I was a BMW guy for years, my last being an R1200GS Adventure oilhead, which I loved. But the cost of ownership was murder, so I bought the Africa Twin with electronic suspension. No regrets. It’s beautifully made, with quite enough power where you need it, and it’s a bit more comfortable than the BMW, for me, because of the firm seat, as Mark mentioned. Despite the 21-inch front wheel, it tips in easily with neutral handling that inspires confidence. BMWs are fabulous bikes, but far too expensive for me, both in initial cost and in running costs. Honda’s got a real winner here.

Nice review. For the records, I purchased a 2020 CRF1100 Adv Sports in June in the Montreal, Quebec area. 110km from home, on the inaugural ride, engine died. Gas tank was full of gas. Managed to ride back to dealer and engine died about 5-6 times on the way to the dealer. Bike was in the shop for 5 days. It was a known problem from other owners but Honda never publicized or made an official recall. Was found to be a fault in the gas tank welding seams that creates a whitish powder that clogs the fuel pump, injectors, gas lines and spark plugs. Gas tank problem only reported on the 24litre tank. New gas pump, injectors and plugs replaced on warranty. Now with 7600km, runs great!

Hi Mark thanks for pointing this review out for me. I have a 2021 ATAS ES plus manual in the black and gold. Great review, I agree with all you are saying. It does the lot for me commute, quick blasts and more importantly 2 up tours with ease in fact rides the same fully loaded my old tracer 900gt struggled with suspension 2 up fully loaded. It's so easy to ride and relaxed. Co trols are easy to get used to you don't really need to touch much on the move, android auto means no need for a sat nav, ES can be adjusted on screen or via buttons. Only criticism the side stand leans the bike over a little too much need to check where you land it as can be a bugger if too inclined. 24.8 litre tank great and avg of 54mpg over 4.2k miles and around 330 miles from full to empty impressive. Great review!

Super review of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports and man, isn't she a beauty!

I currently have a 2017 Harley Street Glide Special with a Big Bore 128 Kit and it is nothing but a BEAST! Soon it will be paid off and my next motorcycle will be the Honda African Twin. Just really liking the African Twin the more and more I research adventure bikes. Having two great motorcycles like this will cover the types of riding I enjoy most.

Excellent review Mark (Mr Fish from the Mr Fish YouTube channel)is in love with these bikes.

[brents]

Love these bikes. I'm a Harley dude BUT I really like these. I have a 2019 and truly love it.

[Brad-RB]

Another great review Mark. Some beautiful country scenery as well.

[brucemadge]

Brilliant review. Great bike and beautiful British countryside. Thanks Mark.

Great review. I’ve got my eye on one of these. I think they do a manual with a quickshifter option which is what I would go for instead of the DCT version.

[philbennett]

Thanks for showing us this bike, Mark. Have to agree that it looks very special in that livery, and whenever I see an Africa Twin on the road it always exudes road presence and authority. Sadly it's too expensive for me but that said you seem to get a lot of bike for the money. By the way, have you got yourself a new camera? Image quality is superb on this video.

I got the black manual with ES, it’s a good improvement from the old 2016 I used to have. Torque is much better.

[paul.vanhout]

Another fine review. Beautiful bike and impressive improvements though too heavy for me for tackling adventure routes.

[swlvzpo]

I prefer the 1100L, but I'd have the DCT. And I like its lower screen. The retractable screen on the reviewed bike doesn't go down far enough. Too many riding modes etc., though. I think I'm going to settle for the NC750X DCT for longer distances here in the far north of Thailand.
Your reviews are superb. Everything a prospective owner would need to know is covered.

[Davennep]

It is a great bike, and it's a Honda!! I have the 2019 ATAS, also a fantastic bike.

[priestland]

Good to watch your video, especially as they are on roads I know well.

[garyburton]

Hi there Mark what a great bike, great colour scheme as well.
Gorgeous sound from the exhaust and another top video really enjoyed it.
Ride safe sir regards Gary.

[TheKevphil]

Great-looking bike and a fun ride to watch, too. Some very pretty and posh neighborhoods you were riding through, as well. :) Thanks!

[misteryt]

Anyone who wants one of these should wait couple of years and get one with low miles on it for at least 4k less...
Beautiful bike, very tall!
Nice review!
