Africa Twin For The Win! 2016 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Review | On Two Wheels 

On two wheels is by far and a way, the best motorcycle show on RU-vid! Love ur stuff guys, it's just too short though 😜

Whoa they named a continent after a bike edit: i am re watching this video and completely forgot about this comment so you already know i came back down here to comment the same thing

Great review Ari & team! Really well done. It appears you guys like this bike as much as we do. Perhaps we should grab a few of them and go ride a Backcountry Discovery Route to see how they do moto-camping?

I've seen a lot of motorcycle shows, and On Two Wheels is definitely the best of them all BY FAR. It's always a great joy to watch you, guys. You're doing an awesome work! I wish you will keep up doing it forever! Best wishes from Russia.

love the top gear'ish intro . by far the most entertaining motorcycle review etc related channel. we want MOAR!

Easily the best review I've seen of this bike. On two wheels is always great, no nanna riding. The Africa twin isn't even close to my type of bike (sports), but the show is always great.

You guys just keep getting better & better at putting awesome content out. Best motorcycle chanel on RU-vid by far! Excellent first ride video!

Nice video. Would love to see a review against the 800 and 1200 GSs. Keep doing this amazing job guys, best motorcycle channel in RU-vid definitively.

Rain, gravity, and Santa! My worst enemy's have teamed up.

I don't understand why this channel doesn't have a LOT more views/subscribers. Hands down the best motorcycle enthusiast youtube channel. Great work guys!!

Great video guys. Can't wait see more Africa Twin!

Living in the Netherlands where everything is flat, buying a bike like this justifies going to countries like Romania, famous for their dirt bike races :)

This is the first new bike I have wanted in a great while and would make me not miss my Suzuki V-strom 650...also I'd be back to an all Honda garage (lawnmower and wife's car, too).

Awesome video guys! I'm happy you guys came to South Africa and looks like you had a good time! Hello from Cape Town :D

Gotta love this show!

The DCT reveals all the power it's hiding and improved shift timing by using the paddles in manual. It's programmed for fuel efficiency as the priority when in auto.

You guys are my favorite Motorcycle Channel, keep it up.

I decided I wanted this bike all of 3 seconds after finding out it was about to be released. Can't wait to get one.

cant wait till ya'll do a head to head with it and ktm/ bmw ! great vid as always

i just got the dct european model, injuries make it hard to use a clutch lever so this was perfect for me. great breakdown and great use of the equipment.

This is one of my favorite videos you guys have made!

Awesome review. I think the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin is going to be a purchase this coming year. NICELY DONE GUYS

Nice! love you're videos! Happy holidays to you motorcycle magazine. Can't wait until the next one :)

I underestimated this bike, but it looks like a ton of fun

Great looking bike. Hopefully now that Honda is finished with the CRF1000L they can start on the XR650L.

First off excellent job on the video guys .... well done! If I wasn't already drooling over the new Africa Twin I am now. Gotta have one :)

Thanks for another awesome vid guys! I can't wait till we get one at the shop so I can check it out up close.

Thanks for the video bro, I am going to buy 2016 with 20 000 km, I am 188cm and 110kg, I hope I will fit good

Great vid, taking one out this afternoon and excited 😁

Wow, so cool. Looks like the Honda might be more of a dirt bike than the ADV bikes from Yamaha, Triumph, KTM and BMW? So many killer options. Too much fun.

So cool. Great episode, guys!

Best review i've seen so far! great job!

I really admire this report 1 as a video producer myself and 2 as a huge Africa Twin fan :) BUT!! did you say the previous model being 650 CC? it's 750 CC actually..

great show guys, seen all your episodes! On an unrelated note to ADV bikes, Any indication on when you get to review the new Yamaha MT-10?

Got DCT on order. Thanks for the great review and video

Can't wait to see the off-road comparisons with the GS and others.

Gotta admit....Love to ride this thing.... Who am I kidding I think it's a bloody fantastic machine.

Mr. Henning, you lucky son-of-a...... :D. Been waiting for this. Thanks guys! Great video! Awesome bike!

I like to imagine a parallel universe where Zach is in the office with an Africa Twin and Ari somehow got stuck in South Africa with an Razor bike to review hahah

I myself don't care for shaft drive on such bikes, although BMW does shaft pretty well. It's still heavy, and quite messy when the seals give out, negating the prior cleanliness. As for the Honda AT, I do hope Honda offers it with the TC & ABS but with a regular manual transmission.

ridiculously great content! love you guys

Great video Thxs Which Scorpion jacket are u wearing?

DCT takes time to get used to but once you do... I have a 2010 VFR 1200FD and after learning how to use it right I would have a hard time going back to manual. One big tip DONT use the S or D modes, D can come in handy in very heavy rain when you want to tone it down some but otherwise I just use the "manual" mode and paddle shift. Only drawback is lack of clutch so for slow speed it is all about throttle control. I wish people who do reviews of DCT bikes actually had some experience with them, otherwise they always complain about it since they dont know how to use it right.

Got my DCT w the gold rims in California back in October

Honda can't be beaten at all. They make the best Motorbikes.

Honda please bring the white color scheme to the US please. I want this bike sooo bad

WOW! Thats a awesome bike! South Africa is truly beautiful...Such nice terrain... Great review, but i still love my KTM "the Bull" 690...

I'm looking for an electric bike for my three year old - what's that one you're riding in your office? Thanks!

I don't ride dirt but this bike makes me want to start!

No 2 Cylinder V Engine -was the heart of the africa twin!

