Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin QUICKSHIFTER & AKRAPOVIC [RAW Onboard]

Listen to the Africa Twin Akrapovic sound! Finally the new 1100 version made its way to my KZbin channel. Although it wasn't exactly a stock one ;)

Ohh the downshifts are so good.

[@Schaaf]

Indeed! I couldn't do it as well manually. But almost as well I guess ;) Thanks for the comment!!

[@dleebox2268]

Yep 😎

[@ig29]

@@Schaaf so the quickshift is a factory option? I thought it was only the dtc

[@Kaysersoza]

​​@@Schaaf hy, more sportly and speed CRF 1100, or KTM 790 ADVENTURE? I have seen your video of 790 adv and it was so speed.

[@timtaylor8338]

Does the manual version with quickshifter having a rev match? Thought only the DCT has this nice downshift sound.

[@bogdanm7873]

Those pops and bangs, such a treat :) thank you sir for the concert :)

[@Schaaf]

Very welcome!

[@tj_stylez3324]

Such a smooth sounding motorcycle👍😭

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@RidingTusCanY]

great road and amazing pace, the quickshifter adds fun to the ears, more than the DCT in my opinion

[@RidingTusCanY]

@ATftw i had the crf1000 DCT for 3 years, loved it but I prefer to have the clutch

[@Sandipan_Naskar]

Treat to my ears 😍

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@gokulkrishm51]

Hey Schaaf, I've been waiting for this since last year! Thank you!

[@Schaaf]

Welcome!

[@markwhitty4838]

I'm the proud owner of a 2018 AT, some beast of a bike, I love it! Great run again there Schaaf, enjoyed that so much that I'm off right now to do the same thing myself 😀

[@Schaaf]

Great plan! Thanks Mark!

[@siggismalls9558]

Ich hab schon so lange auf dieses Video gewartet! Danke Schaaf, hammer Typ🤙🏼

[@Schaaf]

Freut mich! Gern geschehen ;)

[@karljehle8553]

Hey Schaaf, Deine Videos "Onboard" sind einfach SUPER. Egal welches Bike du fährst, deine drehfreudige Gashand macht immer Laune

[@Schaaf]

Freut mich! Danke, Karl!

[@m.s.1029]

Großen Respekt für deine Arbeit! Die Tonaufnahmen sind einfach Welt! Da kommt momentan keiner drüber.

[@Schaaf]

Ich dank dir!

[@MotoMengy]

I love the sound of the AT. I rode an older one recently (a 2018 I think?) and I was surprised at how much FUN it was to ride! Partly because of the sound of that motor.

[@Schaaf]

yea it is amazing!

[@derluke9674]

I must say, Honda makes some of the best sounding motorcycles. Sounding, not to loud ornoisy, even the scooters. And the AT... i'm in love with mine 😍

[@Schaaf]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Rayenair]

That is really a nice sound 💪🏻🔥

[@jafo4u508]

That was fun to watch and listen to. Very relaxing.

[@sjcorona1940]

OoOohHh those downshifts are so crisp 👌🏽

[@abdelledba3988]

Good bike, good sound, good road, and good country

[@brucekendall52]

One of the best sounding bikes out there.Thanks.

[@Schaaf]

Welcome!

[@davidcasas3862]

Love the sound of this Twin, it remembers me my old and missed Yamaha TRX 850....good video Schaaf!!!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks David!

[@paw-rides]

Yamaha TRX 850 did make a beautiful soundtrack..

[@gryphongryph]

Wished Yamaha would bring that bike back in a modern package.

[@MrDarkwarrior29]

Die Africa Twin ist super, sowohl mit DCT als auch manuell mit Quick Shifter. Bin sie die Tage Probe gefahren und bin richtig angefixt. Schöne Strecke und gutes Tempo! Nice ride!

[@fiamun]

Winter, lock down and a bung arm. These vids are great to watch, ( especially with a beer!) looking forward to get out again. Thanks

[@Schaaf]

Stay strong mate!

