2020 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports | Long Term Loan

[@Nell1052]

Love the way the Africa Twin has evolved, a refreshing choice for those of us that that don't buy in to the GS sheep mentality ;)

[@xcaliber7779]

Amen to that! In a sea of GS be an Africa Twin.

[@MrAlmar07]

As I've said before Rich. If I was to go for a new bike, you've sold me on that Africa Twin. That was a nice wee route the Calimito app took you, so cheers for taking me with. Awrabesht to you & the family mate. 😉👍💙

[@Jaffa1951]

I think the fine tuning you'd like best on that AT is not the smaller screen, but your name in the log book.

[@MrTeriyakiman]

Interesting that you should mention the bar oscillation Rich. I had a 2017 AT DCT and that did the same. It happened through 2 sets of tyres at multiple pressure combo’s. I returned it to my dealer and they couldn’t find anything wrong. I couldn’t tune it out with suspension settings either. The problem was more pronounced with luggage on but was there all the time and I think if I took my hands off the bars for long enough it would develop into a full-on tank slipper. It was one of the reasons I got rid of it - I was convinced it was bent (it was brand new and never dropped). It’ll be interesting to hear what Honda think (if you mention it to them) - they must know about it.

[@Greggspies]

Once had a FJR which wore out one side of the front tyre? Had to sell in the end

[@seanlittle3006]

Well this was a fun video to watch. I enjoyed your british accent, sense of humor and the beautiful countryside of England. I've been wanting an Africa Twin all long while researching other Adventure Bikes. I took a very short test drive on one a week ago. I found your comments about AT vs BWW GS inspiring enough to make me want to buy the AT. Thank you for your tips.

[@RichyVida]

Thanks Sean. It’s a great bike, no doubt about it. Did you go for DCT? 👍

[@David-xg6ws]

Richy....sorry not the right place for this but had to share- My wife is a big music lover and knows you are one my favorite moto vloggers....just showed shared with her a couple of your music videos....Luke Combs- When it rains it pours and Ozzy- Crazy Train. She was thoroughly impressed my dude as am I. Keep being you brother!

[@RichyVida]

Oh top man! Thanks very much! 🙌

[@richardballinger517]

Re never touching standard suspension settings, I never did until my route to a place of work involved a section which killed my back. After playing with the rear preload I found the sweat spot for me, makes a world of difference. Now on my st1300, it needs a lot of preload adjustment for differring weight loads but getting it right the bike rides/handles so much better.

[@RichyVida]

Yeah, I’ve pumped the preload on the rear and that’s already made a difference. 👍

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

That bike has it all, there's even an optional makeup mirror on the dash...🤣 Great video as usual.👍

[@michaelneve3223]

I’ve got a Tiger 1200, there are many reasons why but one is ‘it’s not a GS’. I’ve got nothing against the GS either but there are loads of great bikes out there and people should buy what they love!

[@sueopie4667]

Tim has a Givi tank bag for his AT but he had to alter the tank lock for the five litre bag to fit in the correct position. Like you he would be mortified if the tank scratched due to the magnetic bag. So agree with you the AT is a mega looking bike. Enjoy your adventures together 💖xxx

[@IngramCars]

8:09 glad I watched this when it popped up on my feed! Checked a pic of my new bike (that i collect in a few weeks) and noticed that it has the big screen fitted, unlike the smaller screen I liked on the demo bike I rode. Would hate to look through it as opposed to over it, and the dealer is kindly swapping it for me.

[@TheRyan668]

Mine did the same thing with the head shake! I pit the Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires on and had them balanced, no more head shake!

[@RichyVida]

Good to know! I always say it's down to tyres and pressures.

[@splodge57]

I had a Honda 750 back in 1977 and with hands off bars the steering would shake. The dealer told me there was nothing wrong, you're not supposed to ride not holding the handlebars. Good advise.

[@RichyVida]

😂😂

[@martinsero685]

🇬🇧👏🤩 Thanks for the tip concerning use of the rear footpegs. Nice video. Great ride on your fantastic HONDA Africa Twin. Kind regards from 🇩🇰

[@patrickhurst8205]

Great vid as usual thanks. As regards the Calimoto App presently I am using the free app on my ST1300 as opposed to my zx6r which is having a rest or more like my body is. I have found that now and again its took me on lets say some less favourable roads particuarly on my Pan, however, if I believe them to bit challenging and would prefer slightly faster more open roads I hit the 3 dots which reroutes if you come across a closed road or diversion and therefore works as a quick rerouter.

