Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin On and Off Road Test

[@kuri911]

Hi Crumble. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for introducing me to the Sleaford Mods. Heard that tune at the end of your video and the next thing you know, I'm buying all their LP's. Love it!. Cheers mate!

[@TheCrumble]

+Chr7s No worries dude! I've seen them live twice and they are class. They are touring later this year I think - go and see them!

[@ToobiwanOnroadi]

I like the way you roll on Lord Crumble. You've addressed the criteria most folk consider when looking at these big enduro's. And answered them well. Booyah on the 20k

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude-appreciate your support 👍🏻

[@R-K61]

Just got mine in Red, love it,130+miles so far and dropped it today, thankfully no damage. love your stuff.

[@TheCrumble]

Sorry to hear about the drop! Which side and any marks? Just fitted SW Motech crash bars-at £150 they are good value.

[@cagednm69]

+Richard Harwood bruh post some vids will ya?

[@CNDUK-q8r]

That wasn't the best Crumble ever, but it was still definitely worth watching and waiting for. Many thanks for making the Vids and doing what you do!!

[@TheCrumble]

Glad you thought it was just ok 😉

[@CNDUK-q8r]

Ha ha ha ha... ok I lied.

[@markrose2169]

Great job threading the needle on ya! That city traffic is the most intimidating part of riding for myself, you make it look easy!

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

I haven't been happy with anything Honda has been producing for years now, but this bike looks like they've finally done something right again. Great review!

[@TheCrumble]

I totally agree about Honda! Nothing grabbed me for years and I had a few in the past. Had a VFR750 and a Blackbird-both corking bikes!

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

The Crumble I wish they'd actually do the new VFR "right" for a change! Drop the weight a bit and get rid of that damn VTEC BS!

[@mancavemoto]

Great review, exactly what you need, no big long list of pointless numbers, just a proper view of what it's like to ride. Cheers (nice bit of Sleaford Mods too)

[@TheCrumble]

Views from the Man Cave Cheers mate-appreciate the comment 👍🏻

[@Bimble]

Really is a lovely bike mate. Happy travels together. Thinking of putting TKC80s on my DRZ. Good to see you back on screen dude, you were missed. & big congrats on 20K!

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks matey! Impressed with these tyres as I'm sure you will be.

[@thepaperkings]

I’ve seen 30 reviews of this bike - this is awesome! Nice one bro!

[@codrutlazaroiu5151]

probably the best and most complete review on youtube. thank you m8!

[@seanyboy1666]

That bike that you go past at 6.55 is me. I thought that it might have been you, cracking vid as always.

[@TheCrumble]

Was it a Speed or a Street? Was that the one on the Southwell road?

[@seanyboy1666]

It's the street, and yeah on the Southwell road

[@natjones4833]

Hey, Crumble! Good to see you back. Not watched it yet, I will save it until tomorrow.

[@TheCcponyboy]

Happy Crumb!e. AT seems a more realistic option than others. Even Red Rum and Dobbin approved. What next added. Folding foot pegs, luggage for a tour or bigger bash plate.Glad the Crumble is back. Thank you for the editing.

[@TheCrumble]

Thank you for the comment! Not sure next maybe Arrow downpipes and a screen? Dunno but a company have been in touch who want me to test some stuff so we'll see.

[@cagednm69]

+The Crumble Rally Raid? Touratech? Who Who?

[@alt9874]

Crumble, I don't know how you can put up with that city traffic. Filtering is the only way to go, if I was stuck in a car in that, everyday, I think I'd move. Keep up the vids, it helps me get though the Canadian winter until I can ride my Africa Twin.

[@birdoneword]

Impressed by the filtering skills dude.....oh god. You know when you watch too much KZbin when you start praising people for filtering. Anyway keeps the vids coming.

[@TheCrumble]

Haha yeah but we bikers know what's going on though!

[@AndyManCam]

Yep. Thanks you sod. Another thing i desperately want that i just can't have! Very nicely done Crumble.

[@TheCrumble]

+Andy Man Cam Anytime Mr Andy! Anytime you're in the UK come and have go just to make things worse ;)

[@mutt9634]

Great vid, the bike looks a lot of fun and a good all rounder. Nice additions too, heated grips are the way forward but not at dealer prices!! Looking forward to the next post

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks man! Love Oxford heated grips!

[@Nickillik]

Cool review, I'd love one of these, thanks again for putting me on to Sleaford Mods too!