[@vinitkhare4882]

Absolute beast of a bike, sheer pleasure

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Vinit

[@mavoriginals]

I crave of owning it one day. Not lying, I learned a lot of riding from your videos. And yes, I do read your lines.😉

[@simonthomas5367]

That quickshifter is fantastic! I picked up a 2018 AT Adventure Sports recently with a titanium Arrow system. Wow! What a symphony! And what a beautiful looking bike. Quickshifter is on my list...

[@Schaaf]

It sure is!

[@st-rufus]

Twist enough and a cool sound. Great vid!

[@Schaaf]

thanks Rufus!

[@DaveVincent0]

I tried the Africa Twin once in an Event recently, was the DCT option and i can say it actually is an eye opening experience that DCT was just fine and same fun...... hope i can own it one day

[@knatternatter]

Yeees! The Africa Twin again!! Love it!

[@Schaaf]

thanks man!

[@kaifkokni3517]

Bike sound plus your beautiful riding makes it really satisfying

Wow that exhaust note is just beautiful 🔥(planning to upgrade to the Africa twin from an interceptor 650) amazing video 👍🏼

Thanks

Interceptor is joke in the name of 650cc

[@rdspice2]

Thank you for posting. You have convinced me to get the quick shifter lol

[@Schaaf]

Nice!!

[@drywallman1986]

Omg I think I'm in love. I love the Enduro style bikes. I had two. Much prefer this over alternative. Gotta get one.

[@p.chakraborty4453]

Beautiful video, man this made my day ! Love these vids of yours man ! Btw schaaf , i used to race a 220hp race prepped R1 at the Virginia International Raceway, for 5 years , have sold it off to another racer before coming back to india, spent money in a house, and am now looking for a relaxed street riding, and enthusiastic riding, basically a veteran rider looking for a good street bike that can tour too, which bikes do you recommend for me ? Racing has caused my wrists to pain after a long time in the saddle, and due to much racing on my race prepped r1 , the doctor's also said that my back pain is due to that , I'm looking for a relaxed bike ( ergonomics ). Can you suggest?

[@JDzAlive]

I LOVE AKRAPOVIC EXHAUSTS!!!

[@adnanabdillahghifari720]

That's a nice adventure bike with a nice sounding

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@davt8615]

Love the AT effortless to ride on nice flowing roads like that! Sounds naughty with the quickshifter

[@Schaaf]

Thanks!

[@alpercetintas2632]

firstly this is an amazing cornering technique which gives you the joy of leaning safely with more vision and allowing any emergency reaction. I was taught this technique on an IAM advanced training. Then I started to enjoy curvy roads with my bike as never before! I can see that you are a professional rider, respect Sir! I could not help myself to watch every second of this video. By the way, AT synonym means horse in my language haha what a truth :D

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Alper

[@alpercetintas2632]

@@Schaaf Cheers, the engine sound is also epic.. may I have a chance to ask if it's possible to do such a video with a k1600gt?

[@theunheardprophet4315]

Sorry for the late reply but could you elaborate please? I don't see what amazing technique he uses - its one of those that get taught in driving schools around here, so seeing this is quite natural for me at least.

[@alpercetintas2632]

@TheUnheardProphet well I don't know where you live but the cornering technique I mean when you are curving to the right you position the bike on the left hand side of the lane to see further this is for example. I remember when I start riding I had no idea about this positioning and always doubting and overthhinking what was laying on and after the curve. Then I got trained about this positioning and afterwards, when curving with my crf250 rally, I had started to hear that the pegs were touching the road. This might be a little difference for you but was great knowledge for me. Wishing you safe rides..

[@theunheardprophet4315]

@@alpercetintas2632 ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying!

Was für ein Glück dass die Kiste umgeflogen ist und die Akra dran musste 😁 Könnte echt meine zweite werden, gefällt mir sehr gut, danke Schaaf 😉

[@Schaaf]

Danke, Tommy!!

[@Roddy_Zeh]

Sounds glorious! Funnily enough, I can hear some notes (specially at mid-to-high rpm's)...a hum if you will, that...for some reason, reminds me...a Porsche flat six. 🤯 Could be just the way the mic is capturing the sound, I don't know. But it's an absolutely pleasant sound.

[@Schaaf]

thanks Rodrigo!

[@EF.BE.I]

Something about the pipe design amplifies the 3 harmonic (or some shit)
