I glad that Honda never went for BMW's awful beak look.

[@GCTO239]

Agreed 🙏

[@cautilligab]

Ducati and suzuki exited the chat 😅😅

[@TheDaemon66]

Multistradas literally look like a bird.

[@cautilligab]

@@TheDaemon66 yes. They actually downsized the peak since the first model. The feedback was not good.

[@JoLXP]

Yassss! Fully agree!

[@2mpoida]

I never understand the marketing angle they take with these big bikes...huge power slides, wheelies, skids and revs and jumps. You can do all that on one but most people don't

[@terrystratford1235]

Most can't!! Also, the riders in those vids don't own the bike and don't have to worry about repairs! 😂

[@texlee1640]

Former AT owner and current GSA owner here. I agree that the AT is the best looking heavy weight adventure bike, but of course looks are subjective. IMHO these are the two best bikes in the segment but they hit in different ways. For the style of riding I do on a big bike the GSA is a better fit for me, at least at the moment. If I need to get more technical and aggressive off-road and require the use of a 21/18 wheel setup then I will be jumping on my KTM 500. For slabbing big miles on the highway with dirt and gravel roads throw in along the way the 19" front wheel is a better fit. While the AT is a great on road bike, it doesn't hold a candle to the GS/GSA in that department but that could change now with the 19" wheel on the AS model. I am not opposed to considering another AT in a few years when I am ready to trade out for a freshie especially since I am not really getting along with the looks of the new 1300 all that well.

[@Kubotahonda5]

NOTHING CAN BEATS THE AFRICA TWIN,

[@karljrgenmellem8896]

I have a multistrada 950 today. I love this bike! It can keep up with any bike in the corners. Only tree problems, offroad, 15 hp and fuel capasity. Will this new AT keep up with a multistrada?

[@rossshears6726]

A comment addition to my previous post on the model comparison . To me the perfect bike has yet to be invented and like a Crescent wrench , adjustable to the job but far from perfect . I have owned a large Adventure touring bike with a 19” front , hardened for the back country roads . A KTM SA-T but while it would get you to the gravel at warp speed , once there it was a front heavy ,big tank , long range fussy beast . It has been replaced with the AT AS manual which is so much better for the expressed purpose (see previous) with the 21 and 50:50 rubber . My long distance road runner is now a KTM SA-S outfitted for tarmac touring only . At the moment a complementary combination . Chose the destination , route , explore options and then the best tool (bike) to complete . My back yard is a very big interesting place to ride and discover . The AT is a great tool. I am the limiting factor in all situations . For me , I chose wisely . Now to fix that *##** throttle snatch ( any ideas out there ?) Cheers RS

[@africatwinman]

Had a cbr650r sold now I have a Africa twin dct 🎉❤❤❤❤ just fantastic

[@moomoodeadcow]

Personally I like the idea of DCT on an ADV because shifting with MX boots has never been as smooth for me as I do with street boots. (e.g. Dainese Torque 3) And I don't want to have to compromise to street boots or ADV boots.

[@robertcooper6910]

I was having the same problem with my GS and someone suggested lower pegs...installed Tourtech pegs that are 20mm lower and voila....problem solved...btw they're also wider so they're more comfortable

[@dougiequick1]

i can totally relate and problem multiplied if big feet to start with it is awful period if using high end mx boots which are much bigger than cheap boots that lack protections

[@husseinsaid9154]

In the Netherlands there is a DCT and a manual transmission

[@TheMalangMan]

Everyone is entitled to their choice . Those who like it , will buy it , those who don’t will find other options

[@Dushyant933]

Having DCT on a bike would feel so awkward for someone who's acquainted with manual clutch usage

[@V4zz33]

The Super Tenere will always be there for you...

[@PovilasPanavas]

The only problem is that you cannot get DCT basic model without electronic suspension. Thus it's super annoying because it suddenly becomes crazy expensive. I do love DCT, just did my first trip ever on DCT through Europe for 30 days. I doubt I'll ever want anything but DCT. I'm actually in need of a bike, but Transalp doesn't have DCT option, and AT is just too big, too heavy and too expensive (because you can't get basic version with JUST DCT).

[@dubiousricardo]

Been watching the AT. Everyone saying 19" front wheel, BUT Honda websites UK still only show the 2024 AT with a 21"!! ????