[@TheCrumble]

No worries dude! Go see the Mods live if you can!

[@epaminondasmouhanis8661]

Got the same one and love mine, great review. love the lane splitting section of your video, wish it was legal in the states.

[@MysDee89]

Africa Twin is a gorgeous bike. I fell completely in love with it before Honda release it. Months of waiting, looking at articles and alsorts about this remake of a classic. Then Motorcycle Live and I finally got to see it in the flesh! Stunning. I love the black one. Not many seem to like it but I think the black one just looks so....mean and evil lol. A devil on the road. Excellent review Crumble and fantastic riding! X

[@TheCrumble]

Hello you! Welcome back - thought you'd abandoned me ;) Yeah they look lovely. When I first saw the white one at Motorcycle Live I kind of knew I had to have one!!

[@MysDee89]

+The Crumble NEVER! I'm a die-hard fan!!! Now you have the Africa Twin it makes me want to watch more. Love you Crumble!!!! Keep the good stuff CUMIN xxx

[@blupditz9826]

Good to have you back Crumble. But now I've got that song stuck in my head ya bugger.

[@TheCrumble]

It's a nasty one to have stuck in your head too 😂

[@AdventuresWithMe00]

good review mate. Very informative to us Americans who are waiting.

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude 👍🏻

[@wilshirewarrior2783]

Axel stands are not available on the road when you are trying to service the chain or to pull a rear wheel off for that matter....worth the price imho.

[@nickcalnephone]

Essential for adv. I cant understand why people don't just pony up the cash.

[@Shedderby63]

Awesome, great song too! Cant wait to get one. It looks like a well built versatile bike that could be comfortable and also perform.

[@TheCrumble]

+Christian D Mueller yeah it is - it ticks a lot of boxes! Sleaford Mods are the band if you wanna hear more!

[@Shedderby63]

+The Crumble yep thanks for that, now were all hooked on the Sleaford Mods! Love em mate!

[@tgrey2555]

Enjoyed that, I’m an ex Honda Guy now got a few Triumphs and was going back to Tiger 800 for same thing you’ve shown here. Tested the dct and manual last week and found a nice used model heading to collect now. Be handy mate if could pop links for bits as I’m kind of thinking of same stuff, save you’re 6 footer hence risers I guess. What lid is that dude not ever owned an adventure lid I’m a shoei head mind. Do an update mate so,time, I’ll run the stock tyres for a bit as it’s going to be road use for a bit. Happy riding, careful on that commute chap that’s a fare lick you had on..lol

[@Miguelito0oO]

Great review Crumble!!🔝 Cheers mate🍻

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks bro!

[@Dracati]

Those horses didn't give a sh*t, but I liked it, lol !!! Really enjoyed the edit, w/the added clips and POV's, including the fine filtering son ;) Great add-ons/upgrades to Ur worthy beast, too !!!

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude! Took a while but I was happy with it in the end 😊

[@brennigjones]

Nice to see this. I did wonder how the AT-AT would cope with the Nottingham Ring Road, but she's looking surprisingly nimble. (I think I've been stuck behind that L-plater too).

[@TheCrumble]

Yeah she holds her weight well...unlike the Mrs 😂

[@metalheadvlogs]

Excellent review Mr Crumble, can't wait to see more from you :-)

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude 👍🏻

[@Martin-zs2dt]

Good video, looks nice and sounds great now, nice youtube meet up at the end.

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude!!

[@treebandido2447]

nice bike there crumble. properly rinsed Nottingham, top lad. 😎

[@actstuntcam]

Cheers, good to know how it goes through corners. It's the only thing I really care about and most reviews don't mention it. Be good to know how hard it could be pushed on aggressive road tyres.

[@TheUniqueKTM]

Yes! Finally a video! Could you try upload more? Pretty please

[@TheCrumble]

I will try just for you dude x

[@cagednm69]

The Africa Twin is probably the first ADV bike that's bringing a lot more sport/cruiser bike oriented people into the ADV world. 4 years ago if You'd ask me to buy a motorcycle, I wouldn't have given any of the ADV bikes a second look even though I'm aware of the XR750 AT's history at the Paris-Dakar rally. Might get a used 2016 AT down the years and plan a round the world trip, or atleast a Pan Eurasian tour on them with the luggage boxes. Also helps that the 270 crank makes the parallel twin sound somewhere between that of a triple and a v-twin.

[@TheCrumble]

YeH I totally agree! The look and the price make it more appealing I think. You can have a lot of fun on these and they really do do everything!

