Tubeless tires could bring me back to the AT. The tubed tires were the only thing i disliked about my bike.

[@DaveDayve]

Tubless came to the standard this year 2024.🎉🎉

[@IKnowMoreThanGod]

Tubes are easier to replace in the middle of nowhere. I have no clue why guys like tubeless. You can tear a tire and replace a tube and keep going to get a tire. Blow a tubeless and youre done.

[@DaveDayve]

@@IKnowMoreThanGod even better with tubless, quick fix just plug it, carry a tube should u need one. 99 percent of punctures are solved with plug, can get a pinch flat with low pressures and tubes. Even when fitting a new tube. U can always use tubes on a tubless tire and rim. Not the other way around

[@dimitriskatsoulis4986]

​@@DaveDayveexactly!

[@panagiotisk75]

nice.... finaly someone talking about the "small" model.... nice job

[@Mrfish2015]

The small bigger model now 😂

[@erocnw1341]

Love it. Honda, please send this to the USA.

[@kevineverard4928]

It will be in the US by May 2024 . But we don’t get the ES in the base model only Adventure sports

[@TheZakkmylde]

@@kevineverard4928ya that sucks eh? I wish it came On base. I just got one and waiting till may in Canada.

[@sinaniseri6575]

Looking purposeful and attractive. Well done, Honda.

[@barryjmarling]

Gotta love the 21inch wheel proper Frika win. Great review Mr Fish.

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks

[@warrenr4]

Thanks for this video. Your enthusiasm is brilliant. I’m a Honda fanboy been riding them for 40+ years. Reliability awesome. Last summer I took my 2019 CB500X on a three month tour of Europe, mostly wild camping around Scandinavia. I did 13,000 miles and all the bike needed was oil changes and tyres. If I wasn’t so old and short the AT would be right up my street. Thumbs up and I’ve subbed, look forward to your future vids ✌🏻🙂

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks for the sub .. the 500 is an awesome bike

[@MFCHRIS75]

Thanks for this. I'm glad to see a review of the base motorcycle, albeit with the electronic suspension. Well done as always.

[@Mrfish2015]

Glad you liked it!

[@windinthewillows6248]

And finally Honda fit tubeless wheels to the standard bike. 👍👍👍 Now I’ve just got to save a few more pennies for a manual ES. 😉

[@nikos-giorgos]

It took Honda just 8 years to make it happen.

[@johngittins6244]

I have the electronic suspension on my ATAS. It’s great, it can be firm for twisties and set it as a bit more soggy for a comfy long distance touring ride. Love it 👍.

[@superratel7657]

Glad to finally see a review of this new 'Frica Win. Thx !

[@WheelieGoodTV]

Really great insight that was. Super off roading section as well, not something most of us would do on a demo bike so fair play to you. I’m very excited about this bike but probably the DCT version. Defo thinking of moving my GS on now. Thanks for the vid mate. 🙏👌🎥

[@Mrfish2015]

Coming over from the dark side 😂..

[@Roadrash.750]

I had the previous 1100l and ordered this as soon as it was released. Getting the ES version was the best decision. I’ve had many bikes with ES and this one is so different in each mode. The extra kick at 5k is also fantastic.

[@Mrfish2015]

Great to hear!

[@jubjub216]

I want one! Honda please release the 24 model to the US!!!

[@CCooke-nm2be]

Brilliant, your knocking it out of the park with your reviews 👍

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks 👍 appreciate that

[@MrSuperdoop]

Nice 1 mr fish bought a 21 plate DCT on your recommendation but hew model with quickshifter could be the new one ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@AdyRider]

A good review thank you 😊 As you say that could be an expensive test. Maybe it is time Honda U.K. rewarded you with a long term test bike…

[@Mrfish2015]

Ha ha , that would be nice … I don’t think I’m fashionable enough 😆

[@125ZJK]

I've been waiting for your review specifically :)

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks

[@easyfromtnbtw3555]

I got the new 24 Transalp and I really like it but I’d like to ride the new AT

[@Mrfish2015]

The transalp is excellent

[@robfearonphotographyhillwa9583]

Mr Fish love the video I had the 2024 Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT ES delivered Very late December the now 19" front wheel is different, like yourself this is my 3rd Bike, but Im so in love with it, its amazing, if you want to do a swap and review feel free lol cheers love your content mate.

[@gibson2623]

The adventure sports has 19" rim at front :)

[@daveroe1418]

Great video thanks. Thinking of getting one 😊

[@Mrfish2015]

Glad it was helpful!

