Is the Honda Africa Twin Good for Long Distance Highway Touring?

Fantastic - great, very informative review. Thank you very much. I'm looking at getting a new AT with DCT so I've watched ALL the KZbin vids HOWEVER always better to get a LOCAL perspective on Aussie roads. I like your style and explanations. Interesting re the quickshifter. I'm very happy you love it but after test rides and much contemplation I think the DCT with be the version I buy. Interestingly, there are strong rumours of a supercharger on the '25 model so that will be something to watch for before I pull the trigger. I have a 1200 Multistrada right now and while it would outrun the AT at top end, it is a pig in traffic - very agricultural, so the Honda with the low rev accomplished pull and smoothness will outshine thew Ducati easily. PLUS who can argue with Honda quality and reliability which have,very sadly, been missing on the MUCH more expensive Euro pretender. Thanks again heaps for the vid and cheers from Sydney.

Hey. Thanks for the feedback. It has been a great bike and more than enough power in my view. I think it’s probably one of the best all-rounders on the market. And very reliable. Yes it’s no rocket compared to the multi. Interesting about a possible supercharged version. Keep riding safely mate. Take care. Trav

Oh and I agree that a DCT version would be awesome. I never got to ride one but everyone I’ve spoken to about it are very happy. Good luck.
