- In today's motorcycle unboxing video I'm unboxing a brand new 2024 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin with DCT and electronic suspension. I'm assembling and review this new adventure sports motorcycle and installing the L3 Rally Package and the Aluminium Travel Package. The rally pack comes with an additional shift lever so you can use your feet as well to shift gears. I also install the battery and do a first cold start so you can hear the Africa Twin exhaust sound. I also do a little bit of adventurous riding through the Honda dealership to test it out. Honda is also bringing this 2024 Honda Africa Twin to Spain for me so I can ride it at a Honda event for 3 days in Bardenas Reales.

Make sure you LIKE , SUBSCRIBE and SHARE this video with all your friends , it helps me and the channel out a lot. And Honda might give me more motorcycles in the future 😅🥰 THANK YOU ALL!
Huge fan bro , just wanted to let you know that . As you try the Royel Enfield Bikes . You should try Bajaj Dominar 400 from India . I hope you will like it better the Himiliyan 450 . Hope u upload a review video on Bajaj Dominar 400 . 🙌
Have you already put engine oil and oil filter. Just asking????? Or all of this already there in the motorbike when deliver it to your honda shop?Are rhere also dot 4 brake fluids on the calipers??It also have the liquid coolant for the radiator?
Yes Honda 🎉
I really like the design of the Africa Twin, one of the best looking adventures out there IMO
I think the same 😎
Agreed 👍🏻
Would this motorbike look good to my height ? I’m planning to get 1 but I’m confused 🫤
@@Nomak-Armstrong-6ft-9 😂😂😂 is this your standard comment
@@borisbommen huh 🤔
I didn't know that Toni Kroos worked at Honda!!!😂😂
'You want to watch a guy while he's assembling a motorbike?' Hell no, what the heck.
'It's Smokey'. Getting a coffee and hitting the start button.
Bro 😁🙏❤️
Still one of the better looking ADV’s. Had an AT AS DCT for a couple years. Terrific bike. Terrific system. However, one doesn’t need a clutch lever… until one does. You know it when it happens. I returned to them, but have nothing bad to say about the DCT or the Africa Twin, apart from its top heaviness and the need for a backlit and/or less complicated left hand switch configuration.
If anyone complains about the PDI costs for a new bike, they need to watch one of your unboxing videos. What takes a skilled (and bike-specific experienced) mechanic two or three hours, would take me five or more, with lots of profanity. 😂
Thanks again for sharing!
🍻🍻🍻
The 19" front wheel will make it handle better on the freeway at speed than a 21" front wheel. I think keeping this bike on the pavement and touring is where it will shine! Comfort, dependability, and great fuel range!
Finally Africa Twin 👍I own a 1000 DCT for some years now, DCT is super great when you start to get used to it. It provides much more stability by shifting gears in corners and lots of fun on gravel roads. But don't be disappointed, it is tricky to lift the front wheel😅 Keep up the good work!
I have the rally package with a gear shifter so maybe in manual I can do a small wheelie , not sure 😁
Beautiful bike! Great video
got a africa twin as manual, and drove my friends rebel 1100 dct last week, in sports mode it was a real pleasure to drive although i always said no dct
Smokey, this HAS to be the best way to spend a day? Riding is of course up there, but to get all this new stuff to work on is like every Christmas, ever, all in one. I’m SO envious
You got that right! Only 1 mechanic was on holiday and the other one very busy. So had to figure some stuff out by myself. Spend a very long day there haha. But indeed it's so much fun 😁
Sehr gutes Video! Sehr gut gearbeitet! Danke dir für die tollen Eindrücke!
Thank you 😊🙏
You manually shift it with the buttons and it’s badass!
