VLOG 31 - Honda Africa Twin 50,000km Review

[@martychin9496]

Bought and sold 1/2 dozen R1200GS/A, KLR650, and loved them. Went to buy an African Twin and got talked out of it by Honda/KTM dealer, talked me into buying KTM 1090 Adventure, fantastic hotrod bike, junk factory acessories -poor fit, gas cap broke off first ride, second ride fuel sender got stuck 8 weeks to fix -sold it with joy. Went back and bought my Africa Twin, rode 1200 miles in 3 days, through 5 storms, rock solid bike, hauls ass, agile and nimble, kick ass ride, reliable period. Thanks for a great review.

[@longranger5226]

MetreX You can’t really go wrong either way. I’ve got an Africa. Great bike. She’s a bit portly, but I really haven’t noticed while riding. Not as exciting as the KTMs. Had them before too.

[@porkchop803scwilliams9]

Man I'd like to get one

[@hesko125]

Would it be good for a dude that is 6"4

[@shampoo-supernova]

@@hesko125 I'm 6'9", works fine for me.

[@dannynagle]

Zero criticism! Honest and entertaining review from someone who has walked the walk! Great job!

[@anthonyd5220]

This is the type of review that guys need to watch when deciding on a bike. A 50,000 km ridden review is so much better and accurate than a 100 km, two day demo ride. I am on the verge of finalizing the Twin (DCT version) and the vid and comments have just inked the deal for me. Thanks William for a great review....

[@nomad5176]

Finally the guy who likes his stock pipes. I thought I am the only one. Thanks for objective review.

[@zzxx33mh]

Nomad Nomad original exhuast nice shaped..

[@nomad5176]

Right, SoloRide. good shape, nice sound, good quality and weight. Really no sense to buy 'watch me' pipes.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Except it sounds like a scooter with stock pipe

[@michal1249]

I like them too. Snd the worst ones and most boring stock pipes are on BMW f800gs😋

[@MathieuTerzian]

Michal Kadlec that’s true. Had to change mine on the first days with an Arrow.

[@brentbergman81]

I bought an AT in June because of your VLOGs (also bought a Mavic Pro). Rode from Phoenix to Prudhoe and back the following few weeks. 12,000mi in 3 weeks. Love it. Zero regret.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Strong work!

[@8andsk835]

How is it in the freeway with the nobby tires?

[@youngboomerragevictim8857]

12000?? So you went cross county like 4 times?? Liar

[@tHaH4x0r]

@@youngboomerragevictim8857 I think you are right hahaha, 20k km in 3 weeks equals approximately 950km (590 mile) per day. Possible? Maybe. It would take non-stop riding every single day for those 3 weeks, with barely any breaks between. Even if you average 100km/h (unlikely) you'd spend 9.5h in the saddle not including breaks, fuel stops, food. I'd say extremely unlikely, and if true extremely unpleasant no matter what bike. 500 miles for most people is on the way high side for a day of touring, 300-400 is more reasonable.

[@davidj4662]

Peace of mind traveling on a Honda = priceless.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I used a 5th gen VFR to travel the US for years. Honda makes fantastic machines.

[@jorgeneriksson3144]

There are two brand i completely trusts. One is Honda, and the other is Yamaha. Kind of bullit proof bikes. And you got to love that about them.

[@jimmyjoe1871]

Rode my wing from Florida to Oklahoma and back this year….. Glorious

[@jimmyjoe1871]

Also I want this Africa Twin but the pegs are too high

[@sabre40]

I’ve watched all of the other Africa twin blogs from people and this one was the best, banged on about welding a lot but some one actually out there doing what the bike is supposed too! Well done, I pick up my Africa twin tomorrow and plan to ride England-holland-Germany-Austria-Sweden-Norway-Scotland back to England so advice was welcome. Safe riding all

[@davidj2549]

Great vid as usual...I have an Africa Twin but so far have only managed a few thousand miles around Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Feeling inspired to go further afield thanks to your vlog...just gotta convince the missus.

[@zzxx33mh]

[@xontheweb2376]

Funny enough my most amazing ride, possibly ever, was riding your beautiful NC500 2 years ago within 4 days of sunshine. Was on the zzr, not the AT, but I need to take my ATAS there, it's calling again.

