I have a 2021 atas es. Absolutely love it. It is heavy ish but I needed an off-road bike capable of doing highway in order to get to the off-road stuff and do the on road with comfort and reliability. I’ve done 2 BDR’s and lots of off-road motocamping with it and it’s great!
Sell the KTM...and buy an Africa twin.....you like it aye...come on bro do it :)..You love the DCT...You love the sound...The comfort...The build quality etc etc etc....GET ONE....And then tell everyone in your video that it was me that made you do it lol..Love you and your vids mate xoxo from New Zealand.
P.S. Get the 21 inch front for off road goodness :)...And come ride in New Zealand...its the best playground man...Watch Chris Birch "To the hut" video...yeah I know he rides KTM..but get your ass on an Africa Twin and get down here man xx
@@drsous6400jeezo get a room ffs. It’s an africa twin they literally have been the same for years. The worst tech in the category and buttons like an 80s games console .
Got. also one with 21“ Wheel from 2021 and love it a lot. Funny sentence was:“ a little bit of fuel consumtion. Says the Guy with the brabus 😂😂😂😂 i Like your Humor smokey 😀 greetings from Germany i love Belgium as a half belgian. Spend lot of time there. Eventuelly one day i will see you there and we do a Ride 😉
@@LifeofSmokey thats true😂 which Region are you? Im Mostar in the Ardenne around hamoir aywaille. And i want to say i Like your content 👌and your Natural funny way to communicate or Talk about things
This seems like such a good bike! I only passed my test 2 months ago so learning my craft on a Tracer 7GT but this will definetly be my next bike I think.
More fun and laughs in the Life of Smokey. Indicators/horn, picked up my NEW Stelvio yesterday after nine years with a Super Tenere, having the same issue, indicators are higher in the switch gear and keep beeeeping people, 😁😁.
I feel like I have this issue on every bike I ride. Trying to turn off the indicator and accidently pressing the horn instead. People around you giving you the look 🤣
Smokey, can you talk a little more about the differences in handling between 21 and 19 inch front wheels on the street and what you like better about the 21" wheel?
The 19inch throws the bike way faster into a corner , some like this feeling but I prefer to have a 21inch wheel. It doesn't throw the bike to the side when you turn the handlebar 😊
Hi Smokey, je zet de sportstand slechts in stand 1; als je de knop ingedrukt houdt zal je zien dat hij verspringt naar sportstand 2 en dan naar sportstand 3. Als je sportstand 3 rijd ben je verkocht :)
Smokey, you convinced me on getting a KTM 1290 SAS over a third GSA with that bedtime sexy time story analogy… now you are convincing me on the Africa twin as my second bike for distance… wonder what the bedtime sexy time reference would be for the Africa twin….
The Honda is like a nice combination of everything. It's the the most comfortable , it's not the best sound , it's not the fastest....but everything combined it's just so nice to ride 😊
@@LifeofSmokey if comfort is #1, your opinion? The military has damaged my body, so comfort is important. I’ve had two GSAs, and I don’t think they are that comfortable for distance. My KTM 1290 SAS is way worse for distance. Tempted to try the Ducati Multistrada V4 rally; I have heard good things of the wind management. Or the africa twin and just ride slow (below 90mph). Trying to avoid the BMW RT or Goldwing route as long as I can. I’m keeping the KTM tho, amazing for the daily Dallas, Texas driving I live in. Need a second for distance. Thanks
@@markkunkel7401 hahaha yes, in reality the screens are perfectly fine, the flickering is not visible to the naked eye. And I’m sure you’re a perfectly fine gentleman, we learn something new every day 🙌🏼
So it seems like “Honda boy” fucked around with your AT and just took it to his house. Damaged your bike. They should replace your pannier and if he did what I think. He should be fired. But other than being pissed about him damaging your bike. I like the AS with the 19’ front wheel. Either manual or DCT.
Yeah wasn't plugged in all the way so didn't charge my first phone. And my main phone also wasn't charged as I fell asleep without charing it at night 😂🙈
21 inch wheel model is the best looking! - Ive just just ordered one with all the extras and it will be ready in a few weeks- can not wait!!!
I like the first 1 with the smaller wheel the most.
21 inch wheel. Love it Smokey.

Awesome video, as usual! Hope to see more of the Africa Twin in the future. And take the "adventure" scooter off road!
21 inch all the way 😎😎

@Crsf84 If you'd ridden one you would have not posted that comment...maybe you rode the first Gen?...
@@Crsf84 Worst tech? Where is BMWs Dual Clutch? Where is their Apple Carplay and Android Auto?
@Waldo1122 and Hondas reliability. At least the africa twin doesn't have universal joints that sieze up

I'm aaaaaallllll the way up north 4km from the Netherlands 😊
@@LifeofSmokey no probs for me 😁 from Frankfurt quick Journey 😉
you know the day is saved when you get a new uncle smokey video. (=
This seems like such a good bike! I only passed my test 2 months ago so learning my craft on a Tracer 7GT but this will definetly be my next bike I think.
The one with the 21" front wheel! 👍🏻
You have sold this bike to me I am definitely gonna buy it now😊
Yessss! Try the new CBR600RR
I like the adventer sport but with that color.
Honda should have that blue on the adventure 🤩

Hey, smokey make 1 video on honda x-adv 750 off roading 🛵💨
That will be fun to watch
Always fun Smokey

WHAT!??? 3 sport modes??? 😳😳😳 Gotta try it today lol
Wish the Adventure sports with the smaller front wheel came with the same colour scheme as the one with the bigger front wheel.

I cant beleave you didnt try to wheelie the XADV 😂
Please share you're honest opinion on the X-ADV. Really like that one!
It's too much fun to be honest 😂. It even did really good on the highway lol
my dream bike
Why do the tft screens always seem to be flashing on the AT
Because his camera films more frames-per-second than the display’s refresh rate.
So it's not actually happening then. All videos I've seen do that. I'm just a caveman!

Nice👍
More XADV! We don't have it in the US. 🤥
You know the ATs have a usb plug next to the dash to charge your phone, right? 😅
Yeah wasn't plugged in all the way so didn't charge my first phone. And my main phone also wasn't charged as I fell asleep without charing it at night 😂🙈
@@LifeofSmokey god dangit! 😂
I think I am going to buy 21" non DCT non ES. I donno why I just feel it...
Hello
Day 3 Smokey donate me africa twin please 😢
I live in city, 19' will be my choice :)