DCT has 2 clutches. Just no clutch hand lever. DCT best innovation in the past 50 years.
unless you are in the middle of African sahara, southamerican jungle or patagonian desert terrain in winter
@@PatricioGarcia1973 Good point. But any modern motorcycle that needs a computer for diagnosis is a bad choice. If adventuring in the areas you mention a 1980's GS is probably the wisest companion. Anything with fuel injection and an ECU is a recipe for disaster. DCT is no more or less reliable than any of the modern design elements in high tech motorcycles. My NT1100 has had zero issues but I live in Thailand and the riding conditions and available support is good. The only way I would take a trip to the remote areas you mentioned is if I had a satellite phone and a buddy with planes and helicopters! 😁 Or a chase truck with all the spares and tools like in the Paris Dakar! In Thailand years ago my BMW R1100RT suddenly stopped,,, in the middle of nowhere. With some minor investigation it was not getting fuel. I finally gave up called a truck and flew home. The BMW repair dealer fixed it in about 5 seconds. The fuel injector relay had worked it's, way lose. He pushed it back in and it was perfect. Except for a costly truck trip and airline ticket! All fir a loose relay. Obvious I'm not an accomplished mechanic and at 70 yrs old not keen to do roadside work in 40 degree C 100+ F. So my roadside repair efforts is limited before calling out the cavalry. 😁
Those shipping crates make great work benches
They have really looked after you mate , carl uk 🇬🇧 it does look nice
Glad you are successful with your vlogs, you are still improving, Proud that you follow your path and succeed. Curious you will like the DCT👏
Wow Smokey!! This gotta be one of your best, & funniest 😅, pieces, bravo.
Would you please, in the near future, make a more elaborate vid on those lovely "air deflectors", & if they would fit also, 23 my crf 1100 ?!
Thanks bro & keep them coming 👍
Well I have been riding the bike this weekend , not sure if they help or not haha. Mechanic tested it and said it does help a lot 😁
These assembles always entertaining with a sence of humor 😅
Thanks m8! 😁👌
Its very good bike😊
I want to build my Honda right out of the box like that!
Love Honda Bikes ❤. Simple and Reliable
Awesome!!!!😎
Thanks ✌️
Prachtige kleurstelling
Between the GS1300 and this Africa Twins 1100, I would pick the Africa Twins.
Because they look like a ninja 🥷 on adventure
I want that bike. I think the DCT is a great option. Every other bike has a clutch so why not.
You are such a character Smokey , loving your videos,
I was hoping for the new AT with 19" front wheel, however, i understand why you chose this one 😏
Looking forward to the desert videos 🤑
Coming soon! Thanks for the support bro! 😎👌🙏
I like the DCT on my NC750X 😁, nice AT
I love this bike...But im not sure what transmission to get DCT is heavy and complex...Please help
I cannot contain my jealousy! Beautiful bike. Can't wait for Spain!
You and me both! 😁
Along with ABS are the brakes interlink like the Honda Gold Wing ?
I’ve owned many bikes over my 72 years of living and over fifty years of riding. Still own three bikes and the AT DCT is one of my favorites - by far. But, don’t let anyone tell you the DCT is an automatic, it took me months and much distance over varied terrain to unlock its secrets. Hated it at first, love it now. Hoping Honda will put out a 2025 edition with subtle (ol’fart) graphics, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot functionality.
I'm in the plane back now...REALLY enjoyed riding DCT in the mountains. 😁✌️
Smokey, one of the best motorcycle TH-camrs. Keep up the good work 👍🏻. Honda gives you wings 🪽
I appreciate that! 😁🔥🙏
Thank you Smokey for your videos and humor! (don't change when you get to 1, 2....M subscribers!), I watch them when I have the chance. This one was important to me because I have a 2017 AT DCT... and a AT video by uncle Smokey is special! haha. Mine has 45000 km and never had any issue. I go to Brussels 3 times per week and pass between traffic, even though it is not design for that, it does it very well, just the front a little heavy and difficult to manipulate (between the cars...hehe), maybe the 21" Wheel? Anyway, as I said it is not the ideal bike to ride in the city but even tough that, it does it exceptionally good!! Waiting for the adaptive cruise control and the change on the bulky handlebar controls to get the new one! Ride safe!!
That's awesome 😁. And no worries I won't change....this is who I am , I can't pretend to be somebody else , gives me stress haha.
It must feel nice to be taking cared by the best company in the world ! They do spoil you! Congrats!
Yes they do! First collaboration so hopefully they enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed myself working on it 😁.
@@LifeofSmokey Wish you all the best !
🤣👍
... My fantastic ATAS DCT for Bardenas ans others offroad countries! 🤗
I like it, but not the DCT. I cannot believe that they no longer give you the choice.
