6:21 I can't find any other sources that say that the back diff is an LSD. Anyone got some?

I hate riding cruisers with the feet forward position. Every time you pull away you can't find the pegs ! Also terrible cornering with your feet up front.

Thank you for your viideos! I think the great lost was the cruise control. Up to now, I don´t have news if possible to buy it after market, as an accessory at Triumph website! If it was possible, please, let me know if you could! Thank you!

Great review sir, much appreciated. Thoughtful, considered and professional. Just subbed. 😊

That was sweet. 1 tank every 4 laps😮

Good video! I hope you have lots of good experiences as your experience and confidence grows. The Interceptor is a great choice of bike.

Hi mate, did u review an Audi R8 spyder before? You look so familiar to me.

Also followed by drizzle and shower

This doesn't look like the 2024 Africa twin adventure sports. And the regular Africa twin comes in red color only no? Also for the 2024, the front mudguard is blue in color.

It's not nearly as complicated as your first impressions I assure you. I've owned one for almost four years now. Also, anyone that owns one never drives it in D. Put it in S2 or S3 and then it behaves like a proper motorbike.

I’ve been riding bikes for 42 years and I can honestly say (having had analogue and electronic suspension on over 30 bikes), the Africa twin Showa electronic suspension is some of the best available and can be setup in the menu settings to be anything you want. Manual suspension with adjustability can be setup similar although it may need re-shimming and a rider weight suitable spring, but most owners don’t bother. Having ES means you have a suspension setup for any road surface or speed at the touch of a button. As you say, honda also do a standard version.

When did you take your test?

At 72 with over fifty years of riding on many bikes in many countries across different terrains I can say definitively that almost every bike produced today is amazing. This has to be the golden age of ICE’d bikes. Presently, one of my bikes is an Africa Twin DCT and, over time, it’s won me over. Hated the DCT at first, after a year and 30 000 kilometers I’ve grown to love it. To call the DCT an automatic is foolish, there’s nothing automatic about learning how to use it properly. In fact, I’d argue in many situations it’s counterintuitive. A demo ride may actually leave one with poor impressions; it’s an acquired taste and demands new attitudes and skills. Still own and love manuals, but I also love the DCT.

I had the manual vfr 1200x crosstourer and changed to the dct crosstourer and the dct is superb. Mines is the 2nd generation dct ie Drive &Sport only and I don’t need the 3 tier sport . It’s a pity no other manufacturer makes DCT . I would consider this bike if I was changing.

Sport I, sport II, or sport III, forget default D mode, thats an eco mode that the EU insist manufacturers have! You don’t need to select manual mode to use the paddle shifters. As for suspension, it has to be one of the best electronic suspensions on a motorcycle. Go into the user mode setup, and you can fine tune the suspension way beyond what other manufacturers allow, on their electronic suspension. More importantly it allows pre-load to be finely set for your weight, as well as the predefined default. If I had one criticism, it would be the under sprung rear spring (no doubt set for a 70kg Asian test rider), but this has been dialled out using the user mode setup. Just love the ES, allowing me to choose depending on mood or state of road!

Great review, I'm on my second Manual Africa Twin Adventure sports (2022), but this time with ES and I can't praise these bikes enough.

I have no doubt these will sell very well in the U.S. I would wait to get a demo bike so you don’t pay another $1,200-$1,400 in dealer fees. I see one flaw - chain on the right behind the exhaust. Can you say pain in the ass chain maintenance and adjustment? Personally, for the $1,000 less I’d buy the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Cheaper parts, maintenance, and general upkeep. Plus it cones with a center stand! I’d put C-Bow system side cases on it, a front windscreen, and call it a day. I think it’s just a matter of time and RE will put the 411 in then and drop the 350 (if they were smart). Granted, it’s maybe only a 5hp upgrade but the engine is bulletproof.

In Ireland it's called the Vstrom 800RE, 12,150 euros too!!