[@calmoto9073]

Dude, that's a super video. I enjoyed the shit out it! I hope you get some footage from the private off road lesson. I hope to see some of that.

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks Cal for the great comment! Always makes a difference getting good feedback from others I respect 👍🏻

[@gabecash22]

Really nice duude. I am here in process of choosing. I migth get a big trail in the next year. at least thats what Im holping for. This one of the bikes on my list. But i gatta say, the last one. Let me explain. The twin is the one i most want, but in Brasil, it will get here in the next trimester, it will cost as much as a BMW ADV. Not AS much, BUT PRETTY PRETTY CLOSE. So , considering both of them stock, the BMW delivers a lot more for the money. I wont describe the optionals here, couse i bet you already know. And i would say that now, the first one in my list is de super tenere. Much chiper than the Honda, gives a lot more, in terms of accessories and i find that it has an amazing looks. But, i've got time. Still folowing your videos. Keep them on cousa missa like it. See ya Keep up the good work. Ride safe. PS:Sorry about possibles misspelings.

[@BJK1987AU]

How do the TKC80 tyres go for everyday riding. Ive got T63 knobbies on my KLR650 and im weary of them on wet roads but seem to be alright in the dry. Need go decide what will go on my AT when it finally gets delivered.

[@TheCrumble]

They have been great to be fair! I commute on them and even in the wet I haven't had a moment. Having traction control makes you feel better about them too though.

[@9999plato]

I wonder if anyone will buy a second set of rims for some street biased tires and keep the knobbies for the weekend? That bike is definitely on my short list.

[@TheCrumble]

Would love to do that-bloody expensive though!

[@pau4carpakavn759]

isnt underpowered related to power to weight ratio?

[@Ps5GamerUk]

Knobbly tires look badass if nothing else, surely there's aftermarket taller screens available?

[@TheCrumble]

Yeah there are but they look a bit shit I think.

[@cagednm69]

+The Crumble Honda has a taller screen as an accessory, but aftermarket screens are cost effective me thinks.

[@hudsonrilke]

Always enjoy your vids. The bike's doing everything you need, good purchase. What's that song near the end? Okay found it.

[@TheCrumble]

+hudsonrilke Thanks dude! Hope you enjoy some more Sleaford Mods!

[@crotchrocket3000]

What a machine! The lower power doesn't matter with knobbly tyres I can't put the power down it just spins up!

[@TheCrumble]

How are you finding the Michelins? The TKC rear is not gonna last long.

[@Rocketfrog4755]

Brilliant Mr.C !!!

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks man!!

[@xl1200s2002]

Which manufacturer uses a tire?

[@ninja2kernow]

You need to come to cornwall for a true adventure on it .

[@TheCrumble]

Are there plenty of decent lanes down there?

[@ninja2kernow]

We got everything ,check out some of my posts ,vfr offroad for eg,

[@gianlucarovai]

compliments, nice video! can I know the model name of the protections for hull and engine and links to buy them, thanks and congratulations for the shoei helmet is beautiful.

[@TheCrumble]

+gianlucarov1 Hey dude here's the link to the crash bars: shop.sw-motech.com/cgi-bin/cosmoshop/lshop.cgi?action=showdetail&wkid=145946009819503&ls=en&nc=1459460146-20490&rubnum=brands.honda.crf1000l&artnum=SBL.01.622.10001/B&id=71&gesamt_zeilen=50Tshowrub--brands.honda.crf1000l&typid=208785589

[@R1doorbar]

Adventure bikes for commuting. It's the future! Recently started a new job at JLR. Got a Tiger 800 XR for the commute from Stafford to Coventry. There's no way I could do that every day without a bike. And even though I have the XR it does have limited off road ability.

[@TheCrumble]

They are perfect for it because of the riding position and the view you get over the top of cars. Fuelling and not too much power helps too! Love the Tiger 800-loved my time with mine.

[@jaykay643]

All the reviews for this bike have one important thing in common. It's fun to ride on and off road...the ultimate dual purpose bike. What more can you ask for...I want one.

[@djdeano27]

Where is Dav?

[@SanFranciscoRiderr]

i enjoyed this video, very well put together. I am considering upgrading my Vstrom to a bigger adventure ride, and considering the Africa Twin. Wanna primarily do California HIgh Speed Freeway riding, i also subscribed to your channel, SFR

[@Neiljitsu]

is comparable to a gs on road?

