Thank you for going along the canal ways,i only ever get to see that in photo's. The DCT is great for stop and go traffic for guys like me who cannot lane split or lane filter. I do like the colors on that bike.
I felt exactly the same way about bumps the first time I rode the Africa Twin, I was hitting bumps on purpose, they're fun on that bike. Not so much on the GSX1000
Congratulations....am envious....am doing some saving i hope next year on April i will buy mine a used one,currently i own 250xr..400xr...my next move Africa twin...
I may have smaller feet but I never noticed the restricted foot placement on the right. I think you will adapt to the DCT at slow speeds. It is definitely different. I came from an HD Road King so that everything is very different.
You know what they say about men with big feet...you got some bigass feet. I've got a size 46 European, maybe an aftermarket exhaust (line?) would help with the lack of space. I'm sure you do get used to it, I'm just somewhat of a control freak when it comes to my bikes I feel. Definitely a different type of animal
Thanks man, Lows at 337.8, 0.126. Mid 127.37, 0.2197. High 337.8, 0.252, Saturation at 1.265 and 1.728 offset, then a little bit of tweaking the of the color curves. Just a bit of pointing both sides down, left a lil bit more than right
Ok so question for you that I have yet to see in any video...if you're cruising around town, or even on the highway, and you twist the throttle all the way back, will it downshift to an lower gear to accelerate quicker?
I'm 185-186 cm so about 6'1" and I was tiptoeing it whenever I wanted to put both my feet down. You can for sure get it lowered, don't know if it's an OEM option tho
there's a seat that brings it down to 870mm. I'm 5'7", I can only put one foot down at a time, but it is not too difficult. There is an Asian market version that is lower so it is possible to lower it.
I'm 5`6" / 167cm and I had no problems riding it with the regular saddle even if i tiptoed on one foot, but I bought the lower saddle and that's 1.5" lower. Just don't get the Adventure Sport, that's too high.
RideWyoming , hi I’m 164 cm tall & looking at buying the Aventure version , do think if had purchased this with a lower kit that it will be fine for my height? Appreciate your opinion. Regards Nik from Australia 🇦🇺
@@nikkastellorizios6585 hi. No I'm sorry. I'm 167cm and I can't even touch the ground with one foot in the adventure sport. You would be putting yourself at risk. Try the regular version at a dealership or find someone online near you who's willing to let you seat on it and perhaps allow you to make a lap. I have the regular version with the lower seat and I can get my foot flat down if I slide off the saddle a bit.
The buffeting was pretty unpleasant and I don't think the screen is adjustable; I'd get one of those clamp on extenders or a smaller windscreen if I were to own the bike
Haven't ridden either. I've been told by an owner of the versys 1000 that it's the most boring bike he's ever owned tho. I feel like I'd go for that low end V twin grunt of the V Strom over the Versys for sure, fkn love my SV650. The 270 degree crank on the Africa twin gives it a very playful character and the bike feels waay lighter than it is.

Yes if anyone is doing a review on an African Twin or an NC750/DCT you need to get up to at least 60mph and then squeeze the left brake leaver very hard for a test most important
You could and people do. I don't do it, unless it's demo days (I definitely prefer demo days in which you get to ride your own ride) because I have no intention of buying the bikes I ride anytime in the near future and would find it a bit of an asshole thing to do.
RidinDutch ok, was just wondering, why would you feel like an ass, we have no problem trying cars, even if the dealer knows that we will not buy, but the dealer knows that we may come back on a later date.
@@gryphongryph As negligible as it is, I'd feel bad for "wearing out" a bike that I wouldn't consider buying. On the other hand if I was considering a bike, I wouldn't think about buying it without test riding it first
@@bradt5427 There's a bunch of modes, not sure if you can turn it off but wouldn't let the back slide in the gravel too much on one of the stricter settings. Not sure if the old motorcyclist magazine has a review on it, but if they do I can guarantee that Ari has wheelied it.
I own a 2017 manual version and it really doesn’t have the power to do wheelies very good (atleast not power wheelies at all) it takes a lot of clutch and body English to get the front end in the air
Overkamp motors Delft, cool. Wij lagen vroeger met ons motorschip daar tegenover in de Buitenwatersloot. Moet zeggen dat ze voor hun gasten een mooie route hebben uitgezet zo langs die Rottemeren. Wel verdraaid jammer dat er nu op de meest onmogelijk plekken van die drempels liggen, zelfs vlak voor/na bochten. :( Er zullen er vast zijn geweest die zich er voorheen een beetje teveel misdragen hebben, LOL. Maar fraaie bike hoor! Of ikzelf ooit voor een DCT zou kiezen, ik weet het niet. Heb in het begin al problemen gehad met het gevoel geen controle te hebben als de ABS inkwam op mijn MT09. ;) Inmiddels wel aan gewend natuurlijk en werk er nu gewoon omheen. En in het uiterste geval trek ik de zekering er gewoon uit.
Hele fijne zaak, goeie mensen die daar werken. Als ik een Honda had, zou ik daar zeker vaker te vinden zijn. Zeker geen slechte route, al rij ik hem liever alleen als ik een bike aan het testen ben. Vette bike, no doubt. De DCT is ook wel smooth af, maar heb liever zelf meer controle, vooral op een meer fun gerichte adventure zoals deze.

