- A real big classic touring bike from Honda based on the Africa Twin. We tested it with DCT and normal manual transmission in the same time.

You do an outstanding job on your reviews. Thank you. I hope this motorcycle comes to the United States, as it is number one on my purchase list.
Excellent review, thanks. However, I think you are criticizing the DCT a bit unfairly. Your test of it automatically downshifting was a situation where you rolled on the throttle only a bit so the DCT didn't realize you wanted to downshift. If you had cracked open the throttle more it would have downshifted. Also, you fail to mention that you are in total control of the DCT; if you want a lower gear just flick the paddle shifter on the left handlebar as many times as you want to drop down as many gears as you want. That's what you did with the manual transmission bike: you chose a lower gear, then a lower one and finally first gear. The DCT will do that as well, either by giving it full throttle or flicking the paddle shifter.
My lady a CTX 700 w/ DCT. We both hated it. Other than the unwieldy, difficult DCT, the bike was really good. However, the DCT was so uncooperative, she sold it in about a year.
I've had my NT1100 DCT for a year now. D mode is a complete waste of time as it changes up far too soon. For normal riding I use S1. The trick is to help the automatic shifting out with the occasional manual shift using the paddle shifters. If I want a sportier ride on some winding back roads then I use S2 mode. It does take some getting used to but you're used to it, it's great and I wouldn't want to back to a manual bike. Plus of course you can ride in manual mode and change gear with the paddle shifters.
Very nice review!
I hope Honda brings it to USA in the near future
I may consider it..
Thanks
I rode this bike few days ago. It is an amazing bike. :) Has the right amount of everything. Will upload it soon. :) You got my like. Keep the good work here.
Thank you so much for the video invested and edited perfectly
Thank you. A great review. We're hoping we'll get this in the States - soon!
Best recension ever. God job You are professional
Thank you for the great review! I ordered the dct version cant wait for it to arrive
Best review of DCT vs 6 Speed. We can’t yet buy the NT 1100 here in the US, but when we can I plan to trade my NC 750x 6 speed. Love the NC, but I do a fair amount of touring and the 100 hp would be welcome when passing on Interstate highway’s. Thanks again from a new subscriber.
I still love my 2016 ST1300 and 2018 GW DCT Tour. I'm keeping an eye on what Honda offers in the future, as ST1300 are getting older. Bring them back Honda!
I am more interested in where to get those spectacles!! It's very unique, and as someone who has worn glasses for the past 20yrs+ I can see why it's designed that way.
Anyone can share links/websites on this type of glasses?
Great review and honesty about the transmission. I love reviews that have no unexplained loyalty. I'm not sure if Honda are lowering their quality. I also think the instrument display is over complicated as are the switches. Thank you.
Thanks for the review. Hope it comes to the U.S.!
Did a test ride and 100% agree with your comments on the DCT, I would opt for the manual. But the NC750X have a perfect DCT. Maybe next year, let’s hope they change that…
Always good, honest and real world reviews
Stay safe
Just have to agree. Always watching it. Drop by buddy. :)
Enjoyed the review sir. Thank you!
Great review really appreciated
Thanks for your review. Very interesting.
Best regards.
Do you remember how the bike vibrates to the handlebars at different speeds as you ride them?
Excellent review - this bike is now on my list!
Good review ...keep it up.
Great review, thanks for sharing gentlemen. Greetings from Belgium 👍
One of the best reviews I have seen for the NT. How good will this bike be riding in high/ humid temperatures like in the Middle East?
Great reveiw video. That's a pretty good bike from Honda.
Great review, appreciate your insight and information from your test rides. It sounds like a great bike but the one place I see Honda has failed, in this class of touring bike it is the only one without a shaft drive and that is a big fail. My last three bikes have had shaft drives and I have no desire to go back cleaning and lubricating chains again.
It doesn't come with the side boxes here in Denmark. You have to buy them as extras.
"upest and downest position " ... Hahaha sounds funny 😂😂😂
Don't just criticize, give the correction as in 'uppermost position and lowest position.
@@kevinf-b5065 I am not criticising. I just said it sounds funny 😉
@@mihaipopescu5342 “Double Clutch” Transmission too; no criticism either, just amusing.
Excellent review! 👍
Thank you Sir!
Excellent and thorough review! The static view of the two bikes shows they have different tyres. Is this simply because Honda uses either of two suppliers or does the DCT version use a different tyre from the standard transmission?
Very good review .. thanks
This is an honest review! Thanks for that. I'm thinking between NT with quickshifter and Versys S. What is your opinion?