[@paulvandervyver4223]

I have to agree, the AT is the best looking ADV available with the Triumph Tiger Rally Pro and Ducati Desert X a close second. The GS 1200/1250/1300 have been using the boxer engine for the last 100 years. Common Bavaria, give us something totally new

[@lukefish7562]

Nice Bob! Thanks! The AT looks awesome and better than the GS. Only bike that looks better is my Norden 901 Expedition IMO. 😁 But when I think and picture a ADV bike it’s an AT. Nice work as always Bob. 👏🏽

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

GS Has a LOT more power and shaft drive and costs almost the same.

[@chirag4]

fantastic video Bob, ... after the Africa Twin, ... 'Look-wise" & otherwise, ... you like Ducati Desert-X (937cc V2) more, or the BMW R1300GS (boxer) ? i don't like the Tiger 1200 or 900

[@chirag4]

also don't like 1250 Pan-America, 1290 Super-Adventure, 1158cc Multistrada V4

[@Roberta_Esposito]

2:44 calling bs on “ LAG” There’s absolutely no way you’ve ever ridden a DCT . ✌🏻

[@yavuzt9341]

I wonder that can you try between 50-70 kmh withour hands and handle bar shaking or not again as old version?If you can test that it will be my pleasure..Because It is cronicle problem. I had 2020 ATAS and my friend has 2021 ATAS,also I have new 2023 ATAS and problem is same.. Between 50-70 kmh handle bar shaking even I tested after my new 2023 ATAS after getting from Honda Shop again same problem with 0 km new for ATAS.. It is cronicle problem for whole CRF1100L AT.. It is not related tyre or balance or top case etc..Unfortunately Honda is not doing anythingelse about the problem..

[@hondavaradero9009]

So honda is also going to stop the NT 1100 production? what's the point after the changes on the adventure model?

[@Brad-RB]

Honda US website still has the 2022 models. The US is a market that Honda does not care about.

[@FrancoisTX1974]

And during this time, the only AT available in US are 2021 and 2022 only….come on Honda, you loose so much customers…no bikes available for months even years now….

[@stevesanelli90]

Sorry MB, I’d go the GS any day and every day.

[@reggiep893]

Honda UK website shows lowest seat height at 825mm. How did you get to 795mm?

[@andyh9068]

The adventure sports has the lower seat option of 795mm where as the standard is still 825mm

[@reggiep893]

Great stuff, thanks. I’ll take a look.

[@CharacterDev77]

This bike is no where in the USA

[@ogasi1798]

how to hand sales to competitors by Honda 😝

[@ΧρήστοςΛύτρας-μ3η]

RADARS ON BIKES are f***ing USELESS

[@max30888]

By fixing a tubeless wheels to the standard Honda Africa twin it becomes almost perfect in every aspect..

[@nickb3968]

DCT is probably annoying people with very good clutch skills when off road riding....I found the same annoyance with quick-shifters on road. You have to "re-learn" something you've been doing for decades to accommodate the new tech. It's annoying as heck. I found when rev matching on the road and using friction zone at low speeds(think squirting out of low speed corners) that quick shifters sometimes interfere with that process.... In fact, at a Suzuki demo day I found myself gravitating back towards non-quick-shifting optioned bikes.

[@richardkeeley6927]

I have a quick shifter on my Norden 901 and I just don't get why it's needed.

[@nickb3968]

@@richardkeeley6927 Yep, I can "quick shift"/rev match on the fly without using the clutch during hard acceleration just fine on the road. Coordinating the quick/brief throttle roll-off with the gear shift up just isn't that hard- then back on the gas.

[@SimonShinn]

Most comments I guess are not from AT owners as one major thing missing with the update is the backlite switch gear…those of us who use the AT at night (even after many KMs) still struggle sometimes to find the right button…

[@roadwarrior8560]

That's because there are too many stupid buttons and modes.

[@SimonShinn]

@@roadwarrior8560 Agree - Honda needs to do a complete rethink on the control/HMI/possibilities

[@texlee1640]

BMW owners are still screaming the same thing as well.

[@thomasbelanger8715]

Doing 98% on road and only wanting a polyvalent bike with the option of the occasionnal off road and being able to travel without much limitations, the AT makes much more sense to me now that it has a 19" front. However, I would have like to have both models be available with a 19 or a 21, as the Adventure Sports also comes with a lot of options that make the price go up a lot...