[@MikeBarnacIe]

Hi William, you can adjust the brightness on the screen there is a secret menu you can use. Hold down SEL and SET together. This menu allows you to change the time and brightness. Just cycle through and you will see the brightness option

[@WilliamGloege]

Mike Bee are you messing with me??? I guess I should read the manual at some point!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@MikeBarnacIe]

William Gloege I only found out because I needed to change the time for GMT’s time change. Quick google! Can even change MPH/kph is the menu. Loving the vlogging thank you for sharing with us all.

[@nomad5176]

Real men never read manuals. Respect yourself, think experimental ;)

[@xforce52]

Yep me too brought one in September ..needed to change clock as it was set wrong!..and as Mike said found screen brightness!....was a bit fed up as dealer didn't tell me Honda was doing a new 30th AT addition with great paint job!....could have waited till next year!!!...still it's a great bike and lov watching your vids William!

[@iSlanderEST]

I was just about to write about this menu :P

[@kiwipirate60]

Not that I needed it but this just confirms what I love about my AT...can't beat it

[@MrStarmissed]

Now that's a review! Take care on the road William.

[@guenter4860]

Great VLOG`s watched all of them. Some thoughts about BMW GS Adventure and the Africa Twin. Before two month I sold my GS adventure 2014 built. I made just 55.000km and had already to replace the clutch with 42.000km. Expensive part and limited chance to do it by yourself because of the special tools you need. It was my second GS and with the older model I made nearly 105.000 Km without any mayor problems. I was looking for an Alternative as I found your VLOG and that’s why I remembered the old, first Africa Twin and she was nearly un-destroyable. Honda parts you get nearly everywhere and the normal service or brake pads changing, I can do by myself.Thanks for your Input and as Honda will bring the new model "Africa Twin Adventure Sport", it looks like this will be the wright choice for me.Wish you the best and go on like that!

[@zzxx33mh]

guenter48 it's hard to go wrong with Honda..and like been saud;you meet good people..the new sport adventure diffenetly will be something to conclude in your shopping cart..but notice that it may not be comfortable in touring as GS..!

[@loft4me]

Man is this relaxing to watch. And I don't even ride (my last bike was a Hodaka powered Bonanza mini bike while in High School). Subtle humor, sincere without being gushy, and with the self-confidence needed to ride an adventure bike in far off destinations but without the arrogance that might cause friction among the locals, my hats off to this guy William.

[@donniebaker5984]

a Winter's Take ...awh man you had a 100cc Rat motor in that mini bike geeezze ..those things were little kid killers ...two stroke that would buzz like crazy ..in frame no heaver than 20 inch stingray bicycle .... Back then every kids dream ride ..two of my buddies had them and would show off by riding down in our favorite strip mining pit that was about 60 foot deep and then climb " the wall" to get out that was the pit wall plus the spill pile of all the dirt that was dug out to create the pit .... Those hodaka 100cc two strokes would scream

[@christiansendra3610]

That how you do a review. Quick, no bullshit and to the point. Looked this bike today and this review helped a ton. Sadly won’t be riding around the world but riding never the less. Nice work.

[@WilliamGloege]

[@christosntaflos4560]

I had a XL1000V VARADERO, for many years. Now a 2017 AT! Although on paper it is slightly lighter, it feels as light as a feather! I enjoy every day on this bike! Keep riding!

What a decent review this is! Straight talking guy...very few of them out there. Thanks!

[@stevejohnson9391]

Enjoyed your review. Entertaining. I've got the same bike. Made a lot of the same mods. Only thing I have to disagree with you is about the suspension. But then again, I'm 6'2" and weigh 190 lbs. Add to that the amount of luggage and camping gear I carried with me from Oklahoma to Alaska and I can tell you the stock suspension is wholly no bueno! My sag was so sag I slapped a Touratech HP Explore shock and a new set of springs for the front forks before I left. So glad I did. Carry on! I've subscribed.

[@mxgryan]

Discovered this by accident but now I'm going back to watch your entire around the world VLOG

Don’t watch many reviews all the way through because I get sick of the shit talk but really liked this honest opinion of the Africa twin... well done....

[@hussienabukhalil2012]

Sir, Do faced any issues with this tube tires? in travels or off road?