[@DavidMcBride-n5n]

Please come back lord crumble , KZbin is getting weird , we need your normal 🙃

[@daveharrison1028]

Good job Crumble, cheers :)

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude!

[@andrewbeech2199]

Picking mine up next Saturday , and you Sir just answered all my questions ! Gonna be commuting along mainly country lanes every day , got the crf 250 now with mods and its a real blast! I see you got those risers though , I`m 6"6" , would you recommend those risers...? Great film , one of the best !

[@TheCrumble]

+Andrew Beech Yeah I would recommend the risers for you. I'm 6ft 4" and they are good. The SW Motech ones are well made and look good in black. This bike does all of those things you want very very well....enjoy!!

[@oasis11991]

OLLERTON/NEWARK BACK ROADS?

[@sthrallday]

Did you have to take off your gas tank when you wired your grips to the battery?

[@megalodan5684]

how much is a quid in us dollars

[@Kalimerakis]

for future tires check out heidenau k60, great 50:50 tire

[@TheCrumble]

Will do thanks dude!

[@Kalimerakis]

Welcome (Y)

[@stephenkada]

Good onya, Sonya! Love it

[@TheCrumble]

Cheers Steve!

[@ClaudeSac]

Your cunning plan is cunning indeed. Do you mind if I borrow that ... in various situations? BTW I like the combination of your filtering and the Tied up in Nottz by Sleaford Mods!

[@TheCrumble]

+ClaudeSac It's the perfect combination when you're stuck in traffic in Notts!

[@throatball]

Ordered a base model in black, selling the VFR800, the TT600 Motard, the TT600 Enduro, the XT500 cafe racer, the SR500 cafe racer and the XT500 farm bike. Want pipe and a set of road wheels. Gotta wait for the bike :(

[@TheCrumble]

+ChaosTVAfrica Good man! How long is the wait gonna be?

[@throatball]

+The Crumble A few weeks I'm told. Very slow in Cape Town but looking forward. My mate bought the silver one from the floor and went for a coastal ride, said his mind is blown. (his last bike was a 600F4 thought, lol) We got the roads here and I live at the beginning of the country side so the bike will live on knobblies once the stock tyres are smooth.

[@throatball]

+The Crumble Got my AT today. Lovely ride home through the country side. Best bike ever.

[@aaronlovett1925]

I know I don't have to tell you but when I had a dt 175 on knobley Tyre's it was great in the dry & no grip on wet roads but then again I am in Ireland and our roads are shit great bike I'm waiting on delivery of mine August😵

[@TheCrumble]

You're gonna love it matey! Especially on those roads 😂

[@danielalvarez9035]

Thanks! this vid help me to decide about this bike.

[@clanmac66]

2 satisfied customers at the end! ;-)

[@TheCrumble]

They were only interested in their bloody hay-greedy sods!

[@makdaddy999]

Hi mate, just wondering, the Oxford heated grips you had fitted, which ones are they? Adventure or Touring? I noticed they come at different lengths and want to fit some to my AT so want to order the right size. Cheers

[@TheCrumble]

I bought the Adventure ones. I did have to cut the throttle one down as it was too long. I think you might have to do this whichever ones you get. Great grips though and much better than the Honda ones.

[@makdaddy999]

+The Crumble Cheers for that 👍

[@veganinstinct2813]

The riding you did in this vid... you could also have done that on the Multistrada? Or not?

[@TheCrumble]

The Multistrada was brilliant at the fast A road stuff but no good off road and not an easy bike to ride in very slow or static traffic.

[@monkeyCmonkeyDoo]

I'm the same height as you and was wondering about the wind buffeting from the stock windscreen, is it excessive and have you tried a smaller screen? I had to go with a small fly screen on my FJ-09 because of the horrible wind buffeting.

[@mojostew]

great vids Sir Crumble question. .. at about 4500 to 5000rpm with constant steady throttle do you notice a different engine noise? I do on mine but not when accelerating or decelerating but only on a constant (no load) throttle condition.

[@TheCrumble]

+Stewy Mojo I must admit I haven't noticed. I do find the throttle a little too sensitive at slow speeds though?

[@mambomurphy]

Realised that I seemed to watch new crumble videos when I come in steaming drunk on a Saturday night.

[@TheCrumble]

Best way mate!

[@pauljordan6415]

whats the weight saving on that silencer?

[@pauljordan6415]

ah 3-4kg you say....

