Too much talking!!
I’ve decided to go with the AT, but you’d be surprised how hard a base non-DCT is to find
T7 is the best bang for buck adv bike out there. Africa Twin is better but more expensive
Once you find an actual T7 for sale, the price will be exactly the same as a base AT. Dealer markups put a T7 at out the door for $14K. For that realistic price, the AT wins all day every day. You can find a 2016-2018 used AT for under $10K if you look far enough. I bought a 2017 AT DCT with 3K miles for $8500. Best bike decision I ever made. And yest, the DCT is great in all situations, especially solo offroad.
I have a 2020 ATASes since new, with 21,000kms now. DCT is actually something I wouldn't change now for slaying highways and fire/forestry roads for multi-week trips. This from a dirt rider of forty years, who loves third peddling my Z06 and Boss. DCT makes life so easy and enjoyable, but I don't tight single track this bike in my Rockies. Electronic suspension was the biggest surprise? It's always valved to my riding conditions (dirt, gravel,tarmac), or weight (panniers, and or pillion), at the toggle of a switch. Makes this bike great in most any conditions, and easier/ more comfortable and painless in seconds. Literally! I can get 450+ km per tank, and Google map directions through my Cardo headset. Phone calls patched through bike or send call commands on the fly. This is a touring bike that will go offroad! Put put some good tires on it first. Mitas E07's or similar, makes it twice as good in handling, and extremely compliant over mountain passes, and through BC forests. It's been extremely reliable, like Honda's tend to be. It wasn't cheap, but the value was definitely delivered in this bike! Three of us own them, and joked last summer, "if stolen, we'd be headed to Honda for another that day". And we have plenty of toys. Just can't live without an AT once you get one! Cheers, from Canada 🇨🇦
I owned a 2017 AT and couldn't get used to the soft suspension, brake dive, vague cornering and sold the bike pretty quickly. I regretted selling it because in spite of it's flaws it was a lot of fun to ride. I recently bought a 2020 AT standard version and for the 99% street riding that I do the 2020 is better than the 2017 in almost every way; better suspension, more powerful and punchy engine, and cruise control. I didn't think I wanted all the tech but I actually enjoy learning how to use it and seeing what it can do. The AT and T7 are both good bikes and I would like to have both.
You can look all you want if you are honest about it the africa twin is the ultimate all rounder for anything you want to do.
If you love pressing buttons and like to watch your plastics explode when you lay it down get the African lol just sold mine
I seem to always be looking at bikes in 2 different “categories” always find it amusing that most act like no one is trying to decide between an 890 Adventure R, Husky 701, and a 1250GS
You just said it mate. Any single bike can travel the world 🌍. What is the best bike to travel? The one in your garage. You just need to be passionate, be perseverant, and love the adventure. A woman from the Netherlands proof that. Taking a 300 L from Ecuador to Sierra Leone as we speak. If you got the money for a GS, go get it. If not, well, there is a lot of options for a good price. Take care and enjoy your ride.
T7
africa twin was best 16/17 after that its gs crap sold my got t7 ftw road allover the cuntry on t7 perfect for evrything
Damn, who does not love motorcycle reviews filmed in the office? 🗿
African twin 100 # Too much ! Would LOVE BOTH! Bought Yamaha tenere ! VERY HAPPY!
World Raid over AT any day!!
Africa is a TRUE ADVENTURE bike that means for the average rider= 400-500km on roads 20% off road if needed (I have made 100% off road trip on my bike Africa 1100)
You fluffed the crap out of that intro, just compare the two damn bikes and get over yourself lol
still have a 17 AT and love it, love the simplicity, decent motor, no fuss, no problems
Loved this! Comparing a new YT 700 to a 2019 Africa Twin. Thanks for the help!