[@rento1973]

Excellent concise and thorough review. It’s also inspiring to discover how ‘stock’ you have left the bike. I find the fascination (it seems to be standard in The States in particular) with changing end cans at huge expense to be so pointless!

thanks for the review. just bought a 2019 AT. hope you keep going after the pandemic

I am in full agreement with you William....I have a twin just like yours and with 10,000 dirt miles it is doing great....and it has been in some tough places with me and never failed me one second...Great around the world bike I think...

[@airwave4948]

Thanks for the straightforward & informative review! I enjoy watching your videos. Safe travels for the remaining legs of your journey.

[@stephencarrahar286]

Great review. So much better to watch a long term, long distance appraisal. I bumped into 2 German guys in the USA doing a round the world trip on the same bike. You could see the effect on the bikes, tyres totally squared off. Hand grip rubbers worn through. Chain way past the end of its life. Good choice of bike.

[@markhills3922]

Thanks for an honest review of a bike that you have lived with for 50,000k's. It's nice to know that there are still some bikes out there that don't fall apart or need a fortune spent on them to make them work or improve reliability. I think I should stop thinking about the choice between the AT and the T7 and stay with Honda. If you want to see what a maniac can do on a near stock AT, look up MVDBR Enduro and Mad Mick. He proves just how much punishment the AT can take and still get up for more! I have hit the subscribe thingo!

[@MrJcmoore]

William...what great info, thanks. I just took an expat assignment in Santiago Chile, (from Texas) and am about to pull the trigger and buy this bike. I have test ridden the GS 1200, the Yamaha Ten, and the KTM 1290...but, you know, I feel the same way about Hondas...for the money, it has a lot of value and reliability, and not to mention parts availability. Your review made the difference for me...thanks.

[@mototroter]

It's very nice bike. It has some minor cons but after 10.000 km I can say, so far so good. I did not want to buy BMW GS.

[@advrx1041]

I have had my 2016 AT here in the US since March 2017 and I have Managed a little over 14K miles in that time with about a 60/40 on road to off road ratio. We have amazing riding here in Utah I believe the best of both worlds. I have come to the same conclusion on the suspension. After 5 KLRs I just simply had to learn how to work with all of those adjustments. You have produced some amazing videos, Thanks for sharing. I am running the Batzen windshield adjuster and when I saw the vid where your wind screen frame failed I had the same thought. I notice the windscreen in the raised position flexes that bracket a lot more. Surely that has an impact on the metal bracket being moved back and forth so rapidly for long periods of time. I love my AT!

[@wisecountryman49]

I think this rewiev should be on top of the page when searching for africa twins. I mean, your opinion is the most solid, taking you made 50.000 km arround the world on it, in all conditions. None of those guys on the tube have these km on it! So yeah, I'll take your word for it. And yes! Nothing beats Honda in terms of reliability. Fact.

[@ZSharkPH]

Good point on the racks breaking before the frame.. I always thought i wanted the toughest racks that wouldn't break.

[@tburnettiii]

I have a 2016 DCT AT and a 2008 KLR and I love going back and forth between the two. I just did the New Mexico GCDR on the KLR and now want re-do it on the AT. Great bike. Great videos, thanks.

[@neilwiddison6529]

Thomas Burnett I would love to tour the USA from Neil a UK biker

[@tburnettiii]

It was an awesome trip. I rode from Demming, NM up to Del Norte, CO over 6 casual days. Here's a video of my trip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6Kufqhjjrh_Z6c

Niel i have just completed a 6 week 14500mile trip from Key West , Pike Peak, YellowStone, Glacier Park into Canada to Fairbanks ,Anchorage , Vancouver, Seattle and back to Key West Florida . If you tour USA you just have to tour Alaska Its ffffffing AMAZING and easy. I was two up,on a big Harley Ultra, NO PROBLEM

[@noofyinc3198]

How was the transition to the dct? I also have a 2008 klr, looking to replace it with a dct AT. But I do a lot of off road, not sure how the dct will do

[@robertfeast7691]

Hey, I just started adventure biking and just purchased my first Africa Twin. What service did you use to ship the bike and how much did it cost?