[@МихаилСтрогов-ш4ж]

Hey man! I have NC 750, do you think Africa will be as nimble as NC in city traffic? Does it have this feeling that it is lighter that it actually is?

[@TheCrumble]

+Михаил Строгов I think it feels light yeah. No idea on the NC thing though having never ridden one.

[@utvalgarve4870]

Awesome review!!! Thank for putting it out! Just wondering about passenger seat readability and comfort?!

[@TheCrumble]

+UTV Algarve The rider seat is hard enough and I don't think it's a bike for two up touring. Just my two cents...

[@urbanprowler]

Sounds good, what about some folding mirrors to help with the commute and also off-roading. I find mines easier to ride off-road when the mirrors are folded in. Also less to break 😜

[@TheCrumble]

Yeah not a bad idea. Mirrors only an issue with vans. Like the stock ones though.

[@Zeebad_1st]

I do love you shiney new helmet, does it come in purple and is it splash proof?

[@TheCrumble]

+Tim Lawrence Lookphoto yes it does!

[@jeeeeeeees]

I've seen videos where the africa twin seems strong and fast. not superbike 140 bhp fast, but still. I will try it myself this spring, but. any accel vids? any thoughts on how it feels 0-60 which is the most important place imo, but still, i've seen it accellerate pretty ok :)

[@TheCrumble]

It's ok - the torque is decent. If your looking for speed though as an important aspect of it look elsewhere. It's not really what the bike is about.

[@jeeeeeeees]

True. I want a bike of this type, Africa Twin or V Strom 1000 i think, but I'd be sad if I felt they were too slow and sluggy. I don't need an R1 accelleration, nor a "naked 1k" bike, but I'd be sad if i felt i was slow under and up to 60.

[@leeroy198923]

I fucking love your vids crumble.

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude-means a lot! 👍🏻

[@sthrallday]

nice. just got mine a couple of weeks ago. what you think of the oxford grips? and what type of gear do you use. im also 6' 4"-6'5" and slim. It can be difficult to find gear that fits properly.

[@TheCrumble]

sthrallday Oxford grips are bloody great! £50 and fitted them myself. I'm tall and slightly fat. I wear Alpinestars and Gericke gear - tends to be long enough in the bigger sizes. Great bike eh?!

[@sthrallday]

Thanks for the reply. I love the bike yeah its great! I've only rode it from the dealer to my house and once after that cause I live in Canada and its still chilly and snowy. Was -8 deg celsius when i rode it home from the dealership. Got quite a few looks thats for sure. lol Im really looking forward to summer. Did you have to remove the front fairing and gas tank to install the grips?

[@OffroadChannel]

Great video! Thanks for the explanation! I'm not even 30, but I'm think I'm getting into my midlife crisis as I never was a motorcycle fan, but now growing more and more into it. I started looking on how to get the license, and I am also looking for a bike that meets the three expectations (or 2/3) you want: good commuter and able to go off the beaten track (as my channel gives away, I'm quite the offroader). Woud the Africa Twin (second hand) be a good starter bike?

[@RichDunn]

Enjoyed the road section - it looks plenty fast enough; good to see, as mine hasn't arrived yet and I was slightly concerned. What tyres are you running - they look like Conti TK80's?

[@TheCrumble]

They are the TKC80s. Very impressed with them although the rear might be done by 2k which isn't much.

[@MattJones675GR9]

Back In your garage.. I wanna see hoover moover pt 2 :)

[@TheCrumble]

Back in Crumble's lair-it's been a while eh?!

[@MattJones675GR9]

Just a bit and do you still have the Ducati Spiderman ?

[@SkyRider365]

Mega lol at the end of the video. Cool bike indeed sir.

[@TheCrumble]

Thanks dude!

[@titansbike2150]

Thought I'd have a look to see if you've uploaded recently. Click on your channel. Video uploaded 4 seconds ago. Awesome!

[@TheCrumble]

That is perfect timing!

[@blackrainb0w]

I like the sw motech bars you fitted. Do they take up the fitting positions for adding extra bars further up the bike to protect the plastics and petrol tank? Great videos by the way.

[@TheCrumble]

Hi mate. No i don't think they do allow for fitting extra ones. The idea is that they protect both engine and fairings though. Thanks for the comment!

[@2010mahoney]

How many miles do you get out the tank? 200.....ish?

[@TheCrumble]

Yeah about 180 to the orange light and then there's about 30 miles left.

