Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin QUICKSHIFTER & AKRAPOVIC [RAW Onboard]

[@bbdoook]

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

[@Okke-j2n]

​​@@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!

[@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

[@tj_stylez3324]

Such a smooth sounding motorcycle👍😭

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@Sandipan_Naskar]

Treat to my ears 😍

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@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!

[@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!

[@gokulkrishm51]

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

[@Schaaf]

Welcome!

[@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!

[@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.

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!

[@ColoradoBigfoot]

Thx For the video! I bought a 2021 xr 650 to film with. The 2023 1100 next summer. I can not wait!

congrats!

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!

[@mermerac]

Welcome to Croatia Schaaf. 🤟🏻

[@Schaaf]

thanks man!!

[@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!

this downshift with these little pops sounds so good

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@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)

I had 2 2016 DCTs , expecting my 2023 new 1100 Adventure sport manual! Lets see how manual performs but the stock exhaust is awesome unlike for the CRF1000. Quickshifter is on the list

[@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?

Merci, it's with the valve

[@joseteijeiro6601]

What to say about that bike. The question is: who doesn't like it. I like it for so many reasons. Not bad sound but is not as good as the triumph. The last one you released. And the grip here seems much better than the last one. This bike seems more suitable for slippery conditions. Can you imagine here with the Triumph? Burning its wheels. Best regards.

[@Schaaf]

The triumph would work fine but obviously a 4000 euro Öhlins suspension works better than the Standard triumph one

[@miiichael0815]

Oh man, what a nice sound. What would be your choice, AfriaTwin or Tenere 700? 🤩 DCT or Quickshifter?

Yes it was on fast. Unfortunately "fast" is not really fast on the AT

[@84uziel]

@@Schaaf yes it's true, it's not very fast but despite coming from the DCT, using it mainly in sequential I'm having a lot of fun, the only flaw is that sometimes it doesn't take 6th gear, maybe I'm wrong in shifting too soon.

Stock exhaust on mine but quickshifter is great fun. Works best on upshift at higher revs and throttle pinned. Downshifting, at high overrun revs for smooth changes. Just wish it had a few more horses - crf1250 anyone?!!