[@Red-74-]

What's the fuss about Electronic Suspension then people obviously don't realise you CANNOT service the rear shock unless its ohlins. So when the shocks damping has gone it's £1000's for a new one🤣

[@us4marine]

All changes look great!!! BUT,BUT, they did miss an important one which is the back light on the handle controls buttons when night riding.

[@virginialax03]

Are these bikes still made in Japan?? I can't find information on the production anywhere

[@utuberagain18]

Did they make the air filters accessible without having to remove about 84 fasteners of various sizes with different tools and breaking a half dozen plastic fairing tabs? (That’s hyperbole fellas) ADV bikes are meant to be ridden in dirty & dusty off-road conditions, so easy air filter servicing is pretty important. That’s been a big fail in the Africa Twin’s design since day 1.

[@dhruvpansare3369]

Automatic on a bike??? Just get a damn scooter

[@GCTO239]

DCT is a completely different animal!

[@GCTO239]

😂

[@Skiamakhos]

As far as DCT goes sales of Africa Twins in 2022 were split 50/50 between manual & DCT. Most people who try DCT find themselves loving it. I had huge problems trying to get my head around it at first but I reckon the best thing to do is just take it for a spin. After a couple of hours you'll likely love it. I did the Honda Adventure Experience back in March 2023, having bought a DCT AT in November but having way too much nerves to just get on & ride it. I wanted a day or two on a DCT AT with some supervision & instruction, and I got that along with a day off road on very dodgy ground, sliding around in mud, on shale, all sorts. Honestly within 15 minutes I was happy as I could be. Give it a go, folks. Take a test ride.

[@Skiamakhos]

Just to add, you don't need a 21" front wheel off road for gravel - you need them for obstacles, for rock-hopping and getting over logs. It probably makes very little difference on gravel - look at supermoto bikes.

[@paulsmyth497]

Oops. No - Tubeless are not a pain in the ar5e - the other variety is though. Great vid mate as an ATAS 2020 DCT variety owner - 62 years of age, I was bikeless from 1979 to 2019 (FORTY years) and rode only a couple of times in the 40 years on borrowed bikes. HOWEVER - for me as a Honda boy/man since I could talk, and riding again since 2019, I HATE the DCT when slow manoeuvring.... U turns etc. I WAS going to swap in 2024 for manual, with quick shift. However - for distance riding - DCT is awesome...... but I need control with a clutch when U turning.....

[@zafota6250]

I've owned a VFR1200 DCT - Its great for traffic but the DCT gets boring real quick. The DCT should only be an option. I'd rather get the manual ATAS

[@loblolly777]

It is an option - in the Standard model.

[@UncleWally3]

Not sure if it’s enough to rip my fully farkled 2018 DCT AT from my hands but . . . a tad lower, a refined DCT and a 19” front tubeless works for me.

[@jc7654]

tubeless rims 👍

[@gavfr]

People knock the DCT without ever trying it, despite being a sceptic I bought a DCT Crosstourer (because it was cheap, and I wanted to try a Crosstourer, but couldn't get a test ride anywhere) fitted the optional foot gear change and I love it, 5000 miles in 6 months, its like a quickshifter but better, and great in slow moving traffic.

[@miketran4289]

Wait for the 2025 model which will have E-Clutch, Honda knows most of you are like SUV drivers, buy it to cosplay as a ADV rider when in reality you guys just use it to ride down to cafe on weekends and never take it off road because you are too scared of chipping the paint nor have the skill to.

[@jmsmikey]

I like the changes, but was hoping for a supercharger for 2024

[@jimporter]

Surely Honda should have just made an upgraded NT1100AS.

[@waynegibbs6504]

I was considering a Tiger 1200 but have changed my mind, I want a 2024 Africa Twin

[@casefarley5744]

100hp is plenty for a bike that is aimed at offroad riding, but the top-spec road-focused touring version is underpowered, especially with luggage. The red/white/blue is still the best looking bike in its class, and one of the best looking motorcycles you can buy for any money.

[@rhamjasrami3900]

Pricing is really interesting how it differs from country to country. In NZ, new GS's are close to 40K, the new 1300 probably more. Base model AT's are leaner, just picked up a brand new 2022 for $23K (got discounted for stock clearance - only difference between '22 & '23 is slightly more blue). Here this is only a few more grand than a new T7. The '24 upgrades are of course better, but for what probably will be close to $30K? Just refinement culture at this point. Fundamentally the same bike. Would love to have it but for many normal people the price will be the difference between having one and not. And am already kicking myself for spending this much... Would love to have seen them fix the 20 second dash and safety warning nanny on the '24 but I somehow doubt it... perfect bike if so.

