Exactly the same bike is mine... now 2000Km. I do love the DCT, EERA and the foot shifter too...makes riding so much more fun and the feeling is very similar to classic shifter ones... mostly people do complain about DCT but never had driven one. The only boring thing is the road you will choose. Everything else will make you smile on this bike. Slovenia, Italy, Austria are the right places for this bike. Everything south of Munich will be fine - believe me...
congrats and enjoy some holidays more south with it!!!

I choose this bike in a blink of an eye over any GS.

[turtledad]

Same controls as my 1100T DCT!!!! Love it!!!!

I owned a CRF1100 ATAS DCT and my experience was that the speedometer was exaggerating a lot, more than other brands, 150km/u on the speedo was 135km/u in real on the navigation, about 10% speed less and that why it's looks fast but it isn't actually that fast.

Seat was the worst of the 30 bikes I owned but the suspension was the best of the bikes I owned.

I now have a '24 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro and it's a hoot on the speedbumps like the Africa Twin.

Thanks, nice review.

My old dog AT dct 1000 year 2017 have served me well and still does.

I think my next bike will be another AT dct, which one is not fully decided yet.

Adventure Sport is very tempting.

[eriktgn]

A BMW S1000XR makes 160hp and 114 Nm of torque, so the AT making 112 Nm with "just" 105hp tells you how the bike can feel much more powerful than it actually is (in line 4 vs parallel twin differences beside).

[Mkabesa]

Dear Honda, pls give Smokey this motorcycle for a year+. Thanks. (All-time dream bike😭)?

[HolgerAp]

I switched from a 2008 Honda Transalp to the 2024 Aftrica Twin Adventure Sports and ... so many women turning their head towards me. This bike is not only awesome to ride, but it's also a chick magnet :)

[MyFluffyClouds]

As soon as I pass my motorcycle test I'm buying one of these.

[MotorcycleMayhem]

Smokey, I have a 2021 Adventure Sports ES with a manual transmission. If you come to USA you are welcome to ride it anytime you want.

[richierich]

Tick tick tick tick let’s rock! Looking forward to it mate

[verdonrocksphotography]

love this machine, don't care what folks thinking about clutch, give me 3-5 years and we will pay extra for manual....would get the machine if I am on market for new one cheers V!

Apperently I am not the typical GS rider. 1300 that is. 34 years, I like to push the bike where it makes sense. Today I went over 4 mountain passes in the alps, from Italy to Germany and at one point both tyres started sliding a bit. A little faster right turn, but a decent camber to the left. And if you really open the throttle and let her rev up, she pulls hard. At the same time, when there is no twisty road, the bike is perfect to relax and prepare for the next twisty section. And there is a good chance that at one point I will get the Jekyll and Hyde exhaust. That thing sounds nasty.

I actually think the new GS design and the way it rides is catching younger guys. As an excample, today I have seen two younger guys in full race leather on 1300s. But I might be wrong with my assumption.

I really liked this video. Thinking an ATAS DCT will be great for distance, complementing my amazing KTM 1290 SAS for the big Dallas city. Glad there is a quick shifter add-on for DCT. I love me a quick shifter.

[mattyb]

DCT adventure sports here. Have owned a Break My Wallet, wont make that mistake again. Looked at the ktm but the camshafts made of cheese? No thanks.
Tried the manual and the DCT, wont go back to the manual.

De manier waarop jouw filmpjes in elkaar zijn gezet is echt heel fijn weg te kijken! En inhoudelijk leuk en informatief complimenten 🙏🏻


Soms een beetje gezonde jaloersie dat jij op al deze prachtige motoren mag rijden 🫣😅

[inspectorclouseau]

It is a very good looking bike for sure

[yarrilongueville]

Those roads around the lilse bergen are awsome drove there for years with the honda wallaroo when i was 16 offcours 😅

[ramiretz]

hy Smokey, its a super beautiful bike... and as a honda guy too this is my ultimate dream bike but honestly i cant afford it in any

[DAI-proofofuniqueness]

Hi smokey, thanks for another beautiful video, couple of questions:
-how heavy/top heavy does it feel?
-with the DCT and electronic suspension what is the final weight?
-does it still feel nimbo and agile?
