middle.

Bloody brilliant! came here for the adventure left thoroughly entertained 😂 Thanks my man enjoy the festive cheer

You mentioned the best reason to get an Afrika Twin; it was the bike YOU wanted, regardless of pros and cons. Glad you love it -many do.

Beautiful cinematography, mate! Loved this 🙌

First of all congratulations for the new Africa Twin and how well you made the video. The reason n°2 you told was exactly what I tough when I bought my ATAS 2018 DCT. Every ride they put a smile on us. New subscriber here.

I'm so happy to own an AFRICA TWIN 1100 ADV SPORTS DCT EL SUSPENSION in black matt. I'm in love with that bike-the GOAT bike!!!!

Great video brother! A good overview and reasoning about the bike, a nice road trip, and excellent videography and editing.

Mind-blowing visuals, music and narration 👍🏼

i enjoyed watching this very much and had a good laugh . thanks .

I love my 2016 AT with no bells or whistles and you've nicely captured what it means to have a slightly unhealthy relationship with your bike but I'm equally unapologetic about it. Nice vid 👍

Brilliant video Damo. Loved the outtakes at the end as well. Great production and content. Awesome….

Winner winner chicken dinner. That was epic mate - well done. Test rode a 21 standard/manual the other day - loved it. There will be a 23 AT AS manual gearbox in my near future, just got to sell 2 other bikes to make it happen. Love the “loin” skit haha. Cheers from NZ.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this amazing bike and for the superbe video :-) Can't wait to go pick up mine!

Great info and thanks for listing the mods!

Really good video, thanks

Nice one! informative and entertaining. Thanks.

It’s grate cinematography…! Nice to watch and had 🤩

Thanks for sharing this. Amazing quality of the production. My ATAS is currently resting, waiting for king winter to depart Norway :)

Great video bro, I love my AT, it makes me happy 😎

Thanks for a fantastic video! I have not had curry since I travelled in India 1984!☺

Great production!

Man, THANK YOU for doing this video! Instantly subscribed! All of the reasons you gave for choosing the Africa Twin, were mostly the same for me. I plan on buying mine late this year, or early 2024. Trail riding is how I started riding motorcycles, when I was a little kid, all the way through my teenage years. At 12 years old, I got my first "real" motorcycle; a 1979 Honda XL 185. A 4 stroke with a lot of torque down low in the revs. The Africa Twin reminds me of my XL 185. You're right about the internet "experts" spitting on anything larger than the Yamaha Tenere 700. This had me second guessing my Africa Twin choice. It's been since my childhood, that I've ridden trails and off road, so I thought maybe my thinking was wrong, here. I've ridden almost exclusively on road since my teens, but I'm no stranger to big bikes, as my current bike is a 2021 ZX-14R. I'm not afraid of the weight; in fact, it provides stability in situations that smaller bikes would be sketchy in. The type of riding you did in this video is exactly what I plan on getting back to. I don't plan on any crazy single-track or extremely technical riding. To quote 'Roger Mutaugh' from Lethal Weapon, "I'm too old for that $hit". I just want some fun, relaxing mind-freeing trail riding, on a bike that has all the bells and whistles, capability and reliability to get me there and back again with no headaches. The Africa Twin is still the best choice for this and far more than I want to do.

Love the video!!!!!

Your bike has to speak to you every time you see it! That’s what my 2021 ATAS does ! It says get on and I’ll take you anywhere and bring you home again!

Great editing, filming and story line. All up excellent.

I really enjoy this video, the drone footage is exceptionally remarkable, well done sir. Hello from Alberta, Canada

Great video mate! Salutation from 🇨🇭

So glad I found your channel. Great stuff dude. Great production, riding and a solid dry sense of humor. 🍻 from the land of Snoop dogg, the northern end of that state.

I found this video, the narration, the scenery, everything about it, so calming, relaxing, like a mental cleansing ritual of sorts. Maybe its the purity of the land of Australia, maybe the narrator is a realised soul, I dont know, but it all materialized together beautifully. Many thanks to the whole team and best of luck for your future. Now I wish I had friends like this - people of calm spirit with a yearning for adventure and exploration.

bikes are dream machines you own them not for monetary value but for the shared pleasure of therapy for the stress you feel as if you flying through time and space

Amazing drone videos, quality of entire film is terrific! Well done! Subscribed, looking forward for new videos!

I have the same😄👍Greetings from Poland!

Damo, best video yet on the Africa Twin! My sentiments exactly on the ATAS too, she's something I've wanted, so I got one. For me, she's the perfect bike for the "not so perfect" rider! I'm pretty green to all this but she inspires confidence and gives me that freedom I've desired since leaving the aviation industry. Those locations your riding in, very close to my backyard, it's just heaven out that way! Some of those gravel roads are very familiar! Great cooking tips, had me in stitches!!