[@HippoDrones]

Cor... that was quite a pucker moment along Wolvens in the wet sand! 😀

[@Mrfish2015]

It was a bit sludgy on road tyres 😂

[@HippoDrones]

😀@@Mrfish2015

[@keithsbitsandpieces]

Oh dear , I saw the front end go .. Even my bum had a clench from here ...😂😂 I think they have redesigned the throttle bodies to get the extra torque Brilliant video once again.. 45 miles and off road 😊

[@Mrfish2015]

Ha ha , street tyres and sludge a good combo

[@wojtekhaj]

try to change on your black widow rear shock for hyperpro....did on mine and changed the bike 200% 2h of work and a tool for spring compression but well worth it

[@Mrfish2015]

Better than the electric ?

[@wojtekhaj]

@@Mrfish2015 never ridden an electric one but can compare stock and updated since it is a progressive and thicker spring. When doing maintenance on forks will change springs as well. Don't have the need for electronic (one more electronic component that may be pricey to fix and maintain) since i have it tuned for my liking and not going to go heavy off-road and street on street-oriented tires (would need a second wheel set). Not sure if spring can be changed on electronic one without messing it up as afterwards is needed to re-adjust compression and rebound. Keep it simple and have fun.

[@hillkiran]

I have the ATAS, i,want the new one, I’ll have to downgrade to the non Adventure Sports, because I need that 21” front wheel, I like the technical stuff. I am gonna have to figure out where to put the extra gas. I live in the southwest of the US, a tru adventure can be a long distance between gas stations

[@Mrfish2015]

Have to take a fuel bladder lol , easier off road is the trade

[@hillkiran]

Is electronic suspension better for offroad? Or not as good?@@Mrfish2015

[@tsh7090]

Great video! Thank you. 👍 When you came up to the stop sign and stalled it, I laughed right along *with* you. I've done the same thing, thinking I was rolling up in Neutral. lol Question: If your current ATAS had electronic suspension, would you still trade it in for the '24 standard with ES & DCT? Or would you only consider the '24 Adventure Sport as enough upgrade for you to make the switch? Thanks again.

[@Mrfish2015]

I’m not even considering the new 24 AS 19” front wheel is not for me on an Africa twin

[@Ash12530]

Seriously considering this new AT as my next bike. Currently riding a 2023 T7, which I still absolutely enjoy riding after 12 months of ownership.. but this new AT is at the top of my list come PX time! 🙌🏻 I went back to basics with my current T7 - from having a Tracer-9 GT before that, with all those various bells and whistles fitted to that like this Honda, but I really miss not having the cruise control!..(and tubeless wheels) Just one question for you, are you sure the different riding modes limit the actual power of the engine?? Or do they merely just give you a less/more sharp throttle response? Good review btw 👍🏻

[@LoneAmigo17]

nice one fish cracking bike 😊

[@benkelly2190]

Great vid mate. I had one for the weekend! Never a fan before! By fuk! I am now might be my next bike! Not sure you got the wright right tho? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@snupermoto723]

Ducati 750ss, nice looking bike

[@Mrfish2015]

It was a great bike

[@bikersquest]

I'm surprised they didn't chuck the e-clutch in for the manual model

[@Mrfish2015]

Be interesting to ride a bike with it

[@birybenjamin3522]

Its marvelous

[@keithsbitsandpieces]

Tubeless tyres too 😊

[@Mrfish2015]

Yes 😁

[@hatibudak3511]

Sorry for my language. But its a fucking beautiful bike. Pity this manual version with ES not available in my country, Malaysia. I might getting the 'recond' unit from UK from my local import bike companies here in Malaysia.

[@snupermoto723]

Gorgeous bike

[@Mrfish2015]

It sure is!

[@kennyb7883]

Is it ever sunny there? where ever you are

[@Mrfish2015]

Rarely

[@gsd32i]

I think Honda have nailed it with this one. Looks very sexy. No after the dirt video of the AT...shocking 😂

[@Mrfish2015]

A bit dirty lol

[@DaveDayve]

Did you give it the beans on the motor way? Hope u had time to.

[@Mrfish2015]

No , but can’t see it being a problem at motorway speeds , my 3 have never suffered 😆

[@DaveDayve]

@@Mrfish2015 that bike would never suffer on a motorway 😁 if anything I guess the torque would make it even Better.

[@gerokatseros]

if you had to choose between ES or DCT because getting both is too expensive, which option would you choose?

[@Mrfish2015]

If you get DCT yo have to get es … but if I could choose I’d go DCT

[@gerokatseros]

@@Mrfish2015 Thank you sir for the quick reply , in my country i can get the dct without the es. (for the base model)

[@coolhandchunk]

As a bigger fella, how do you like the standard suspension (non ES)? Is it too soft for road use and 2-up riding?