[@chello885]

Hi Crumble, good review. I'm thinking of getting an AT as there's some great deals at the moment. Did you ever try the dct version and if so why did you choose the manual. I'm looking at the manual as I'm worried about a disconnect with no clutch although I'll try them both. Thanks

[@TheCrumble]

chello885 yeah you should try both. The DCT didn't interest me to be honest. I want to be in control of the bike and the inability to blip the throttle when filtering is not good. Heard lots of stories of people blipping the throttle and dropping it at standstill too. Tried one and wasn't keen. Heavier too. But then you might love it so... Good luck - they are a great adventure bike 👍🏻

[@chello885]

The Crumble , thanks for the info. Like you I also blip the throttle on the downshift and not doing this would seem weird after years of doing it. My other concern would be the bike changing up through the gears too early when you want to accelerate quickly and hold the gear longer. Keep making the videos 👍

[@ripmax333]

what's your inseam? is it too tall of a bike?

[@TheCrumble]

ripmax333 I am a tall chap with a 34" inseam. Does have Lower seat settings and it is a narrow bike which helps

[@CraigWarden1]

Thanks for the review (and the Tune). Question, Did you compare it and review the 2015 Explorer XCA? just curious as I am looking into moving from the GS 1200 to the 2016 Explorer and was wonderin what you thought. Cheers, Craig

[@TheCrumble]

+Craig Warden I have tried the Explorer a couple of times and recently tried the big GS. The GS would be my preferred choice now I think, It carries its weight very well whereas the big Explorer feels very big (if you see what I mean). That triple engine is a peach though! The 2016 bike sounds very good though with all the new bells and whistles.

[@CraigWarden1]

Thanks. Keep it going. Love the Vlog and reviews. Cheers, Craig

[@zerothrough2hero]

i give it 3 months before you trade it for a MV 800 TURISMO VELOCE #just saying.. one cool machine you got mr crumble enjoy!

[@TheCrumble]

Nah that MV is too cool for me!!

[@cagednm69]

+zerothrough2hero MV's goin down.. they file for bankruptcy last week?

[@zerothrough2hero]

+cagednm69 so ive heard.. but to be fair they are backed by AMG so im sure they can pull some money out of someones arse to save them! be a shame to see go!

[@cagednm69]

zerothrough2hero no, AMG owns a very small % right now. The owner of the company negotiated with AMG and other manufacturers but HE doesn't want to give away his majority shares of the company as he wants to be the company's sole decision maker. This is why neither AMG nor other players want to invest money into it.

[@timescapes]

such a nice looking bike

[@TheCrumble]

[@billdrumming]

Great song

[@Tieniefraser]

I like your videos …..will get AT soon ……your video just tipped the scale !!!

[@TheCrumble]

+Tienie Fraser Good to hear - you won't regret it!

[@BimboNo6]

Hi Crumble, like your videos - subscribed a minute ago. I'm sure you can relate to this, how was it from coming from a 1200 cc / 150 bhp multistrada to a 95 bhp machine? I'm asking because I'm currently on a 990 Smt (116 bhp) and looking for a new bike. The 1190 adventure is awesome, but feels overwhelming due to its 150 bhp. I can't say that I'd ever be able to use those bhp's unless I'd be on the German motorway. In the end I want agility, comfort and fun. Does the AT do that for you?

[@TheCrumble]

Hi mate! I understand your fears! I always thought the Multi was too much engine for a big tall bike like that anyway. This bike is not slow and it's very agile for quite a heavy bike. It will feel a lot bigger and heavier than the SMT having sat on the KTM. It's a bike that does lots of things very well. Its not a powerhouse but off road and on back roads , where this bike is most at home, it's just the right amount of power. And it looks great!!

[@BimboNo6]

+The Crumble thanks!

[@PsychoPaul13]

A sensible review from Crumble ? .......Then BANG right at the end.....lol

[@TheCrumble]

+Psycho Paul The horses were the real stars of the vid!

[@PsychoPaul13]

I thought the one on the right had a little to much attitude..

[@dreamwhileyousleep]

You should lop an inch off each end of the bar for easier lane splitting! Holy crap that was sketch. How's it feel loaded down? I've read couple of reports that the bike feels loose and wallows.

[@TheCrumble]

I have just done a trip with the bike loaded up and thought it wasn't as capable as some others I've tried. I wouldn't recommend it as a two up touring bike.

[@mattrowe6394]

bad ass! but how long will the twin last before you trade it in for a new toy? ;) are you going to follow suit with a face reveal dude?

[@TheCrumble]