Those Pirelli tyres are a bit scary. I had them on my T100 where they too were OEM fitment. Trouble is they're cheap versions of the same - but genuine tyre you might buy here. I'd much rather have a genuine Ceat than a fake Pirelli.

Great fun I'd say.

Beautiful day. Great bikes. Meantime in Bristol: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4fFqnh5idOCldk

Great stuff. A top day. That's my bike at 2:36 too : )

If its a "Scrambler" then why just the road trip? and why all the talk about suspension when it will seldom be used to the full, nice look but too many cc's and too heavy for purpose.

Great vid mate, Oz.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Subscribed

Missed the ride as I was taking part in another charity event in the Lakes. Thanks for the video. And some fab bikes on display.

Great video lots of positive vibes, think I was following you very closely at the back of the pack the whole way behind the amazing Suzuki bandit in red in mint condition! Lots of filtering maybe a different route next year though to avoid the red light parade!

Great video Dan and a pleasure to meet you on the day.

GT with mid mounts is probably the 👌🏻 PERFECT setup for me. Get the sportiness while also being comfortable.

Tremendous video! thanks for sharing!

And after GOD!! created this world we live in TRIUMPH!! created THE!! most beautiful bike to ever grace the planet ❤️❤️❤️

I don't think the 400 single competes with the 650 twin.

Better than a Tuono 660?

I love mine. 2022 GT

"Mid-life Crisis motorcyclist" I subscribed for the name alone!!!!

“Biggest and Scariest motorcycle you can buy” Son…you ain’t ever rode on an Orange County Chopper before, have you?

I have an 8S and I love it, I need to try the 8R to see how different it feels, I definitely like the idea of some (if not loads) wind protection and it looks decent. Nice review thanks!

Nice bike thinking maybe be on my bucket list. I currently ride a 2017 Hayabusa not planning on selling, only added a cruiser bike I like to see you ride and Judge this bike INDIAN CHALLENGER DARK HORSE & LIMITED another beautiful beast

Excellent review, cheers!

Suzuki just can't get away from it's own tatty Suzuki built quality, which to me always a let down...

This thing is the nicest looking spots bike(possibly any kind of bike), available right now.... imho of course. The proportions are bang on, I've never really been interested in a sports, but this one has my attention.

Better than Yamaha and Kawasaki’s offerings imo. That R7 should’ve shipped with no less than 90hp. Ninja 650 been screaming for a bump up as well

Lots of dead air in the on board "vlog" maybe prepare your thoughts before hitting record?

Haven't watched complete video yet but its unfair comparing Triumph 400 with Interceptor, Interceptor riding quality is much better because of that parallel twin and i wont even compare it to 400 just because oh bhp.

Yes you give a fair view on this bike, It's all boils down to just how much you want to spend on a bike, or give your money away, You as a young rider Most definitely learn off road or motocross and or trial's & track day's for road bike's, I do own a Interceptor , some info Air in and out, Air filter, down pipes & can's, & a little work with the engine, Front & rear suspension.

What about the 1 liter 2 cylinder F Type?

For me… the raw feeling of it, the kind of 90’s level quality is exactly what I was looking for. Plus the truly old school elements. It’s the least pretentious way to be pretentious… that’s key.

It's a pathetic bike. End of debate.

The GTc is a cabrio,…….. this onze not. So not a GTc…….

G’day from Australia . I have both RE interceptor & G.T.Continental 120 anniversary models. I think the 120 anniversary models are put together with more care , or perhaps use better quality parts in some areas. I have owned a standard interceptor before purchasing these 120 anniversary models, therefore I have some idea of the difference between them . I have fitted yss suspension, front & rear to both bikes as I agree with your opinion on the original units. I have owned v7 Moto Guzzi’s, the suspension was about the same as the RE original suspension, really needs swapping for better units, I feel most bikes at this price point suffer from similar suspension issues. Overall I love my Royal Enfields, even though I am a Harley bloke. Looking forward to seeing more of your content. Shiny side towards the sky. Hooroo mate🏍👍😎
