    Congratulations on the video. In the last twenty years, I have had three BMW GS and three Ducati Multistrada, but I got tired of the weight and the lack of maneuverability, so this video greatly influenced me in my decision to buy the CRF 1100L DCT. I'm 50 years old, 177 cm and 79 kg. I use the motorcycle almost daily to go to work and go for a walk. In November I took a 2400 km trip with my Africa twin and it was fantastic to have such an easy and fun bike. Here in Brazil there are very beautiful places in the mountains, beaches and parks. However, sometimes the roads suffer from poor maintenance and are almost off roads, which is delightful in an Africa Twin. Thank you very much.

      Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It’s amazing to hear how the CRF 1100L DCT has brought so much enjoyment and versatility to your rides. It sounds like you’ve made the perfect choice for both your daily commute and those incredible trips-2400 km must have been an unforgettable adventure! Brazil’s mix of mountains, beaches, and challenging roads is a dream for any rider, and the Africa Twin is definitely built for it. I’m so glad the video helped with your decision-wishing you many more fantastic rides ahead! 🌟🏍️✨#

    Im 230lbs 6'1", I find the bike far to heavy. Partly because im an off road biker, KDX 220 or CRF 450 kinda guy... These adv bikes are ridiculously heavy...
    Yet I do love my 23 AT DCT because its extremely comfortable. Often spend 10 to 12 hours riding all over western Canada, and it's amazingly comfy. A major reason it's so comfortable is the dirt bike riding position. U can stand up fully and ride down the highway. Far better than my numerous other street bikes over the yrs...
    Im hooked on this CRF1100. It will take u where u wanna go.

    One comment about the self-cancelling indicators: They cancel themselves after 150 meters - which is too soon for me. So you can switch off the self cancelling in the main configuration menu, which I did. Another comment about the heated grips: At least in Germany they are factory standard for the bigger AT Adventure Sports. You can get them as an option for the normal Africa Twin, which I did. The advantage of the original Honda heated grips over some aftermarket parts: the Honda grip integrate into the bike's electronic and can be controlled with the bike's controls. You do not need extra buttons installed at your handbar.

      Thanks for the insights! The 150-meter limit on self-cancelling indicators can definitely feel a bit short, so it’s great to know there’s an option to turn it off in the settings. And you're spot on about the Honda heated grips-they integrate so seamlessly with the bike’s controls, which really keeps the setup clean. Appreciate you sharing these tips!

    I got the DCT (not the Adventure Sport Model) and I do like it, alot. Commuting in the city it is practical and the shifting is smooth. I've owned it a couple of years already and haven't really taken it off road because I wanted to pay it off first before adding the crash bars. I should have them on in a couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, I miss shifting but I'm over 50 now so it's about the comfort for me

    After 35k km I can say the DCT is the best on this bike. Compare to the other bigger ADVs(BMW,KTM,Ducati,Triumph) I've tried them, this gives the biggest place for you and your passenger, and the smoothest gear changes. So some way is the best, it just need around +30bhp. :). ...and can stall :)

    I'm very much looking forward to my Dave Thorpe off road adventure course at the end of this month. I'm gonna learn how to handle the DCT bike off road & them when I come home I'm going to have the confidence and ability to just get on mine & ride it. That's not to say I'm not touching mine till then, but I feel like I'm going to get so much benefit riding off road round Exmoor that I can apply to my horrifically potholed & gravelly drive & be able to get past all my neighbours' BMWs without crashing into them! After that I'm going to do an advanced motorist's course to get my road skills back before setting off round Ireland in the summer. It's an amazing bike, and I'm gonna have a blast.

      Returning to this review after watching an atrocious "review" elsewhere where a normally well informed and thorough reviewer just came at it from the POV of not reading the manual, not finding out how to use it, & just shrugging and saying they didn't know why anyone would want DCT - and then refusing to read the answers to his questions.
      This is the way, this is how to do a meaningful review - you rode this bike extensively over a number of days and went in depth with it.

