    I placed an order after you review this bike (I mean first impression). This bike is not so photogenic, it looks ugly in picture and video but it's a good looking bike in a flesh. You are right when you say if you're looking for an sporty bike, this is not the one, but for normal long distance cruising, this is perfect (my kind of riding). Can't wait to get mine... Thanks Mr Fish, always love your vids.

    Set to go head to head with the Versys 1000’s. Will probably do very well with all the loaded tech and DCT. But maybe it would do even better if Honda gave us a shaft drive as well (just like they used to). Not much better looking than a Dullville, but then again most adventure tourers are about as sexy as Ford Mondeo’s. Still, for munching up those miles, I’d certainly have one !

      From an owner of an R1200RT and a Ford Mondeo haha! I love the FM and its tight steering and suspension and handling and fuel economy,- even in the hills of NZ I get 8.1L/100kms on an 800km journey and still had 80kms dist to go! She is reliable, Euro designed and built in Belgium, been very reliable over 260,000kms! But the Beemer - should be relative to this video, also has great fuel economy at 4.8L/100kms or about 60mpg! And very similar looks to the NT1100.

      I made a test ride with the NT and it's not even close to sporty. Yes, it's fast (as long you stay close to legal limits) but the touring aspects is very, very big with this bike. Except if you want a custom luggage solution (because the side loaders are standard there is no aftermarket) or two person driving (because weight limit).

  • @williamcoulter5462
    @williamcoulter5462 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good review again , I have the Rebel 1100 and a new 2022 super cub coming from Dobles in Coulson but I am too short for the NT1100 so my choice of the Rebel is a keeper, it is a shame the EMU from the Africa Twin is not fitted so you need to watch those changes on bends with the DCT, I have now fitted the batwing screen to the Rebel and apart from the range it is a tourer for me. The 125 Super Cub is a runabout and a fun bike as I intend to do the NC500 this year with it just for fun. I saw your review on the Rebel which swung the choice for me last year and dropped lucky with Dobles as they had the right bike as a cancelled order so it only took 8 days to have it sitting at my door. Keep up the good work with your reviews I understand the new Honda thinking with a bike built to a price but retaining the quality by using established engines and concepts, electric screens costs a lot more shaft drives raise the price too much, and keeping the panniers slim allows the filtering.

  • @arwynjones3070
    @arwynjones3070 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tried a DCT one last week and it is the comfiest bike I have ever ridden! I am 5'8 and 29 inch leg. Didn't feel as heavy as I was expecting it to be. My bike is a an R1200R lc and is about the same weight and I felt this Honda was less bulky than the wide at the bottom Beemer. Screen was the best I've ever tried in 50 years of riding! Put it at its highest and it is amazing. Engine is a bit chuggy low down but not a problem. Not as quick or powerful as my R12 though but the tech figures explain that. Defo a contender!!

    Mr F, great review. I rode this very bike on Friday and would concur with your views. To me it’s a cooking model and a bike I couldn’t get excited about. As a commuter it would be ideal with DCT and very good road manners. I don’t commute these days. I’m looking at an Africa Twin to replace my GSA mostly for the DCT and ability for me to actually reach the ground with more than tiptoes. I’m 5’8” so no giant. Much as I like the GSA I’m less impressed by the build quality and service not least on warranty issues. After more than 17 years on BMWs time for a change. Oh, as for the seats, BMW offered the Komfort seat option for the original K100 range. I had one in 1986 and can confirm that the original seat was utterly appalling as in numbness setting in after barely 45 minutes. A marketing ploy they and others have exploited well.

    Nice bike and review; thinking of getting one, but wish it had the X-ADV rear brake on the handlebars. I've seen a video of an adaption using X-ADV parts - but don't know of anyone doing this in the UK. That's the only thing putting me off at the moment. Rear brake pedal I find difficult to feather for low speed with DCT.

    Thanks for the ride and review. I have a 2020 ATAS ES and have been wondering if swapping for the NT1100 would be right for me. You see I discovered after buying my ATAS that I don't really do much off road riding. So why have a bike with all that offroad technology? Why not have an Africa twin that has been engineered for the road, where I spend almost all my riding? The only drawback is that if I end up in a construction zone that is 20 miles of rough muddy gravel, I'd miss my ATAS and not sure how well the NT1100 would do on it. I used to have a BMW C650GT scooter and loved it, so maybe not such a bad thing.

    Very impressive bike Fish. I'd leave the Top Box on with a tank bag. Panniers get in the way when filtering through traffic. Bike would be close to perfect if it had shaft drive but at least it has a centre stand. Not a fan of DCT as it takes away too much control from the rider for my liking - premature change ups. Rival? RS /RT BMW'S for a lot more money which I'd go for if I had the money - shaft drive. I'm 5'8 so it might suit me more than an Africa Twin.

    This bike is for people that have in the garage a very old bike and want to start rideing again. For me they made it to killer all the 900cc bikes Tracer/Tiger/Multistrada and so on

    I would say that the Tiger 900 GT PRO would be a natural competitor (to the manual NT), it's not quite as powerful as the NT but is lighter. Cheers, Gordon

    I think this bike's closest rivals are the R1250RS, Versys 1000, V-Strom 1050 and Tracer 9 GT. If you like sitting upright, ride on the motorway lots, want to be comfortable and have no delusions of being some rugged off road hero then it's a decent option, especially if you want a DCT! I think I'd possibly rather have the BMW RS or V-Strom though, you either get a more powerful bike with shaft drive for a bit more with the RS or a cheaper bike that's lighter and a bit more powerful with the V-Strom.

    It’s true though isn’t it, most bikes have an un-comfort seat why? It’s a bit of a boring old Hector but being a Honda, it’s probably very efficient and very reliable 🥱. Nice review, I even subscribed and teased the like button.

    I just can't stop thinking that Honda should have produced a touring version of the CB1000R, not the Africa Twin. However, so pleased the bike has a centre stand, as so many bikes these days don't even have the capability to fit one as an optional extra or after market.

    Good panniers with the internal bags. The top case doesn't enhance the looks but they tend not to. Again, I like the internal bag. I like the TFT but it sounds fiddly. Not my type of bike, to be honest. I prefer your Africa Twin. Does the NT feel heavier than that because it is, isn't it?

    • @chrislayley4838
      @chrislayley4838 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The NT weighs the same as an AT Adventure Sport, 238kg or 248kg with DCT. I guess it’s more manageable as it’s lower though.

      The DCT also allows you to manually change gears. Gear changes are hugely better than a manual box with hand clutch. I've had 2 Hondas with DCT and I see no value in an archaic old manual gearbox. My DCT motorcycles (VFR 1200 DCT and XADV) my Audi and Mercedes AMG all with auto gearboxes. I don't understand why pulling in a clutch by hand and pushing your foot up and down makes any sense. But horses for courses. Now if my BMW F900XR had a DCT I'd be really happy. Hmmmm