This bike looks a great, & loads standard kit for the £££ this bike won't let u down its a honda!!
cant be easy when you borrow bikes and the owners are watching your reports .....like you ive had a test of the nc750 with dct and although im not a big fan it worked pretty well on that machine it was reasonably dynamic and totally understandable in heavy traffic so i didnt disloike it till pushed really hard which to be fair is not what its for so i was pretty sure the 1100 would be decent ish .now although id prefer a manual i though id get a decent feel for the bike with the only demo they had with dct ...i wanted to try a manual 1100 but all they had was a dct ....i was shocked how bad it was beyond awful sucked all the joy out of what i think could be a nice bike ..its as u suggest confused in any modes and doesnt know what to do ..the only thing it does well is when youy pin it in a straight line from standstill ....the one i had was changing to 6th at 35mph in D mode and would not kick down on the gas it just tried to shake to peices in 6th rather than give ypou third or forth where it should be ..in sport mode it refused to shift to third at 50mph on even throttle ...going down the box was a disaster light years to late for any type of sports riding and slow junctions get a clonk into 1st gear where on amanual i may use 2nd or even third with bit of clutch ...only putting in to manial and using the paddles made any sense ......so what is the bloody point ? ......terrible awful sytem on this bike ... anyone with pulse must dispair at this disater of a set up.....i do think the bike may be pretty nice in a manual version and the comfort and the handling were good but after half an hour i just wated to drop a match in the petrol tank and get a taxi ..... put simply who ever signed off that dct programing on the 1100 should be taken out and shot.....im no luddite i like to try new tech but this is so wrong i had to check it wernt april 1st
message taken :)
Because I have a hard time fitting them in some of my helmets I have to ask: What’s the story with the side arms on your glasses? And . . . excellent review. I wish these were sold in North America, I suspect it would meet my needs, but I’m forced to buy something else.
I agree..great glasses...I am searching for these. I have had issues with my glasses also ...but got a great pair on a Chinese site... titanium and low-profile sides that don't break and bend to suit the helmet.... called Fonex. However, I am on the lookout for the glasses in this vid.
I'm also searching all the comments to see if anyone is thinking like us, unfortunately, doesn't seem like he's gonna answer since Walter had posted this 13 days ago and Shane 18 hours ago, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
guys, I've asked my fanclub and got the answer, it's flywear. @Walter Wilkins @Shane Dodgson
Hello Sir, I’m going to include this bike into my list for the test rides. Anyway I’m 192cm, How tall are you and would you pick this bike for long distance touring for yourself as a tall rider?
How tall is the reviewer?
is it stable until top speed? if it so is it stable with passenger and load?
Very good test drive! Be strong! Long live your President! Greetings from Germany.
Are you an Orbán fan? Let’s focus on the NT1100 please 😂
white or grey?
Which is will be better to buy DCT or Manual?
Personally I prefer the manual - but the bigger part of the customers here in Hungary and Europe buy DCT.
Wonder if anyone has tried this bike offroad? Curious if putting offroad tires on the bike , how good will it be than
Buy africa twin!
"Offroad"?! You're joking, right?
Sure there is a user-mode wich includes DCT settings?!
Its a factory reset that they send to the dealers workshop systems. They sent one out for my 2021 NC750X DCT to cure fueling/stalling issues. Perfect now.
This is very important to myself as well. The first generation DCT on the Africa Twin wasn’t very good, the newest version is a huge improvement. Before I’d buy the NT I’d want to make sure the DCT has the improved functionality. We need more information about this feature.
@@UncleWally3 I would personally wait until a proper Honda DCT upgrade. I don't think it will be long coming as there have been a fair few complaints on internet forums. Alternatively I have had good reports of the manual version with quickshifter.
@@UncleWally3 well this is the older AT engine setup and also doesn’t have the IMU as on the AT Adventure Sport which helps with the bike not changing gear while cornering.
Fine, but why won't Honda bring this to USA? Honda, if your strategy is to withhold the NT from the USA to steer us to buy the ridiculous Goldwing, it wont work. If you dont sell me an NT, my second choice will be something from Triumph, Yamaha or Suzuki.
That engine is pretty low powered for 1100cc, needs at least 25hp, for 2022, a cable clutch is not acceptable
It's a dedicated touring bike. Tractable power with a flat torque curve is a blessing in the real world. "More horsepower" isn't appealing to everyone. Buy a liter crotch rocket and leave actual everyday bikes alone already. 🙂

That windscreen adjustment is an embarrassment for Honda, how archaic and inconvenient. One handed adjustment has been available on several bikes for years, how did they go backward from previous model and create a design that requires you to stop and get off the bike to make an adjustment? Complete Failure Honda!!
why does it look so exceptionally boring
What a mistake having it in DCT...no thanks.
It’s available with manual gears too. I test rode it yesterday and it’s brilliant