[@markbright7845]

I think the point of sitting into the bike when it’s down on its side is to use the power of your leg muscles to push the bike upright, instead of using your back muscles, as you may when facing the bike. As someone else has already said, flick the side stand down first though.

[@Kurlach]

When I did the BMW ORS course in Wales the first thing they did was lay a bike down and show us how to pick it up. Lock the bars toward the screen and lift it up. None of this walking it back etc and it was easy. I like the AT, but prefer my GSA Rallye TE, but they’re all good now. All in the eye of the beholder in terms of aesthetics really.

[@keithwilliams4262]

Next time you pick up a bike like you've described. Try putting the side stand down before you lift it, that way if you over do it it will fall onto the stand. Just speaking from experience 😄 🤣

[@highlandriders9696]

Technique is key when lifting any bike. Cheers for another quality review Rich.

[@RichyVida]

Absolutely

[@andyrawlings5369]

you getting very attached to the at very good of honda to loan it to you my 800 viffer 2015 model last month the heated grip switch assy fell apart so i got in touch with honda uk had to take bike to local dealer for them to look at. They had a look at it took some photos and sent them back to honda , honda uk today have been in contact with me and they are going to replace the switch and grip assy free off charge i have to pay the dealer for the labour which is one hour approx 60 pounds the grip assy is 170 and vat on top !! honda could have told me no as the bike is well out off warranty that is why i run hondas the back up service is good . when you taking viffer out next you will jump on it and it will be like putting a well worn glove on the at in the colours that you have look well going to have ago on one soon another great vid rich .

It's the Battlax Touring R or something. It's the next up from the £86 BT023. My front 023 is still quite new, but like you said, it feels like I'm riding on a dry road now. I'll never skimp on the rubber again. Cheers.

[@daithimurphy1832]

Best to turn the bars away from the tank when facing the bike for lifting. Towards the tank when not facing the bike.

[@paulwood7798]

Two things Rich. First great ride out and chewing the fat. Second this trip was shared to us in July 20 but was not ringing my alarm notification bell until today. Second time its happened and last time I had no notification and missed five of your Vlogs for months before YT notified me you had released content. I know its not you or your fault but have any other subscribers had this issue or is this a me only issue I wonder because of my remoteness. Finally I must say that plumber looked a bit suspect. Looked a typical BMW rider.

[@RichyVida]

Not heard anything about this? I’ll have to rewatch this vid now, as I can’t remember it!

[@M43MAGNUM]

The wobble on your handle bar is caused by your top box at the back due to the weight inside your top box

[@RichyVida]

It isn’t 👍

[@stevenjonestriumpht1207]

I wish it was only 30 degrees C it's been over 40 here the last few days not worn anything but my mesh jacket for weeks. A RevIT Air in silver

[@RichyVida]

You must have heard of Steve at Big Bike Adventures then? Top bloke of you haven’t. Head over to his channel, he’s a Honda man, rattling round Australia on his AT ;-)

[@PhilShenton]

@@RichyVida Yes follow Steve, he just did a video about a mate of mine that just crashed in outback and needed airlifting to hospital. Also, just been to bike shop and put my deposit down on ATAS ES DCT. Should be ready next week. What do you think of the factory panniers? Decided whether or not to get them or some aftermarket jobs.

[@stacyfoote3985]

Great video as always. The VFR is more my cup of tea, but that is a great bike. On a side note, it's nice to see your plumbers soldering, here in the states it seems they are using Pro Press crimp type fittings more often. I still prefer to use solder.

[@TomReinerDE]

Funny to look back and hearing you contemplating about maybe getting one... BTW, you are right about the tank bag. I have the SW Motech one with the Pro Rank Ring to keep scratches off my tank. Works a treat.

[@RichyVida]

Yeah, they have sent me a couple to review due to me moaning about this one. They seem very top quality.

[@TomReinerDE]

@@RichyVida Yep, they are clever with the vloggers and KZbinrs - good marketing, but backed by a good product.

[@alexwalton1888]

Great vid, love the channel. I have the 2018 standard AT. Same wobble at about 40ish especially on deceleration. It doesn't develop into a tank slapper and sorts itself out, however: Solved by massively increasing rear preload - 90ish kg in riding gear and 5 clicks from max. For me this removed all wobble without the top box on. Still some headshake with the top box on but not noticeable. My guess would be that the high location and extra weight of a loaded top box creates an oscillation with the big twin banging away at lower rpm's.

