Great video nick.its got your name on it.

[@nicksepisode]

Yes! Thank you!

[@andyscooter5753]

They are awesome. The seat has two height positions.

[@nicksepisode]

yes I thought that, how do you adjust it, i tried briefly looking but i couldn't figure it out, i assumed this particular one was on the lowest because I didn't struggle as such lol

[@ptilrem]

I was correct on FB. You really want one.😂 Can't wait to try one next weekend when Honda Roadshow comes to town. Probably will be the DCT-version.

[@nicksepisode]

Dude you have know me long enough now! Are you trying the 2024, from what i read the best just got better!! - do let me know how you get on :)

[@ptilrem]

@@nicksepisode I will probably post a post on my instagram about it anyway. Yes, it will be the 2024 version.

[@ZoahPorre]

It makes sense to me that cruise would be next to the throttle.. but to each their own lol.

[@nicksepisode]

My short finger's struggle lol

[@Argo-F-Ur-Sef]

Jodi, Nick should get one if he can justify using it for it's designed purposes. Personally overkill for roads and UK style green lanes. It's designed for long range dirt adventure.

[@nicksepisode]

It may encourage me to do such things lol

[@allroadbiker]

Best bike there is.

[@nicksepisode]

I can see why

[@johnking5932]

Almost as good as my NC then Nick... but seriously a good informative vid, if l win the premium bonds I'll treat myself to one,,,.👍

[@nicksepisode]

John, honestly, you have one of the best bikes in the world. the nc750x it's in its own league. i'd have one myself, but i dont need a bike that does it all right now and ive had an nc in the past. so im open to explore!

[@ZoahPorre]

19:09 We do have roundabouts, but they are pretty rare.

[@nicksepisode]

We have too many lol

[@ZoahPorre]

@@nicksepisode so do we. :P

[@michelod.i.y.5202]

Treatment yourself 😊

[@nicksepisode]

hows your bike going bud? ill get the AT and come visit wales!

[@michelod.i.y.5202]

@@nicksepisode recently did a 200 mile round trip after it was sat most of the winter in the shed. Started on the button and didn't miss a beat. Always welcome here anytime 😊

[@mondomoto953]

buy it you know you want it

[@nicksepisode]

yes, yes i do

[@simonchilli2088]

Maybe the previous owner has downsized to the new Trans Alp? Lower insurance costs etc.

[@nicksepisode]

Simon, you're amazing, I must try the transalp!!

[@simonchilli2088]

@@nicksepisode & then the Suzuki V-Strom which did better on the sands when Knox bloxe tried it up in Cumbria. I think the traction control on the Suzuki was better they concluded.

[@nicksepisode]

i did consider this, but i just dont have that connections with Suzuki as much as i do a Honda, the new vstrom looks a little odd and im not keen on the idea of a parallel twin that as the word V in its name! having said that, I should really try one before I throw judgment.

[@simonchilli2088]

@@nicksepisode Yeah, V has always been for the V twin. Progress tho!

[@volt8684]

What happened to o more u tube

[@nicksepisode]

did you watch the latest update? think you may have missed it, have a look at my previous videos :)

[@mariokuppers5686]

Shame Nick idk if any Todays Honda has even not the Indicators as the lowest on the left. Thanks to CJ Balls starting perverting you forever but guys give him the Rest organize him the Unbreakable Varadero ;). Centerstand is an Optional Extra i think it was here in Germany around 220€ without labour should be roughly the same in UK. BTW Nick are you filming with 30 or 60 Frames? Than lower it the Next time to 50 that reeduces the flickering. and the other way around if you are filming with 50. And dont even try to hide that you love the Queen of the Desert it´s another Ballpark than an overhyped GS. The only thing wich is nicer but only offroad is the Desert X but overall Package stays at Honda. Only for you another Pro Tip Scorpion ADX-2 is available in Honda Tricolour😉 Did i mentioned i made an Nick and was on bike hunt.... 6 long hours.... phoned a couple of times with an Honda Dealer over an it´s to 99% sold to another one... brought the money 2 days later and Drive it home tomorrow 😁

[@nicksepisode]

Mario, what did you buy! also I film in 30fps, I noticed the refresh on the screen is annoying, if I buy the bike ill address it, if not I wont cos the quality looks great lol

[@colvillebri196]

Of course you should buy one, I’d come riding with you

[@nicksepisode]

Fancy a trip to either Wales, Peak District, or Scotland?

[@colvillebri196]

It would be nice

[@Alan-cg8gx]

Swing arm's are a pivotal part of the bike. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nicksepisode]

quite literally!

[@nigelmorgan1824]

Hi Nick If you like the bike enough just treat yourself and then tell the wife.

[@nicksepisode]

Yes, Nigel, I’ve done this in the past and learnt the hard way LOL but then I did get what I want ha ha

[@markpercy4277]

Bit pricy bud but very nice 👍

it is, but if you lot like, comment and subscribe I may be able to afford it! haha

Nice bike Nick. Not for me but it certainly seems to suit you. You`ll be running out of bikes to review, at this rate.

never Dave! I have my sights on ALL of them! lol

[@tonywilliamson4512]

You should get it,you owe it to the channel, not only get it but don't tell jodie not until you take lt home with the camera running what a vlog that will make !!viewings will go through the floor as you probably will,but we won't dwell on that bit. Get it 😂

[@sandwaves5642]

It doesn't, only, look mean - drop it, and you'll FEEL the nastiness ( by getting a decent hernia ) ☝☝🤣.... Besides, spoked and TUBED wheels = 🤢🤢!! U are a capable mechanic. For YOUR type of traveling ( as I understand it ) You'd really be better off with a new NC750X, but not the auto ( auto MUST have the CC ) - install / upgrade to better forks / rear shock, and enjoy. You can save yourself a heart attack, hernia, money AND fuel ! THIS Africa is a nice looking bike, but it is, mostly 4 those who have the ADHD, or very tall individuals with allot of lifting power, and a real need for getting off-road 🤷‍♂ Well, I'm sure you are going to buy this bike, if you not already done it.... 😀 Honestly - A V-Strom 1050XT ( ~ 2021 ) far more comfy. U can get it cheaper, and they are not less reliable than Africas. A Guzzi V85TT ( can be serviced with fork and knife, unless u need to mess with the electronics ) - same story + looks 1000 times better than any Honda..... A NEW Aprilia Tuareg - costs same as this 2020 Africa.... And there's nothing to compare - Tuareg is better, looks better, has better electronics, more comfy.......If u can manage with ONLY ~ 80 Hp. PS - NICE key, but - isn't the key from the "Monkey" exactly the same ? Aren't they same on all Hondas 🏍🏍❓❓

[@nicksepisode]

You touch some great points, Mr Waves, and very well explained. Yes, the monkey key is the same lol

[@sandwaves5642]

@@nicksepisode You mean, you've, already bought the bike ⁉⁉🤣🤣

@sandwaves5642 no, im trying the transalp soon