"Look at them peasants shifting down... with their FEET hahaha" made me laugh
Would have made myself laugh, but in my daily life I'm a foot shifting peasant myself :/
The left lever it's actually a "parking brake" :D good work on the review!
Ended up having to use it when I parked it next to a canal. Thanks man!
270 degree crank...gives it the V-Twin sound/feel
Thank you for going along the canal ways,i only ever get to see that in photo's. The DCT is great for stop and go traffic for guys like me who cannot lane split or lane filter. I do like the colors on that bike.
It definitely looks pretty cool, but Holland's not the most exciting country to ride in.
It's a sad thing how stupid so many laws are :/
I'm probably going to get this after 2 or 3 years of riding a RE Himalayan. Adventure bikes are the way to go for sure.
They really are THE jack of all trades and it's great.
now that looks damn smooth
Smoothest gear shifting ever
@@RidinDutch37 gear shifting?.. not automatic gear?

Owh yah, I loved getting back on an adventure bike
amazing video! Very Nice! I bought this one yesterday!(Africa twin adventure sports) Have a good day!!

everything nice, bike, trip, cities, landscape and so on. (-: thanks
You are right about the Cross Plane Crank :)
Best thing you could do to a parallel twin
DCT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fokking mooie motor. Vooral de Adventure Sports, een van de mooiste bikes van afgelopen jaren wat mij betreft.
Jaman, sws de mooiste adventure van deze tijd
Great commentary mate.
Thanks man, appreciate it
Pls show more about the XJ Diversion, have the same bike, same color

Someone could tell me why the sports adventure has different fuel consumption then 1000L ???
Beautiful place...weird...but nice roads....good riding....nice Honda....I would...maybe one day....hondas done nice with the dct.....
Thanks, it is a very smooth transmission

How fast do they top out?
Ok so question for you that I have yet to see in any video...if you're cruising around town, or even on the highway, and you twist the throttle all the way back, will it downshift to an lower gear to accelerate quicker?
5:54 , it does
@@RidinDutch37 Haha awesome, missed that. Thanks!!
Depends what mode you are in , drive is slow to respond, sport modes each respond gradually/ Incrementally quicker both up shifting and down .
And, at any time you can utilize the paddle shifters to up / down shift !
Kon jij met beide voeten plat op grond terwijl je erop zat?
Nice bike 😍
It is
I'm 5'8" so is the bike too high or does Honda offer a lower height/ seat version?
I'm 185-186 cm so about 6'1" and I was tiptoeing it whenever I wanted to put both my feet down. You can for sure get it lowered, don't know if it's an OEM option tho

The buffeting was pretty unpleasant and I don't think the screen is adjustable; I'd get one of those clamp on extenders or a smaller windscreen if I were to own the bike
There are two different screens made by Honda but not adjustable
hoe vergelijkt deze motor tot een vstrom 1000 en een kawasaki versys 1000 ?
Haven't ridden either. I've been told by an owner of the versys 1000 that it's the most boring bike he's ever owned tho.

Dream bike.
One of them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@RidinDutch37 True. My dreamgarage would consist off a minimal of 20 cars and 36 bikes or something like that haha.
How do you actually rev bomb in a dct bike?
Hahaha love your priorities. Gotta put it in neutral I guess :/
you cant rev bomb, only in neutral and for that you must be stop meeeh....
I just bought one
what is the engine breaking like if you just close the throttle?
Nothing notable from what I remember.
On the non DCT version it slows down quite a bit and quickly. I haven't tried the DCT version, I own a standard shift version.
zo'n DCT lijkt me egt chill! heeft zo'n ding genoeg vermogen? goede review !
Yup, meer dan genoeg powah. Rijdt erg relaxed maar schakel toch wel liever zelf
Rijd nu een MT09 2020. maar mis wat comfort zo'n africa twin zit op me opties net zoals de multistrada , v-strom 1000.
