what a gem! for me it`s one of the prettiest adventure bikes on the market.

I have a 2016 Africa Twin DCT. Best bike I've ever had. I absolutely love the DCT box

[mikhailk]

Honda's DCT makes all their models feel amazingly well.

[HuberHeinrichHuber]

Meister Schaaf, Immer wieder eine Freude 😊 !
Gruss Thailand.

[simonndaula]

You took it easier on this one as compared to the 2017 DCT version. Always a pleasure watching you ride brother

[gokulkrishm]

The view was extra goood today! Beautiful roads and a beautiful bike.
Also the blinkers working on hard braking looks so good lol.

Love the initial „Honda testride horn beep“, happens to me every time I ride a Honda.

[mm]

That’s me tomorrow at 5:00AM when I get home 😂😜

[JoniNeo]

0:31 signal recommends 40 km/h, Schaaf sees 1 40, at least! I don't know why bother of blurring it, either way the limit on that road is 50, and 120 is on the minus 6points already. Don't misunderstand me, I love to watch and hear it.

[yushpeaceandlove]

That just sold me on DCT. What a bike!

[MrRide]

Hi Schaaf! It seems like the indicators/warning lights start flashing pretty early right?, some of the braking performed didn't look that hard but it was flashing on almost "every" corner.

[kukmica]

What's this?
Luke flying an x- wing?
Ahhh! No: It's Mr. Schaaf riding any given motorcycle.
Thanks for sharing!

[kevingluck]

Tolle Aufnahmen!
Tolles Bike!
Die Fußrasten schleifen aber schon sehr früh, oder?

[prometeo]

Te sigo desde que montabas en tu cb 500, y sigo sin entender porqué montas en moto.... porque creo que vas montado únicamente sobre tus pelotas 😂😂 que forma loca , segura y fina de conducir admiro tu seguridad y confianza . Gracias por tu canal y tus vídeos.Aprecio q en la descripción de los vídeos ahora pongas también el neumático que llevaba cada moto.GRACiAS por todo.

[CROtourer]

Mate, trust me, you wanted to do this ride using the manual mode! 😁 Apart from ocassional S1, I only used D mode once on my VFR. By mistake … 😄

[gertverboomen]

Hi sir, it seems that the pegs scrape the asphalt much earlier compared to the previous model with the 21 inch front wheel. You don’t seem to be using the flippers to shift down before the corner, is that on purpose? I do that all the time.

[bogdan]

This is the 3rd or 4th AT clip, you must really like this one.

Now for my question: how does this compare to the NT1100? You've mentioned before you liked the NT better for on-road touring, but AT had better suspension. Now you have a more street-oriented AT, does this version offer you what the NT had and 21" AT didn't?

[davidbrea]

I have a 2021 ATAS DCT, and i agree with you that the gearbox in automatic modes should change earlier in reductions, especially in 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
Great video! Thank you!

[attilamurvai]

Very good video Schaaf! Thanks for uploading. I think the bike is beautiful and while I agree with your sentiments regarding the 19" wheel I dislike that this is the direction that ADV bikes are going. I'm on the opinion that these bikes are made for adventure rides, gravel/dirt roads some offroad and only occasionally the highway. I am completely aware that I am in the minority with my opinion because the GS and the AT sells like hot cakes. I just feel like if you want to tour asphalt and have fun in the twisties you should get something else.. Brands are just reacting to the customers needs but I think those needs are ill-informed..

Regarding the DCT. I think the tech itself is amazing but it will never be able to predict the future like the rider can and chose the correct gear BEFORE entering a corner.
However a couple months ago I saw a guy with who had one leg and rode a DCT VFR1200. For him, it is a necessity so I really like that there are true bikes offering automatic transmission.

I did a tour in Morocco and one of the guys came with this exact model after upgrading from the 2022 version. He was riding two-up with a lot of baggage and they had a lot of fun. This is a very capable machine for touring. He was a sporty rider for sure and got accustomed to how the DCT behaves pretty well. The semi-active suspension visibly made riding for them more enjoyable. I have no idea how Honda did it but that 100hp really felt like much more when I saw them coming out of corners with that much extra weight.

Take care Schaaf!

Just testrode the 2019 AT without DCT, a few hours ago. Now even YT knows what I’m doing..or is this a coincidence? Nice vid, Schaaf!