[@mt-015]

Richy switch G mode active. Aggressive shifts. Also engine brake one bar

[@Sion_Jones]

I've never ridden the AT, but own a GS. I have to say I prefer the looks of the GS, but each to their own really. The GS just does everything well. It's infinitely tweakable with so many aftermarket bits. It's like anything mega popular, some people will automatically hate it. There is a reason it's so popular though. It's just so good. Just ask Bruce ;)

[@RichyVida]

I don't even have a slight dislike for the GS, I've always said it's a mega bike. Just never seen myself owning one. But you're right; there's a reason they're so popular. I need to get my ass on one for a bit to see what that reason is!

[@Sion_Jones]

@@RichyVida and let's face it, if you buy any of the modern adventure bikes, you will not be disappointed. They will all be brilliant, do it all bikes.

[@ThePumpkinheed]

Just to add my bit on the Calimoto app, it's really nice to use and the round trip planner is awesome as is planning trips on the desktop version. I went for the premium option, mainly because I done a long trip outside of my free zone and its been great. My only gripe is that on twisty and super twisty routes it takes you through a lot of housing estates and 30mph roads so I do have to check the route properly first. Great vid on the AT as well btw.

[@stableslayers3958]

Great bike. Test ride basic adv sport non electric and electric suspension. Omg. Brought myself the electric version but manual with quick shifter just racked up 100 miles. Best bike I’ve owned love it. Ktm non comparison tbh. Loving the reviews. Be interested on the screen updated ASAP 👍🏻

[@simonyearn3981]

Like you, I’m tempted by the AT. I’ve only had a test ride on the DCT version as I wanted to see if it was as good as everyone said. I did like it but I still like the idea of manual too. My question to you, as you’ve ridden the DCT extensively now, is if you were to take the plunge would you go manual or DCT? Sounds like electronic suspension is creeping up the wish list too ... this could get expensive! 😂

[@RichyVida]

DCT 100%

[@SuperchargedLlama]

@@RichyVida and you can get the foot shifter if you want a bit of "manual" control in the traditional sense.

RichyVida dammit, there goes another grand! 🤣

[@MarkKeckeis]

Supercharged Llama I have manual with quick shifter. Best of both worlds I think.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

@@MarkKeckeis I'm torn. What I really like about the DCT is never having to use a clutch when you're pulling away; on my one nothing could do me off the lights because it just hooked up, that was fun. But after that....yeah the up and down quick shifter and the lower weight of the manual is probably better? I've never ridden anything off road so I don't know much about that style of riding and which is better. I'll be honest and say that the Tiger 900 is really catching my eye atm, and that'd be with a quick shifter.

[@thinkingoutofthebox.9421]

Its easier full lock so bar is away from the bike giving more leverage. I've used walking back into bike on my G650gs Sertao while green laning and thats easy but is lighter than a AT.

[@RikkyTang]

I've ponied up for a the full version of Calimoto, but I found my first twisty road ride frustrating because of the amount of villages it took me through. Notwithstanding the fact that you seem to enjoy seeing these villages Richy, do you find the same thing? I want an "avoid villages" button! Calimoto says that villages should generally be avoided automatically but I'm not so sure.

[@RikkyTang]

@Andrew Sherif that's what I'm doing too (edited to add that the option I'm using now is "fastest route avoiding highways") and the funny thing is that the kind of faster twisty roads the app is giving me are the ones I was hoping to get with the default setting! 👍

[@stevebolton8471]

Small roads connect villages and farms mostly so it’s not always easy to avoid them. Same with towns. I have used Kurviger.de website for planning routes in the past (Android app too but i have iPhone). It is best at avoiding villages and towns. I think Calimoto does a good job too.

The big Honda is much better looking then the BMW. Unfortunately Honda quality ain’t what it used to be I brought a new CRF250RALLY last. Within three months the spoke rusted and most of the vinyls washed off. Honda replaced the spoke under warranty, the replacement spokes started rusting within a week, unfortunately Honda will not replace second set of spokes so I don’t think I will be replacing my triumph with another Honda.

Majority of the super twisty roads in Hampshire and Oxfordshire are single track, often with gravel or grass in the middle.