Such a great video. As always.

Finally a new video! Thank you!

Zmy favorite video out of all the africa twin videos so far!!!! Well done hahaha

Ari, one of these days you should ask for an Aprilia Mana to test, I guess that you'll like it.

HONDA is the unchallenged king of motorcycling. Has always set benchmarks over the years and continues to do so.

Great video/review ...Thanks! I'm hoping the dual clutch transmission will transform motorcycling in a way the "new" 7/8/9 speed gearboxes have done for car drivers.

i like the africa twin i got a chance to sit on 1 at a bike show today. the seat is very nice and id say it would be good for long rides. it has a very long suspension travel.

Really Amazing video guys

Would love to see longer episodes!

Pretty sweet I only........ wish it it a shaft drive like the BMW GS1200r.......

You rode this thing hard! 👍👍 Can't wait to hear you comparing this to F800gs and ktm 1190R Thanks!!!

Awesome bike!

Excellent review. ...and entertaining too.

Nice. Question for these bikes is durability. With the exception of tire changes and the occasional missing chain link, can the dual clutch take the rider on a 35,000 kilometer journey at a stretch without major components failing in the midst of nowhere? Note that the current Dakar winning bikes are 450cc not 1000cc plus 500 pounders...

The best on the internet!

Excellent Episode, I just wish it was longer and more in depth. If you're going all the way to Africa, why not a decent 20-30min video? Good work nonetheless.

Oh my gawd! I want one so bad!

impossible to rent a Honda Africa Twin for my Utah and Colorado BDR trip this September and so its 1190 Adv R ...

Very good report. I've tried the AfricaTwin with the Autoshift on the road an i was not impress with it. I didnt like it. I can understand this option for some bikes because its hard to built a nice, smooth manuel transmission that work well under pressure it is not so easyI I would not change m'y Tiger transmission for that.

Awesome speed in 4:18 , 175 Km/h in dirt !!!

Man I've been watching you and Zack for the past two years now. You're equivalent to a motorcycle Top Gear. I'm gonna spam some more videos XD.

Thank you for a great review, compare to R1200Gs which one you think is better for long distance touring..

Nice review !!

oohh yeah, new Africa Twin!! very agressive ride review

Handsome looking bike with nice front end and a cracking sound....just wish for aluminium frame or something to make it lighter.Was expecting an 850cc bike 😕 uno xvl650-750 -next. look like one hell of a ride. low seat height might be a big seller tho

Best show! Keep it up!

First class review!

So I'm at a total standstill choosing between a Husky 701 Supermoto or the Honda Africa Twin. I live and ride in LA (near Angeles Crest HWY) and your Sea to Snow video killed me. I just turned 50 and have left my YZ to my young son and put my MX track days on a shelf. I ride both street and dirt so I'm looking for the best of both worlds. You having extensive test time on both, what's your opinion on which is the best for what LA has to offer?

KTM 990 Adventure had the same engine displacement, but with 115 Hp. I ride one. With the slip on exhaust and a sports air filter + ECU map it is probably 120-125HP. What happened to Honda? Did cat get Honda's VTEC?

Супер мотоцикл!!! У меня была Африка 750, вполне достойный мотоцикл

that was really good :) i enjoyed it a lot

Hi man, I'm thinking of changing bike, and I'm in doubt between Ktm 1190 Adventure R and African Twin CRF1000L. What you guys recommend? I wonder if the African is good for off-road? For Qu own a Tiger 800Xc and squeegee on average some 3000 miles a year with her only off-road.

In the on road and off road sections did they use the stock wheels or did they switch to street wheels and then dirt wheels. That would greatly improve the feeling in both settings.

Did he say that the dct model won't be coming to the U.S.? Good.

Wish they still made it in 750cc. Bikes these days are become too bloated and laden with technologies

@Motorcyclist Magazine I have a 2018 model, but losing air pressure at 10% per week on both tyres. Never gone offroad, just tarmac. My spokes look somewhat corroded though. I took it to Honda, who confirmed the deflation rate. We replaced tubes, and still happened to deflate. They are now ordering new tubes from Japan! Putting all tubes in a water bath, they don't show any leaks... It feels like I'm going insane! These tyres were supposed to be much safer to take the bike around the world, but I'm starting to get scared just to take her out for a weekly ride! Honda wants to tell me it's perfectly normal for tyres to lose pressure... but 10% a week seems crazy to me. I have owned many bikes before, and never ever faced such a high rate of deflation. The next thing I'll do is ask Honda to replace the rims. Any thoughts?

Is it easy to fix in the bush, it seems like an older bike without computers would be more suitable for overlanding

Awesome man

Fuck Yeah!!

Motorcyclist Magazine How did you guys find my home country?

What about wheelies with the DCT? Seems like they'd be tricky affairs unless it responds exactly/predictably to the triggers.

OMG! I want one so damn bad!!!

Awesome!!

BMW and KTM....hard times are coming!

"low seat height" To give you an idea, I'm around 170cm and I physically was unable to get on it, the seat was too high, and once I finally got the step ladder out I could not touch the ground with my feet...

Just a small quibble. Cage diving with sharks has lead to an increase in shark attacks on surfers around the Cape in South Africa because the sharks are coming in closer to shore.

Sign me up for one. But Honda, please bring the tri color to the US!

no shifting no problem?? do you ride a scooter or a motorcycle??

Why didn't you both go out there as there were two bikes to test

ım not a big fan of ADV's but this bike looks so good