[@metalsadman]

Tralsalp xl750 suddenly popped in my feed and surprise how expensive it is in Singapore, close to x2 where I am which is already expensive by around 20-30% for how much they're going for in other western countries.

[@FilthyForce]

17k for a full spec in Miami

[@tompGA]

Honda needs to bring the new AT and the NT1100 to the US. It's about time. Triumph 900 GT is a worthy option if not.

[@flexywing]

I love the 19" front wheel, if only Triumph had done the same with a 19" on the front of 1200x Scrambler

[@GIGABACHI]

Y E S ! Exactly 💯😊👍 Or at the very least give it an 18" or 19" rear to go with that front pizza cutter 21".

[@imopn]

Would love them to add that super charger getting that torque curve even lower down in the rev range and flat as a table. Maybe as low as peak torque at 3500. Would love that

[@jimgordon3468]

DCT is spectacular. I have a 2021 Goldwing DCT tour and a 2023 Rebel 1100dct Tour. Incredible fun. Both of these bikes absolutely haul ass. Button shifting is no issue. And DCT is great for city riding, and HILLS. So if you want a clutch. You do you. I'll stick with the DCT.

[@GCTO239]

Agreed. DCT is magnificent!

[@henryvaneyk3769]

AT looks better than the GS by a country mile. No DCT please. I like working the friction zone of the clutch for control.

[@HuBo485]

Nice move to split it into more adventure and touring needs

[@terrystratford1235]

It does make good sense! I bought a 2021 base. I've put the denali, altrider and touratech products on her! She's dct. I wanted to go on byroads, but I have 0 skill level and it's a very heavy expensive bit of kit! So, she is a road tourer! I'm very happy with this bike, not disappointed! Although, I'm going to see if the new tubeless wheels fit my model and if I can buy them from Honda!

[@garthmctavish7335]

Honda is way better looking. Then, a GS 😎👍

[@DaveDayve]

Thanks, I could listen to hundreds of AT videos from u all day ☺ Smaller tank on the standard? Pop an acerbis long range tank. Lighter plastic, best combination Luv it ☺ would have been my even more perfect bike in 2020. I'm upgrading my standard. Honda is tapping further into the market with both bikes.

[@KBeadle]

I've ridden bikes on and off since 1988 and had Honda DCT on my last 2 bikes, I won't be going back to manual. It takes a while to get used to it but once you do its makes long distance riding easy and when you really want go mental just stick it in manual

[@trenthays7]

Don’t really care to hear the opinions of other commenters in videos.

[@johnanderson9735]

I think they did a good job, if I had waited for this model year I could have saved some customizing dollars. Making a more definite line between a more road touring bike and a more off road machine works.

[@GCTO239]

Exactly

[@bikegeist]

I'd love to join in complaining about or coming to the defence of this new AT, but they haven't even acknowledged the existence of it in Japan yet.

[@skyworks1621]

It is never the same if you drive by yourself and using quickshifter. It is not the same to press a button on a handlebar. Quickshifter is the besr thing that happened to my biking in the last 20 years.

[@andyh9068]

There is a foot pedal you can add to the current model which makes it more like a quickshifter. That will probably be available for the updated version

[@tabuleirocmd]

a curb weight of 227 kg according to manufacturer´s factsheet (probably 230 kg in real life) is high for a motorcycle that is designed for off-road adventure (at least what they want us make believe from the ads). Imho it should come with a reverse gear option and a Li battery to compensate for the add. weight. Thanks for the video!

[@imgoingforaride]

Now, they finally think of the shorter rider . I will definitely be looking into the new 19 inch front wheel bike .

[@yorkchris10]

It seems Honda really does listen to its clients. I'd be surprised to see a six cylinder, shaft drive A-T.

