Another great video! When you ride down to Bisbee stop at the Lowell Historic District & Erie St on the SE side of Bisbee just past the Lavender Pitt. Another point of interest is the Warren Ballpark, constructed in 1909. It's still in use today.

Since I've owned a Triumph before, my vote would be for the Triumph Scrambler.

Ok that was a very cool cutover!! :) I echo what Tom said.. no riding for us today! Be well Mark! Thank you for taking us along.

Thanks for the update.

I'm fixing to buy a 25 AT ES DCT. I have to sell my 22 CanAm Spyder RT Limited first before I get it. I just don't ride the Spyder much so I am getting rid of it. I had a 23 Triumph 1200 GT Explorer and traded for a 24 CRF450RL so I could play on the trails more. I can't wait to get the new AT. Thanks for the video.

Hi Mark, another nice ride! Thank you for sharing. It seems like some of your Wisconsin weather snuck down here to the north Texas area. Today we are having a winter storm with snow, sleet and freezing rain. No motorcycle riding here today 😞. Ride safely!

Very creative garage door and weather comparison, Mark. You are exploding in the video production world. Don't forget us, the little people.😂

which bike is quicker your africa twin or your goldwing

LE DERNIER VOYAGÉ 😢

LE DERNIER VOYAGÉ 😢

Well done Mark! I'm thinking you should have named this channel "Mark's Toys" I love scanning the background 😊

We agree the Triumph Scrambler is a much better bike!!

Hey Mark, both are fantastic bikes. Great job of putting together your comparison video.

Great review Mark. Did I hear that KTM is in trouble? That Triumph is beautiful.

Top speeds on both these bikes is right around 100 MPH.

Fantastic Mark!!!!

Have U heard any news if Yamaha plans to produce a 2025 FJR 1300 model or any Updates at all Thank U for any information U mite have👍👍

Ow did you reset the clocks for the next service and tell it the running in was complete?

I'm thinking about paint the front red,big job 2 get the front off u think please?

Love the saddlebags. You mean to tell me that I do more off-road riding on my goldwing than you will on that African Twin? Another good presentation, Mark.

I think the upper fairing guard protects the plastics from damage from falls and/or brush.

Very cool video, Mark! Great job! Let me know when you riding near north GA so we can meet for a cup of coffee at twos!

congrats on your new purchase. I hope honda releases the NT1100 in the states

Hello Mark, i have chain slack of around 50mm in my speed 400, i want to adjust my self. Is it suggestable or should i go to Dealer?

DCT is boring. I bought a Honda 250 Recon with a foot shifter in 2022, and then a Rancher DCT in 2024. Whenever I ride, I always gravitate to the smaller ATV; its more engaging. I think motorcycles are meant to be operated fully in the original form with a clutch, no quick shifter, no traction control and no ABS. Otherwise, you're not really riding, you're just steering a couch down the road. I have a quick shifter on my new 2024 V-Strom 1050; I turned it off before leaving the dealers parking lot and have never used it. Of course, I'm also a guy who prefers a stick shift in my truck over an automatic, so.... I guess to each their own!

My first bike was a Honda 175 twin enduro. Not sure of the model name. Late 1970's. It was stolen in 1980 during my late shift at Jack-in-the-Box and set on fire.

Hi, I bought 2014 a Honda CTX 700 ND with DCT. Obove this first generation DCT isn't good at low speed I'm happy to have it. On the next Bangkok Motorshow I will buy a new bike to replace the CTX. Not sure yet, a BMW GS 900 Adventure or an Africa Twin. If it is the Twin it will be sure with DCT. In Europe I'm riding a BMW K 1600 B with original BMW quickshifter, need the cludge only to start in 1st gear. Very impressive system, too. But the DCT is something complete different. In my opinion the DCT is everywhere as good as a manual or better, never any disadvantige. Ok, one: You had to pay for this extra.😂 Regards from Thailand

I am buying one.

It took me years digesting information about Honda DCT. I ended up pulling a trigger on a 2025 AT AS DCT.. I just want to give it a try and see how it works. Now I have few long and cold winter months here in Canada waiting for the bike and preparing for the first ride.. I agree with all your points. And I am very excited to give it a try...

DCT = more complexity, cost and weight to fix a non existent problem.

I’ve a 22 DCT AS1100…. It’s a great bike …… until….. you need to manoeuvre in a tight space, especially on a loose surface, and or a slope…. It’s a dangerous bike in those situations…. Hate mine , absolutely brilliant if you ride on wide safe highway….. for my sort or riding… no way !

I have the DCT V4 1200x crosstourer and it’s superb and will not part with it . I had the manual 1200x and the DCT is a game changer.

Mark, I can somewhat relate. 61 years old now. Started Honda 50, 70, XL 100, later VTX 1300, then shifted to a Suzuki. This week, I'll pick up my last Honda. It is a 2024 Honda AT ES DCT. I hope to ride for many more years, the good Lord willing. Safe travels.

First time I’ve seen your video. This was excellent information. Packed with clarifying info on the DCT.

Happy New Year what is your thought on dual clutch on long adventure trips, reliability wise? I am very scarred of these electronics

Greetings from Normandie France I decided to follow your channel because I’m looking forward to possibly buying an FJR 1300 2020 model year…. I’m a Frenchman so I apologize if my English is not perfect, but there is luckily a Google corrector ride safe peace out.

Pretty damn boring video

Great video with very useful information. Suggestion: They need to put it on the U.S. version of the Transalp. For some of us vertically challenged 30-inch inseam the A. Twin is just too tall and too heavy. The Transalp is just a better fit for a lot of us. Question: Why buy the DCT if you have to drag a break ay low speed when you can buy a Rekluse clutch and achieve the same or better ride at low speeds on a variety of different bikes? Off road is all about low-speed technical control and the Rekluse clutch systems start at $700. At higher speeds you just aren't doing that much clutching anyway, so why would I need the DCT? Not trying to be negative as I do think the DCT is a step in the right direction, and I have owned 3 Hondas, so I am a Honda fan. I am just saying they need to consider the competition and the pricing given the alternatives. Maybe you could do a video on the differences of the Rekluse clutch's and the DCT clutches. I am very curious to see if I am missing something that is a game changer.

DCT is stupid. Your shift foot and clutch hand are already there.

Very good and nice video. Thank you for taking the time to flim this down. I plan on replacing my Gs with this.. hopefully 🤞🏽

dct is for gay people only :D

I have owned the 22 1100 adventure sports Africa twin... returned it after 7000km and nothing but trouble. Never had a bike with more problems than this honda...electronics and a gearbox that lived it's own life...

Great video Mark. Although I have a 6 speed Goldwing, I can see why people like the DCT. Never know, I could end up with a 2025 Goldwing Tour DCT yet!! It looks like Honda has put a lot of thought into the DCT African Twin. Happy New Year my friend.

nice informative video but the barrel roll transitions a quite annoting ~~

I have the 24 DCT. It's unbelievable. There are not many bikes that can beat me off the line.

Mark, love your garage. Where did you get the helmet and coat rack in the corner?

Great point. Im 62. Arthritis in my hands and elsewhere rears its head after a soirt time. Dct would help immensely

Now, that is some great and in-depth information, Mark. Time to add another reason, because you had extra room in the garage…lol. Have a great New Year, Mark.

Price Price... versus overall value?

Oh my! I had an SL-70 in the early 70s. Who knew 7 HP then was as pleasing as 107 HP today!
