Honda Africa Twin Used bike review Bang for your buck? (70) 

Thanks Steve. I just finished a 9000 k return trip from Cairns to the Great Ocean Road and all the other Victorian wonderfulness on my 2017 dct. Barry Way up the Hill to Jindabine was my fabourite bit. I managed 380km on a tank with the light flashing for the last 50. It took 18 litres. The bike is like a magic carpet on snotty dirt roads with its stock suspension. I used grip puppies, an air hawk seat and a kaoko throttle lock ( just for stretching on long straits) and was extremely comfortable. I used an Altrider adjustable link to lower the bike an inch. It hugely increased my confidence and even made it easier to wheel the bike around. 5 minutes with a spanner to change the ride hight to up, down or stock height. Victorian traffic was very polite, but my mates said thats because my mainly white/ blue tricolour with its running lights/blinkers combined with my road helmet and black leather jacket made me look like a copper. The chain was regularly lubed and inspected but didn't need adjusting. Apparently the DCT gives chains a much easier life. The bike loves Karoo Streets but had they only last around 5000 ks. I hope this info is helpful.

I clicked on this video so fast. You make THE BEST bike reviews on YT

G’day Steve, thanks for a great review on the Africa Twin. Honda should be giving you a commission, 😄 but I think you’ve described the bike well and given a good explanation of the features and the bikes capabilities. I’d call your channel a real pearler mate. Thanks 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

well done m8. next up 2018 ADV Sport DCT from beautiful and wild Cambodia baby!

Great review! I am riding my 2019 version with DCT for the 3rd season now and I absolutely love it. City, on-road, off-road. You name it, the AT does it really well.

What a great review, detailed and example of pushing these bikes hard off road.

Just found your vblog, fun with good info. Just watch your old scooter vid and it would be interesting if you did a vid on Adv scooters such as the Honda Adv 150 or the newer Adv160. With longer suspension compared to the tested 150cc scooter it might be the best fun “ unicorn scooter “ for urban commute and even more fun adventure on gravel-dirt roads and trail riding. Such Adv scooters might become more popular currently and in the years ahead. Give it some thought. 👍

Fantastic video and what an awesome bike 👍

Hey Steve. Another great review. No one comes close to such a thorough breakdown. The DCT is absolutely the best thing ever on these bikes. I wish Honda did this on the new Transalp. I have one of these bikes in Adventure Sport guise. My understanding of the ‘G’ mode, is it sharpens up (makes it faster) the gear changes. I can’t really tell the diff, but it’s supposedly better off tarmac. Keep up the good work mate 👍👍✅

Love your in depth reviews Steve, New England here ,subed all!!

Such a good quality content, got a subscriber

Top review 👍🏼

Fantastic review! Absolutely informative, thank you!

I lowered it by 50mm, I had wanted to improve my confidence on it. I may raise it up in 1-2 years but I'm happy with being able to get both my feet flat on the ground.

Thanks for another great video Steve, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, your video presentations are so well done. The bush looks very familiar to me.. looks like very similar to the mallee scrub here in Mildura. I travel to Adelaide regularly but rarely through Hahndorf - it's a longer trip that way. Just one question - is that a clutch lever, if so what used for? thank you :)

Great Bike, in the beginning they were good priced, now its almost so expensive as a GS. Second hand in Europe they are still ridicules expensive priced, they don't lose value because a lot of people want them. Its just the best and to most good looking bike on the market. 😁😁

Awesome video 🙂 - I Love my 2016 DCT AT - The Gravel Mode is excellent in the very tight technical stuff - You can feel how it grips better and throttle response is sharper (it does something in the gear box) - The Manual actually states it will eat tyres - I destroyed a tyre in 2000 kms riding constantly in gravel mode before I knew what it was for. I am short (168cm) and I keep the seat in the highest setting and I still comfortably reach the ground with one foot. I too, prefer taller bikes. I was first concerned if I could handle her off-road as I came from a CRF250L and then a DR650. Honestly, my AT does everything my DR650 could do, just faster 😂. Standard suspension is very adjustable and perfect for me (75kgs). I can also easily pick this big girl up - I have dropped her several times in very technical situations and slippery mud. Solo pick is no issue - The DCT is just phenomenal - As you said, you can concentrate on the track as opposed to having to feather the clutch. Thanks for an awesome video. Just subscribed too - Safe riding 👊

hi. On my crf1000 2019 g is limited power and different engine braking and higher level traction control which can be changed any way. Superb review you made.

Another good one Steve. Based on your experience with this bike would you go for DCT on the NC750X ? 🇬🇧

Hi Steve Your new sub here. Awesome detail in the video. A quick question. Honda offers 4 k discount on their 23 model currently. Would you recommend buying 2023 model cheaper or wait for the arrival of 2024 model? I’m planning to buy a ATAS manual. Thanks

great video👏🏼👏🏼 Which tank ring did you use for your Givi tank bag? I used this tank bag on the Yamaha Tracer and I haven't been able to find a tank ring that works on my 2017 Africa with this Givi tank bag

Hi Steve - thanks for helping me with my decision in buying an Africa Twin. Now, would you recommend a quick shifter for my Africa Twin AS manual? The dealer guy said, it's worth the money. I have never used a quick shifter. I just wanted to have your thoughts before I commit to it. Thanks heaps again.

I got a question for you, does these bike the bike inspires confidence on the corners when you are on dry tarmac? I'm asking because Ryan F9 said on this video about this bike that he doesn't feel safe on the corners on dry tarmac. one other thing does the bike have sport mode?

How tall are You, im 6'2 is it ok for longer ride You think?

We live to filter😂

Australia encourages something that Americans deem to be dangerous! Now that's the biggest surprise of the video. There is hope for AUS