[@2631Fred]

Just got an update from Honda NZ today. We will have both options. Manual and DCT on the ADV Sport. We unfortunately have to wait till September 2024. NZ is always way behind with most brands except with the Triumph 2024 models. They are already on the showroom floor. I was hoping for the 19" front wheel. I will be on gravels roads maybe 30% at most so this suites me perfectly. The question I have to ask myself : is the 2024 AT ADV S with a much higher price tag(app 5.3k-5.9k really worth it?... comparing to the 2024 Tiger 900 GT Pro/Rally Pro. a GR8 PLUS POINT FOR BOTH BIKES (Honda and Triumph) ARE THE INCREDIBALY "FAST" CHIPS THEY USE IN THE DISPLAYS. WHY?? is it on special on AliExpress??? (SARCASTIC)

[@jamesdumas6602]

I'd like to buy a new big Touring Dual Sport bike. What would get my to buy a new bike would be a Reverse Gear. I solo ride my 2010 Harley Electra-Glide and solo trail ride my 2008 KLR650. I been street riding for 55 years and trail riding for 40 years. A reverse gear would be so helpful when you get crossed up in some deep ruts or stuck in a mud hole. Honda put a reverse gear in the Goldwing, why the F would they put it in the big heavy trail riding African Twin? On a side note, MotoBob, for us older (71) guys here in the U.S. of A. when your say or list the specs for bikes in your video reviews will you please list the specs also inches and pounds in your videos, we don't speak the metic system here.

[@windmic7124]

GS? No, thanks! The Africa Twin is the Queen with real sleek offroad profile! I've got an AT1000 (2018/standard/manual/black) with 21" tubeless Haan wheel and I just love the bike. Ok, it could have a cruise control but..."a man is a man"😎.

[@karimazhari9576]

I have always loved the AT and owned a couple over the years I switched to KTM since Honda had no real ADV bike on the market so when the new AT was announced I was extremely happy but once it came out I was really disappointed with the power and still am that bike needs at least a boost of 40Hp to be competitive with other bikes on the market

[@richardkeeley6927]

I traded my 2017 AT for a 2023 Norden 901. The Norden is a great bike, but reliability has shown to be ???. So, I will be going back to the 2024 ATAS, manual. Even with the 1st gen AT, I never felt I required more power and it will be even less so with the 1100 ATAs

[@jag1963]

I am picking mine up later today. I am coming from a DCT Goldwing and moving to the Manual Africa Twin. I just want the involement of the manual. If you are in traffic a lot or you commute on it get the DCT if like me you are retired and dont have any place to be and just lane exploring get something that has a manual gearbox and have fun.

[@localfishinghole]

Seems like they are building these for a more road focused crowd, which suits more of their target market. Personally, I am happy with my 22 AT AS ES with its 21 inch front wheel... is it a perfect bike? No. But I love it despite all its quirks and mandatory disassembly every time it needs a small service. I am a tall guy 6'5" so it fits me very well. It is completely paid off, so I am perpetually on the market for another bike, but I think I am going to go for the KTM 1290...

[@andyh9068]

I think its been given the improvements it needed

[@dougiequick1]

I have a buggered left hand which makes it stiff and painful to transistion from gripping bar to the clutch but I still hate the added weight of DCT so the answer? DUHH Honda needs to offer their new E Clutch to the standard manual tranmission for the perfect compromise between DCT and manual....actually BETTER because the E-clutch lets you select back to regular manual clutch whenever you miss having your own clutch lever....btw I wonder what happenes when one pulls the clutch with E clutch? Probably just overlaps is my guess and wont hurt nor help anything

[@robb8773]

I will keep my R1250GS and upgrade to the R1300GS....why Honda keep pushing their DCT. I have ridden different models with it and don't like it.

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

I won't ever buy a road bike that doesn't have tubeless tires again. I didn't ever have a problem with the 21" wheel but 19" will be just as fine for me. I'm 99% on road.

[@simonthomas5367]

I’m using my ATAS off-road a lot less than I used to. And my wife is more and more interested in touring with me so I’m starting to lean towards a DCT version. Tested one last year. Absolutely fantastic. Very intuitive and a lot of fun. Different of course but good different. Love this clip. Very informative and, as always, well balanced information.

[@roadwarrior8560]

I see the AS 2024 is available in either black or white/tricolour for 2024. I want to go for the black with manual gearbox model with quickshifter but I see it comes with black wheels only, the tricolour model comes with gold wheels, I wonder why they don't offer the gold wheels on the black bike? pity.

[@eyesonly4451]

I just put a custom Corbin seat on my 2022 Africa Twin AS ES. The factory seat is for the showroom only. The new Corbin supports my 250 lb. much better than the bent plastic from the factory.