Very nicely filmed!

sure did make the right call

Excellent content and well put together. I think we take ourselves way too seriously sometimes when it come to bike choice, so love your outlook. I’ve recently transitions to a 2020 ATAS DCT Yes it’s too heavy for my 69yr old body but I don’t care. I love it. I love at Cooranbong so familiar with your ride

Wow, deep, tears, amazing, inspiring to ride the planet, I own the 2023 ATAS at 7400kms and I love it...

Im on my second AT now, just stumbled onto your channel its great cheers 🍻 👍

Haha .awesome one damo 🤣😂👍🍻keep up the bloopers. Made my day ! have a good Christmas and new year m8, see you in the next episode!!

I thought the video was great until I saw the bloopers. The video is now classed as "AWESOME!"!!! Great job mate 🙂

Great video!

after 6 years and having 5 Triumph im going back to my Honda after this video. i wasn't just sure is this a bike for every day in traffic but you right ,who cares buy the bike when you look at it every day it give you smile .good rereview mate

I love the roads around RWD, and the Waterfall way!! I’ve never ridden them but drove them may times. Great to see you ripping them up! I cannot believe new the Honda Transalp runs the horrible and cheap looking headlight off the CB500X, and I own the CB500X! The dual headlight set up and running lights on the AT, and especially on the black model, is one of the best looking and toughest fronts in motorcycles, awesome video Damo, love it! Thanks!

I just happen to find this Gem of a Small Channel. No Joke You Keep up the work and make more content like this you will be at 1 Million Subs in no time. Seriously great quality of Work. Have fun Rude safe.

amazing video !!!!! greetings from GREECE!

Right on ehhh! I have the same bike 2020 tri-color version. 21000 km and still smiling. Honda reliable, and with es suspension, able to transition on the fly. Canadian Rockies is my home turf, with plenty of adventure throughout BC. There are more capable single track warriors out there, but for multi-week camping throughout mountains, highways, cities, and ocean road ways, I'll take the AT every day. Like you, I grew up a Honda Patriot, and living my dream. Cheers bud, from Canucksville 🇨🇦 :⁠-⁠)

Well done! Just subscribed! I bought a 2016 DCT in 2016 when they first came out. Flew to the dealership 1,400 miles away and rode it back. I had switched the seat to the lower profile at the dealership because I’m vertically challenged at 5’6” with 29” inseam. Not the smartest thing I’ve ever done. Lol Ride safe and looking forward to your next adventure. Ride safe…🙏🏻🏍🙏🏻😎😁

As a kid I built a Rothmans Dakar Honda bike, Tamiya model , I now own a 2016 Africa and I still walk in the garage to look at it and smile that I own one. I would still love a early 90's 750 Africa. Thanks for the video and also you may have swayed me to the Karoo 4's

What a great channel!! New subscriber Keep um coming mate🍻🍻✌️

I love my black 2019 AT. Reliable and smiles for miles. Comfortable, and can load it up a fkoff to the middle of nowhere.

Amigo!! Excelente video! I have the same AT AS in red white and blue. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽

Wow man you are lucky to live near all that.

I've heavily ripped on mine on and off-road or 8000 miles now, and have zero regrets other than being 5'8 doing donuts in the mud. As someone my height, it gets tough after a few hours. My biggest negative is show almost immediately around the 3 minute mark. The mud blows right up the back and all over the side of both me and the bike. As someone with a Peral white, I'd love a bit of extra flare out there to protect me and the bike a bit more, but also hasn't stopped me from having an absolute blast of road. @ 16:50 that's why I always bring two ratchets straps that are about 10 feet a piece. Use them like a winch for either my bike or for clearly paths.

😁 i was laughing at the last bit..." i can feel it in me loins " Nice filming work too ...suscribed 👍

Damn, you are lucky to have such a beautiful place to ride and enjoy nature, on a absolutely top notch bike

You're an excellent videographer. Really enjoyed going along on the journey, albeit on my screen 😀.

👌🏻 Love Your videos!

Top quality. Funny. Had me at RJ. I’m subbing.

You seem like the kind of guy I’m looking forward to meet off the road. 🤙🏻 amazing video, awesome bike, keep it up!

Mate, this is such a beautiful video. What an amazing place to live. Jealous? A little. I’m near the Alps with my 2018 ATAS but the attitude to bikes on trails is a little strict unfortunately. Have to head towards the mountains to avoid the crowds. Glad to have discovered your clips!

The algorithm needs a good flogging. Been watching youtube for many years and only just found this now. Who doesn't love a bullshit fast bike eh?

im going to goto my grave jealous of the riding landscape you guys down there have compared to middle england , great bike choice as well i want one too

Same here mate about pictures of Dakar bikes! I am riding 1290 SA now!!! Great video!

Awesome video! Subscribed