    Good video as usual Vanessa🙂 I have had my Africa Twin AS for just over a year now, brand new in 2023. I have put 26000km on it and it is the best bike I have ever had in my 40 years of riding. I have zero interest in ever having a DCT though, I spent 20 years on the road with my truck and most of it was with an 18 speed transmission so shifting a 6 speed is child's play and I want all the control. If I get so lazy that I don't want to shift a silky smooth 6 speed it is time I quit riding. The self cancelling turn signals are useless on it though so shut that feature off very soon after I got it. The seat I found to be the most uncomfortable damn thing ever put on a motorcycle if its a bike you spend hours sitting on, I cured that issue over the winter and redone the foam on the front and rear to flatten out the seating platform and recovered them both. The wind protection on this bike is far better than my Heritage Softail and more comfortable to ride in general really. I took a holiday last summer and rode up past the arctic circle, heavily loaded and the bike was flawless in the way it performed for the just over 8000km (5000 miles) of the trip.

      I think the answer to that is very personal based on the sort of riding that you want to do and how your body feels. But for me I would sway to the 900 largely because of the confidence the reduce weight gives me, but yet you still have all the power and electrical comforts.

      For what it's worth, I have the Aprilia Mana 850 and it's an automatic cvt transmission. I don't miss the gears much at all. I wonder if the DCT has manual override like my bike does. It's nice to slap the gear lever to downshift for engine braking (though thats also automatic too) so there's no true 'coasting' with this set up. Once you roll off, it starts to downshift. I wonder if the DCT is any different.

    I need a bike for city and highway commutes here in Texas. I don't foresee myself going on rough terrains, so I was thinking of buying the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT. But, after examining the Africa Twin on TH-cam, I have now decided to buy the Twin. I think the Twin is a safer ride in heavy rain, and it has more pleasant aesthetics than the Rebel. I think the Twin will do fine for city rides at 30 mph as well as 85 mph on the highway. Please let me know if you think I am wrong and that I should get the Rebel 1100 instead.

I am going to purchase one very soon (and I let you know when I do). I do not have your level of skills and so I am going to be extra slow and stay within the city limits for the first 6 months before going on the highway.

    It is not the ADV for me, mostly because I like changing gears. I do have friend that has one and he goes on some very rough rides. I have a Pan Am, I'm also 183cm, 115kg, big strong 61 year old. I did a lot of motocross and enduro in the late 80's and early 90's on a vintage motocross bike. I'm also some what broken from crashing 30+ years ago a few times. I think if you treat the big ADV's like a truck on two wheels, you can ride them off road, just don't be silly. Then I didn't get the Pan Am for dirt riding, I use it as a commuter in the city of Melbourne Australia, an all roads sports tourer and a very occasional off road track with 50/50 tires, although 95% of it's riding is with the 80/20 tires. Recently my knees have become bone on bone, no cartridge or meniscus remaining and I need some knee replacements, so no dirt riding for 12 months, with 6 months for each knee reconstruction. That will not stop me from riding!

I sat on a 2019 African Twin Adv and it was too high with stock seat and supension. Anything over 31.5" starts to not be comfortable. the 2022 African Twin seat height Standard position 34.3 inches/Low position 33.5 inches. A lower seat cuts 1.18" which gets you to 32.3". I would need to cut the seat down orlower suspension or get custom lower seat (and may be very uncomfortable).. Sure I could ride it at 33.5 inches, but not desirable for me.

    most important.. what is your bank account?? If you have an endless supply of money, then you can buy whatever you want and then buy something else. My first view for me to you. TH-cam told me. Nice explanation. Better than my 94 goldwing 1500 for off road. ALL motorcycle riding is adventure riding. Street or trail. thanks. 🙂

    As much as I adore the Africa twin (still unsure between this and a couple more) it’s nothing compared to the views!!! What a backdrop/location!!!

    Honda seems to think riders are too stupid to choose their own gears. They tried automatic trans many years ago & failed.