[@vietnameseloempia]

If the Honda offered DCT and 150 hp it would be a no brainer for me. The dct is awesome, just wish it had more power. But literally everything else about the bike i absolutely love, and the dct is definitely one of the things to love. Others are looks, sound, handling, comfort, feel of quality. Just want moaaarrr powerrrrr

[@inqufox1750]

I personally dont like the way adv bikes look, fr looks like they all dove head first off a cliff into a wall and just went "every adv bike should look like this" The only one that doesnt is the BMW GS and the KTM 790/890R's every other ADV bike looks dumb as hell

[@vasiliyt8600]

99,99% of all ADV riders are on the road anyway... They just don't want to sincere with themself. Honda, BMW etc. knows their customers very well. 🤣

[@dendec7631]

I LOVE my DCT. People need to get over themselves, so many people think they are professional rally riders. I have taken my Africa Twin through Moab and the Mid Atlantic BDR and can say I am glad I had the DCT and did not have to devote brain cells to shifting and could concentrate on all the other things trying to kill me instead. Its a fantastic bike and I was only able to tackle such a challenging ride because of the DCT not in spite of it. Try a DCT first before you turn your noses up to it. I love the new color schemes too.

[@winduncan9818]

The biggest reason I have never bought an AT is the tubed tires (the AS felt too big), I think the new tubeless is a big upgrade. IMO CC is a really nice thing in the US with the highways but here in Asia with the road conditions I can't use CC or heated grips. I'd like a stripped down base model. Tubeless, MT, and priced cheaper without CC and heated grips.

[@tritiumglo4699]

When the Honda 4 wheelers break, Which is not often, its usually the electronic shift push buttons. I cannot stand the tech and blinking lights on the dash when you turn TC ABS off. They can keep this tech junk wagon. Need a basic dirt bias model, hold the tech junk.

[@hovishill2779]

There are 2 versions, honda haven’t ruined it, buy the one that suits you best, tbh the standard AT which is lighter and now has the adjustable screen, electronic suspension, cruise control and tubeless wheels will be the pick of the models now. 19” front wheel, I don’t hear anyone moaning about the GS front wheel offroad, why don’t people just wait and see what it’s like before whinging about it, it may well be just as good, it will almost certainly be a big bonus for most riders who spend most their time on a tarmac road.

Muchísimas gracias por los subtitulos en español. Respecto a la africa twin, creo que es un acierto enorme el DCT, y la llanta de 19, para la gran mayoría de moteros que no pisamos la tierra prácticamente nunca. El DCT es una maravilla. Es raro que no lo copien inmediatamente otras marcas. Más cómodo y más seguro. Estéticamente me gusta más la africa twin que la gs, y con el DCT, imbatible.

[@Pcfly]

After 2019, Honda lost its way with the AT or ATAS, they tried to chase the upper tech market without balancing it with more power yet the price jumped and left it in a weird space compared to Ducati or BMW. On top of all that, they added menus, tech and buttons galore to the thing which seemed very advanced but in all their thinking……someone forget to ask the motorcycle rider how to use all of it. There are plenty of review videos of people trying to figure out how to use all those buttons and features, some of the reviewers pointing out they had to get the manual out and spending 30-40minutes changing modes and turning the ABS off……🤦🏻‍♂️ Making it even more lost when you compare it to the new Transalp. Basically the current T-Alp is lighter, simpler, almost as much power and what the AT should have been. The Current crop of AT’s are a mixed bag of non focused bikes that don’t define themselves well in a crowded space, both by marketing or price , and seem to exist for someone who “just likes a Honda” instead of a bike that defines itself poignantly by several traits. Now……before someone flamethrows me to the ground, I’ve owned two AT’s, a 2016 standard and 2018 DCT, (at the same time) years ago. I love Honda and the AT’s, I still have my 2018 ATAS model and it will be the bike I will never sell. I hope Honda finds its way back with a better AT in the future, a simpler, lighter, basic, well balanced bike better positioned by price and simplicity……in today’s terms, the TransAlp?! 😮

I totally agree with you. A return to the basics is sometimes the best way to go...that's why I love my AT2018.

Suzuki 1050 DE is a better bike pound for pound shame on you not to mention that ledgend of a bike

[@magnuspym]

Yup: No DCT for me! I'll be looking hard at a super tenerre or a big GS.

Is it just me or does the headlight/ front end look more squished on this years model? Something doesn't look right..

New Honda ATAS 24 model is very ugly compared to my 2023 ATAS

[@02238584551614]

I like the look of the new 1300 gs but its still way behind the looks of the Africa Twin which is definitely the best looking bike .