[@Mrfish2015]

I never ride 2 up , I’ve ridden with full luggage and upped the preload and found no problems

[@AT2021Rocker]

I love my ATAS!

[@kevinf-b5065]

What would the price of a DCT/ES version be in that basic spec? Only if you know of course. Is it top heavy (as my Crosstourer DCT Highlander was) That's why I traded down to an NC750x at Doble's (after watching your review in 2021).

[@Mrfish2015]

Check it the link , it gives prices there (you can configure too) I didn’t like the crosstourer so I would say this is miles better

[@gerokatseros]

I am between this and the new Stelvio ... i don't know which one to choose.

[@Mrfish2015]

A nice problem to have

[@gerokatseros]

May i ask? The ES configures the suspension as you would by rotating the nobs and screws manually prior riding. Does it also set your suspensions WHILE riding depending on your speed and the quality of the road? Is there a dynamic action while riding the motorcycle in order to improve handling?

[@Mrfish2015]

It adjusts while you ride depending on settings

[@verktools731]

Its a fantastic bike, but i was hoping for a bigger engine «update». Maybe in a 2-3 years?

[@Mrfish2015]

Doesn’t need it .. maybe for the road but not off

[@paulchambers2296]

Great video thanks. You mention you have Trailmax Raids on your AT, how do you find them for noise?

[@Mrfish2015]

A bit buzzy at 40mph but not too bad

[@eriklarsson3528]

Awesome review👍

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks! 👍

[@EDP1]

hi .strange does the 2024 model have a golden steering bar and golden rims ? 19 inch front wheel ?

[@Mrfish2015]

This is not the adventure sport model .. this is a 21” front

[@hillkiran]

You absolutely have to turn the traction control off in the deep sand!

[@Mrfish2015]

100%

[@rlw85]

I do like the bike but I’ve never understood why there’s a tft and a lcd screen

[@peterruff9845]

Need to see vital info whilst the main tft is showing navigation from your phone.. CarPlay.

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

yes, when you use the TFT for navigation or other android auto the lcd is very handy.

[@Mrfish2015]

What the others said ,car play and android auto use

[@MadDog-65]

Really can't understand why people get hung up on the tubeless Tyre thing I've been riding 37 years and never once have I had any issues regarding a tube bike over a tubeless bike. To be fair I'd rather a tube to a tubeless off rd. personal preference I guess most people who buy this bike will never use it as it was intended anyway.

[@Mrfish2015]

Having changed a tube in the pissing rain at the side of a track I prefer plug and play and carry a tube just in case … these big bike tyres sidewalls are hard to get off on a machine 😂

[@JustTheHighlights]

Any way to turn off the indicator running lights off entirely so that they only activate when I signal for a turn?

[@Mrfish2015]

No , but why would you ?

[@JustTheHighlights]

@@Mrfish2015 Oh that's a shame. I find it very strange that *turn signals* would be on when I'm not turning or indicating a hazard. Doesn't make sense to me.

[@IKnowMoreThanGod]

Wait.....yours is a manual with Electronic suspension?? HOW???

[@kevineverard4928]

Standard Africa Twin comes with ES and manual. If you get the DCT then you have to get ES as well. In America the standard Africa Twin isn’t available with ES :(

[@Adventure_blac]

I hate to hear that the electronic suspension makes it better. I have to spend the extra money now. It it ever comes to the US

[@Mrfish2015]

😂 sorry

[@rexvaughn986]

Great video. Does the new suspension lower/soften at stops?

[@Mrfish2015]

No .. hopefully it never will 😂

[@neo1234SC]

Wish HONDA would send non DCT into USA!

[@Adventure_blac]

Listed stock weight 233/513 lbs

[@TheZakkmylde]

Do you think that windscreen is tall enough for someone? That’s 6 foot?

[@Mrfish2015]

Depends on how long your body is .. but an extender may remedy it if it’s not

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Whats an Afrciatwin 🙂

[@Mrfish2015]

lol .. I’m glad someone noticed 😂

[@thomasdoe6768]

I was very keen to buy the AT. The Problem is the maintenance. 800€ if you don´t need to adjust the valves, only check and around 1100 € with adjustment. That is a big nope for me. What a fucking joke. Shame on you, Honda.

[@markgiles8527]

I really wish bike manufacturers would start offering bike in more plain colours. I mean, these colours. Where are we, still in the 80’s?

[@Mrfish2015]

Lol , wrap it