As far as I know you can still order the normal one in red and black with the clutch 😊
Nice👍
It's great innovation vehicle industry eclurch technology 👏 🎉
damn, went couple of time to Honda and never saw them on the dealer's floor, guess that is good sign, absolutely gorgeous machine, every one is saying AT is boring but I am not sure if I agree, nice unboxing, want to see more of it, cheers V!
Will bring more to the table 😁🙏. Thanks for watching!
Honda.❤
Hey Smokey love your videos and sense of humor.
A quick question, Honda Australia is offering 4 grands off on their 2023 models. I'm planning to buy a new ATAS manual. Would you buy the 2023 model saving 4 thousands dollars or go for the 2024 model?
Thanks a lot man
I'm an idiot always spending way to much money on things I don't need. It's important to find everything they change about the 2023 vs 2024 model. If it's not horsepower or a big amount of changes it's not worth the money to be honest. Also why I'm keeping my Super Adventure R , new one has different color and they changed the indicator button 😁
@@LifeofSmokey thanks mate. I’m just as idiot as you’re when it comes to spending fortunately because why not. 😁 I’m then going for the 2023 model and save 4K.
Had ik dat geweten dan was ik een kijkje komen nemen, is 5min van mijn deur
Altijd welkom :-)
You couldn’t find a Africa Twin in the US showrooms the last 4 years. I hope Honda sends more than just one per dealer like they usually do with their bikes.
Hey Smokey please can you rewiew a Honda vfr 1200 crosstourer I know it is a bit older but that thing is a beast👍
Wish I could review every motorcycle in the world :-). Sadly when there is not much interest in a certain motorcycle or topic and I spend a couple days of work and money on it , I go broke if it doesn't get a good amount of views. But when it fits , for example next to a new one I will do it :-)
❤
Hi. Did you weigh the bike once all the upgrades (rally kit) and accessories have been fitted?
No , it's all lightweight aluminium. Didn't really mount anything very heavy 😁
After 50k kms, I think, the DCT is the best part of the HAT.
Hey do with continental GT 650 (unboxing video)
Have you already put engine oil and oil filter. Just asking????? Or all of this already there in the motorbike when deliver it to your honda shop?Are rhere also dot 4 brake fluids on the calipers??It also have the liquid coolant for the radiator?
Yes all is done as the bike was already started at the factory 😁
@@LifeofSmokey ok thank you
Are they going to put the hondas new cheaper auto to this model it certainly cheaper than dct smokey
nice bike with nice dct but i don't like the vibrations of the engine
The mirrors are packed that way to visually confirm one left and one right mirror. Prevents getting 2 left or 2 right in the box.
Aha! Didn't know that 😳. Thanks for the info!
I want one ☝️
Which one is you favorite bro
Dude I want that T-shirt link please 🙏
……I’m sensing, this is possibly going to become your favourite bike….let’s see hey? Can’t believe Honda has added all those lovel parts for this demo, for you. V smart move on their behalf.
Oh no , can't beat my 160Hp LC8 engine in my KTM 1290 Super Adventure. If Honda builds a v-twin Super Africa Twin with 160hp and 140Nm , then we talk again 😁
the amount of plastic and cardboard used on this delivery is a metaphor of insult toward European emission laws. and i love it
😂😂😂 I was thinking the same!
I will subscribe when you do a “oooo” “niiiice” “look at that” count in the coroner….
Deal 😁👌
You have my word! 😏
Finally you got your hands on one…..
T-Shirt give away time!!!!
I was planning on that!! But I had so much work to do we left the store at like 9pm that evening and totally forgot about it! I'm planning on doing more giveaways 😁
What you think is that large front wheel problem? I want to use Africa only on road? Is it look ugly that thin tyre?
Not ugly no , 19 just handles better and responds faster as the 21 😁
@@LifeofSmokey i am thinking to by Africa, not adv, just that big thin front wheel 🫣🫣🫣 What do you think When will there be a new model?
IM SURPRISED NO GOLD RIMS? In Canada we do .
Was just wondering if you used a torque wrench on those nuts and bolts?
Been a mechanic for so many years I have a torque wrench build into my arms 😁.
But after me the Honda certified technician made sure everything is set to standars before it was send to Spain 😊
@@LifeofSmokey yes you do get a feel for things. Like 5nm is just a small nip of the wrist lol
I rarely turn a righty tighty into a righty loosy 😂
My wife is a woman of color.. she has beautiful Africa twins 😊😅
😂👌
No torqe wrench?