[@mathewjeffery3592]

I know it's a old video and a shot in the dark but what did you use to mount lights to ur lowers my bike has uppers and they came installed, but from what I see I don't need the uppers and would like to move and keep the lights thanks Mathew

[@raymondmalan487]

To the Point Review. Liked it. Planning on Buying one. Safe Travels Mate !

[@CraigJungers]

Just stumbled across your VLOG and enjoyed the first scenes of this review immensely (the hail storm!). My current bike is a KLR650 with 18000 miles and your comment about your first around-the-world ride on a KLR caught my eye. I don't see any specific videos in which you compare your KLR650 with your Africa Twin and wondering if you plan to do that. I have been riding for (I almost hate to say this) about 60 years. Started with a Triumph Thunderbird 650, had various Hondas (including XL250 and XL350), a few Yamahas (RD250, RD350), three Harleys (an FL and two XLs) and now wife and I both have KLRs and love them. If I were to upgrade bikes it would be to the Africa Twin and DCT (arthritis!). I plan to watch every single VLOG! Stay safe!

[@tts949]

Interest for AT DCT for your same reason. Let us know your satisfaction. I have a 1200gs 2009

[@jeffandconnortatadventure5510]

Thanks for a real world practical review. Good video focused on perhaps the most important point....RELIABILITY. My son and I rode 5200 miles on the TransAmerica Trail last August on two old Craigslist bikes. (Riding some more remote location in Nevada highlights the importance of reliability.) Somehow we made it with the skin still intact on our rear ends...even with "unfarkled" stock seats. (We did have some padding in cycling shorts that we wore.) Amazingly the stock bikes made it too...despite being 1990 and 1996 model years with only routine maintenance.

[@mycbtguy]

Thanks so much for the thorough, real-world review. I'm up in the air between this bike and the BMW F800 GS and will likely test drive both before making the final decision.

[@infinion3]

thanks for the detail cutewhiteboy, lol what do you think about the tracer 900gt? do any of the africa twins come with cruise?

[@toby7504]

Watched this for the second time now. Great review from someone who has REALLY tested the bike! Love this as well as all your RTW vids. My remaining question was on saddle height but you already answered it below. I test rode an AT in France for two days - man, the stock exhaust is just fine like you say. I was a little intimidated by the saddle height (I'm 5'9") on a really steep hill but overall they are outstanding machines. Cheers!

When the fork seals needed replacing, did you get the shop to do it? As a bigger question: What motorcycle maintenance\ repairs should a traveler been au fait with in your opinion?

[@steves7359]

What a refreshingly honest review, nice one.

[@maboswel]

I have enjoyed your VLOGs, William. In this one you discussed your maintenance activities but did not mention any chain maintenance. For your trip around the world, how frequently did you clean and lubricate the chain? I'm asking because I'm going back and forth on the cost offset for shaft drive. I'm not going to be doing a ton of off road or technical riding, though I may do some. Thanks!

[@MolltoMotto]

Hello, very good review, I have a question about the initial and ending footage ¿Is it was taken in Los Andes? maybe Ecuador? Bolivia? Perú?

[@thislifesadventure2104]

Ahoy hoy mate. Great review. I've only been riding for a just under a year now but the Africa Twin is where I want to be eventually end up. You can't go wrong with the Hondas either, we had a honda trike as kids and I now have the much smaller cb300f that im learning on but damn the AT looks sweet or should I say aces :) keep up the great vlog mate.

[@naciriy]

Great video! What do you think of the SW motech crash bars? Do they protect the bottom part of the bike as well or just the fairings? I haven’t dropped mine yet but I know it’s a matter of time.

[@yessure5291]

Great video - I got a new 2017 AT in May of 2018 - 5600 kilometers up to Oct 09 so far - just local riding - no long trips yet - longest was about 220 kilometers. A great motorcycle - I wish it was 100 pounds lighter but you can't have everything.

[@staffordvideoproductions5788]

Hi Bill, nice blog. I am thinking of buying one of these soon. A question, did the white seat swoosh turn brownish after while?

[@seansteede]

Great review. I'm only in 13K but agree on all points. Some guys asking about tires, so far my best bang for the buck has been Shinko E804/E805 combo for a solid well priced 50:50 set. I did find the seat not so comfy, so went with Rich's Custom Seats near Seattle Washington, now I've pulled down 850km days back to back with only minor discomfort toward the end. Love your videos!

