Very good review! Congrats! As a HAT-AS owner, can tell you that at 1.83 m and the low position of the seat I do not get too well down. In my opinion: great bike, it feels a bit heavy, especially full tank (243 kg + 24 l)!

[@jfkdemocrat8465]

Best technical review of all the differences between the models.

[@rag98709]

Good informative review. Facts, not fluff. Merci.

[@yepyep27]

Great information! Best I’ve seen on these two. Your English is great!

[@BIKERMETOO]

Always...good..."real life" reviews !!!!!

[@ady-fly-online]

After more than a year: - I changed the sadle with a medium size; now is better! - off-road protection is insufficient: after a not too serious drop, the left motor cover was scraped! The only serious consequence! I changed OEM crash-bar with Heed Crash-bar!

[@Rdodo67]

Thank you, so much more information than a salesperson! This is actually truly helpful in making a decision. All the best.

[@willtaylor4282]

Top review mate, I have a DCT and wanted to know what the difference was and now I know the 16-17 is still a better bike for a short ass.

[@cameronhart415]

Great review ! even enjoyed the accent

[@OnroadDotBike]

😁

[@NorCalSaint]

Does the larger tank on the Adventure Sports push your knees out further? How tall are you? Great video, thank you...

[@akun2500]

Good information, thank you!

[@PragmaticTornado]

The traction control is adjusted independently on the 2018 models. That's why there is a separate traction control button on the left side of the handlebar. So if you put it on 1 or 2, it should stay at that setting even when switching riding modes. I don't understand why the gravel mode adjusts the power down though, since the engine only outputs 95bhp.

[@OnroadDotBike]

For us on off-road the best setup was what you saw in User: P1, EB1, T1or2, rear ABS of course OFF.

[@djalals.moharrer5510]

The best review so far and very understandable explanations👍👌👏🙏

[@krkr-ty8gg]

Hi. I'm thinking about Africa twin or ADV Sports. I often ride on seccondary road, twistes, one of the year some longer trip, light gravel, etc. No highways, No offroad. ( To really offroad I have KTM SXF ]:> ) I have 191cm and 105kg. The question is : Witch one will be better for everyday ridding ? Standard or ADV ? In your opinion ? Is really need to pay allmost 20% more for ADV ? Btw, great review :))

[@antogioia6838]

How do you prefer ? Standard or Adventure sports ? And also DCT or manual ? Very good review

[@MiguelCamposAfricaTwin]

Very good. Congratulations! New subscriber! ;)

[@TheMegamsp]

Nice video. Will you make a comparison between the Adventure Sports and the new Adventure Sports 1100? It would be nice.

[@brucekendall52]

Nicely covered,thk you.

[@justgjt]

Great review. Thanks for sharing . . . \m/

[@veteranstone3717]

Great review very informative

[@giannisgeorgiadis6083]

great video! i am 2.02 m. do you believe ATAS is right choice for me? or should i look for other adventure bikes?

[@davidbukovza6716]

The “T” is torque and not traction control, that’s why it’s on high when on gravel mode.

[@PragmaticTornado]

You're kind of right, as it is called the "Honda Selectable Torque Control", but it's just a fancy name for Hondas traction control. The lower the number, the more wheel spin it allows. I usually have mine on 2, which lets me slide it sideways on gravel roads (you have to really get on the throttle for it to interfere then). If you have it on 5 or 6, it's extremely intrusive; might be good if it rains down buckets.

[@OnroadDotBike]

The result is just the same. :-)

[@edwardkim1349]

good detail

[@anthonypugliese1]

Will the 2108 models hold the settings in the various drive modes after shutting down and restarting? My understanding is the early models have to be reset after every restart. Thanks

[@profi965]

En is most szeretnek venni egyett! Igaz en nem a DCT versiont akarom hanem a manualt.

[@khalifahvidal3959]

I’m 6ft will the adventure sport be to tall for me ?

[@awakeadventurer9198]

Adv bike w No cc option? Despite ride by wire now. 2019?

[@OnroadDotBike]

This is a Honda...

[@jeffgrainger827]

Hello, what brand are your sunglasses? They look like they would be very comfortable under a helmet

[@OnroadDotBike]

Flywear is the name, it's a Hungarian development. More info here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJbElnaunNWpmrM and here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp6cmGSufJipoqc on our channel.

[@oh7978]

Hi nice vídeo, thanks.. buy the AT ADV Sport.. please the sunglases model.. I need one..

[@OnroadDotBike]

We have some videos about that as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJbElnaunNWpmrM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp6cmGSufJipoqc I con only offer them, perfect!

[@deadcaptainjames6045]

Does anyone know if the seat is interchangeable from the AT to the Adventure AT?

[@johnsandlin7474]

They are not interchangeable

[@1Mcoach]

Why you kept base model next to the atas? Like decoration? As well, atas has higher screen and doesn’t mean better wind protection if you know that the seat is 5cm higher than on base model, right?! I appreciate your effort to present well, but you missed some basic information. Cheers :)

[@OnroadDotBike]

I spoke about the innovations of the 2018 models, which are all true for the basic one as well. The wind pritection is much better on the Adv Sports for the upper and the downer body as well. It's sure!

[@1Mcoach]

OnroadDotBike first of all check the subject of your video. Second, you didn’t say one word about basic model, just atas!

[@threven3]

Nice review... can you tell me please your height??

[@OnroadDotBike]

threven3 190cm, 6'3"

[@DRugfree1987]

Does the sport only come in dct, or does it come in manual too?

[@OnroadDotBike]

Sport modes are existing only in the DCT versions.

[@DRugfree1987]

OnroadDotBike bummer. That's like buying an automatic sports car

[@onroadvideo]

Or if you ment Adventure Sports, that's available with manual gearbox, too!

[@roland8163]

Which one is better for 190cm? Greetings from munic. Good Video 👍

[@OnroadDotBike]

The Adventure Sports.

[@Jalandus]

Thanks for that great review. Maybe would be easier to speak your hungarian mother language and use just English Subtitles. Köszönöm szépen eszt a szép bemutatot edig a legjobb amit latam youtubon...😉👍👍