I worked for many years as a mechanic and technician. My hands and feeling are almost as precise as a torque wrench 😁. But no just kidding , after I'm done with the video every bolt and nut will be looked after by a Honda certified technician 😉
🤗
Honda a du me rembourser mon Africa Twin adventure sport neuve car il y avait un défaut d'alignement des flancs. L'écran aussi n'était pas perpendiculaire à l'axe de la moto. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi Honda ne rectifie pas le problème car à priori je ne suis pas le seul à voir le poste de pilotage de travers !!!
6:38. 😂😂😂😂
That is still not a Goldwing..... But I forgive you..... since I just bought an Africa Twin....the legendary 1993 XRV 750 RD07 .... wheeeee..... yours is also kind of nice..... ;-)
Really looking forward to what you think of a clutchless bike....At this moment I find it very weird as in my experience you use a clutch way more than a brake when offroading.....
Congrats on yours 😁.
The only pre-owned Africa twins you will ever find are DCT. Enough said
DCT, not for me.
Why not ? 🧐
@@jmpb3487 because I dislike all automatic gearing, I want to control the bike. Especially offroading. But this is my personal preference
@@MrPaulo1400 You can always only have manual mode. This is what I do all the time offroad with paddles.
This, replacing the foot selector and the hand clutch.
After 30 years of good old mechanical gearbox, since 2 years I appreciate the DCT for Africa in these conditions.
@@jmpb3487 not for me, I tried the DCT to have an idea and it was clear for me after I gave the bike back that I don't want it, and I have 20 years of driving motorcycles and still loving my clutch 😁
DCT is awesome. My wife has NC750X DCT and it's as fast as my Kawasaki Veryss 1000 SE LT+ with doublel of HP.
DCT make it so much quicker...
I was against the idea until I brought her new bike hone from the dealership.
My next bike will be DCT for sure.
What’s your height brother
Hi 🎉bro
Hello
When connecting or disconnecting a battery, always start with the positive terminal. Learn something.
Why no central stand for big price?
Makes it even bigger price? 😁
Hey smokey when you're gonna bring the BMW m1000xr 🙄🙄
Customer bikes are being delivered already but no press fleet bike just yet 😭. Been riding the M1000RR and have some videos ready for that in the next couple of days. 😅
left lever protector braket easy broken
Wait - Honda picked up the phone and now you wear a t-shirt? 🤣
Haha no I walked in with a Smokey Bubbles t-shirt but I bought a Honda t-shirt as I wear shirts to find the brands I unbox anyway :-)
i would really have dilemma to choose between this one and Super Adventure 1290s ... and i know i know best answer is to have both of them but life is pretty boring when u are poor :)
Not a big dilemma. What do you want? If you want a more sporty bike buy the 160 bhp 1290. If you want more comfort for you and your passenger buy the HAT with DCT.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Me la regalas? Sueño con esa moto .
Ik zou met die banden de woestijn niet in gaan.😅
De Spaanse woestijn zal wel meevallen 😅
@@LifeofSmokey 😂😂
Dat bijgeleverd gereedschap is precies al een halve eeuw hetzelfde 😅
Ik had net hetzelfde idee toen ik het open deed haha
Varadero 2004 same.
How is it possible that this bike is not the adventure sports, even so, has the electronic suspension?!?!?
First collaboration and this is a better offroad bike for me in Spain next week 😊
Honda, blasphemy!!! I thought you stood with the euro bikes 😉
Haha I owned over 10 Honda cars , Type R , VTEC the whole business. And over 40 mopeds to. I even have a new CRF110 and 125 Hunter Cub from Japan in my garage. I have always been a Honda guy 😁. But also orange family haha
Red lock-tight needs to be activated....
nothing to do with the colour of the loctite, its what materials the loctite is being applied mainly e.g. inactive materials. However an activator will shorten the cure time and assists in cold temepratures and large gaps between the material surfaces.
I love my Africa Twin, but a motorcycle should always have a clutch!
Ugh. DCT. What a mood killer. Well, the five ladies in the world with 34 inch inseams need bikes too.
😂😂😂👌
i dont like spoke
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
244 kg for adventure bike, let it sink…
Это тот тип мото ,который не нужен.

That bike is even Uglier than the BMW F 900GS.