[@awcharnock]

Great to the point no BS review! I love the rotopax position. I had those same racks on my 990 and they broke very easily but like you said its an easy cheap fix and when you crash w hard cases something has to give and it may as well be the racks.

[@AZHiker_Chick]

What position do you have the seat in (if I'm not mistaken it has 2 positions)? And what is your inseam? Do you feel you can touch the ground enough? I haven't test ridden the AT yet but one of my concerns is at 5'5" (on a good day) will I be able to touch the ground.

[@paulbelli4175]

Hi, I am 5'8" with 29" inseam and have my standard seat in the low position. I can't flat foot at a standstill but I'm not on extreme tip toe. It's actually better to sit at the back of the seat when stopping because if you sit at the front the pegs obstruct you a bit. I haven't got them yet but I will be getting bar risers so I can sit more upright at the back of the seat. Also, there is a low seat option you can buy if the standard in the low position is too high. It's a great bike though.

[@WilliamGloege]

I'm 5-9 and it's in the high position, but I carry lots of weight.

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Excellent real world info, thanks and keep on filming!

[@steveconway11]

Great review! I may have missed it, what tire do you ride?

[@manngalaaarti1605]

How is it between 80-100 mph highway driving... are the rpms high or is it comfortable moving at that speed....?

[@inspectorchicken]

The Adventure Sports does pretty much everything that most people changed on their standard AT's. Would you recommend buying the Adventure Sports or would you still go with the standard and change some things?

[@BlackdogADV]

Good job! I'm a world traveler also. I’m on my second BMW 1200GS, my present one has 52,000 miles and has been great, never a problem. Now that I'm approaching 70 I'm looking for something lighter. Problem is there’s no real weight advantage with the Honda or even the big KTM’s. Rumor is BMW, KTM and Yamaha are coming out with some 700ish bikes and that may be the answer. I also have a Husqvarna 701 enduro that could be my ADV bike as it weights a tad over 300 lbs.

[@22lovejon]

Great review Mate. Thanks so much for doing the 50k plus

[@rrmerlin4961]

Can’t argue with anything you’ve said 😄, great review and all valid points based on your experience.👍🏻

[@glenncalver886]

Sorry if this is already asked. Are your crash bars SW Motech and how did the hold up/protect various parts etc?

[@karinazukowsky1868]

Very good info, reliable bike, did you adjusted the valves

[@TheGlitter46]

Nice vid mate. Honda must have listened to you! Every thing that was not quite right has been improved with the 2018 adventure sports. Will you be changing to one of those?

[@meuswe]

Funny, I have lots of the same ideas. Who cares what everyone else is riding? I just bought one today. I kept my promise to Honda and got the white. In my opinion, it is not only much better looking, it also feels just as capable as the 1200GS. I know because I rode one 20k miles. On and off road. I’m going to keep my twin on the pavement until I get some protection. Ride safe and enjoy the brap!

[@ericsuissa1066]

After traveling the world with both the KLR and now the Africa Twin, which do you prefer? I'm deciding between the two.

[@larrykrupa3505]

I bought mine after my GSA was totaled in an accident. I was in a few pieces myself, and one week after getting out of the hospital I bought this bike. I couldn't even get on the bike let alone test ride it. Haven't regretted it one bit (and I loved my GSA). I agree with all the points in this review (and I have enjoyed every post on this vlog. You're a natural!). I have only one additional point. My bike has a problem with a false neutral between 5-6th. Very annoying, but it is also usually when I do a "lazy" shift. This surprised me because other Hondas I've owned were dead on reliable in the gearbox. What are you going to do next William?

[@nickygarner3080]

Great review - I could actually understand what you were talking about lol!! I'm deciding what to buy atm that helped a lot. Thanks William

[@osmose76]

Bought a honda cause it's reliable Bought this bike cause I love the feelings when I rode it 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Your video is great man, thanks for your feedbacks... Nothing else to say .. On my way to the dealership 😂 Quick useless question Have you repainted the plastics that are on the stock exhaust? I found out that over time the color tend to fade away... Thanks 👍
