I'm hopefully picking up a 2016 model in rally colours. Only has 640kms on the clock so its virtually brand new. Good to know its great for the long term
nope. never had any breakdowns with the bike (except for once when wheel bearings broke) only problem i had was the need to replace the grounding wires due to corrosion. (dtc error 6-2) even with that i could still ride the bike with no issues. guess the most important thing is to not skip your routine maintenance.
Hi bro just to check the cost 1.8k service valve clearance and what else should we do? don't mind to share more new, rider here loving it on how smooth it is. What else is there to take note on servicing the bike which garage did you go to and also more on just daily commute to work. Thanks in advance.
Good video, I've been wondering what the long term reliability was like and if anyone was having issues with a common thing. I'm seriously considering buying a 2016 AT myself with 15,000 KM on it. It's in great shape. I rode a friends AT a few years ago and loved it. I currently have a DR650 and my old Harley Heritage Softail. I'd like to reduce what I have to maintain and find a bike that will be capable of easily running longer trips on pavement occasionally with a passenger and be equally at home doing 52KM of gravel road every day going to work. My DR650 is good for the gravel but falls short on the pavement and in my opinion isn't suited to having a passenger. My old Heritage is nice on the highway and can carry a passenger but it is NOT good on gravel roads. I'm hoping an AT will bridge those two worlds well. I subscribed too😁🍻
Thank you for the sub! Till date the AT has been superb in terms of reliability so far. Mostly pavements and then the occasional camping trips off road some bad falls but keeping it in good condition honestly wasn't too expensive at all. At about 140k mileage she feels like she's ready for another 140k! Pretty sure you will love this bike!
Giday Mate I had the same bikes as You have,I have a 2007 model Harley Davidson Heritage and have had 3 Suzuki dr 650s I am hoping to find the right bike to do All that I want, so I am now thinking about purchasing a Honda Africa Twin, have You already purchased a Honda Africa Twin if Yes are You happy with it All the Best stay safe and safe travels regards Brian

Nicely done man, always look forward to long-term reviews! Liked and Subbed!
Thanks Gary! More videos incoming!
Thanks for your review, good to get unbiased down to earth opinion.
You're welcome! Hope you find it useful! Thank you for watching!
Hope you're doing well.
Would you recommend getting a Lithium Battery Charger (2018 model) to carry on long trips; especially to remote areas?
Just to ask what riding glove is that looks sleek and not bulky 😅
hi bro.. im 166 in height. ok for me? n also, y u choose this instead of the adventure sports?

im thinking of getting either a AT/ATAS or a GS/GSA. still considering
Hey those are double take mirrors. go google them!
Have you experienced any fuel tank issues? Like power loss or rough idle. Read a lot of complaints.

The best is of course to download the manual and follow the servicing instructions! Thats what i used as a guideline!
Hi may i know what makes you decide to buy and use the termi exhaust? Thanks. :)
Hello! Amos prefers the termi exhaust over the other brands at the moment as he thinks that it looks and sounds better 😁👍👍
@@tri333ple oh i see thank you! Liked and subscribed.😊👍🏽
Kipidap!!
Hi! Niceeee. Just wanna know if the bike wobbles at high speed. As in the rear and the handling.
Not at all. Unless youre using some sort of off road tyre
@@tri333ple ooh nice. Coz I’ve a friend who said he saw his friend wobbling on the NS highway at high speeds. I wonder why… hmmmmm.
@@Umar.popmotif it might have those dual sport tyres bro, hard to say
Are your handlebars high enough to lanesplit without worries during peak hours?
yes my friend. they are high enough. until u meet two hiaces side by side close to each other 😂

hi did u change the the tyres to tubeless ? im thinking of getting the standard model but my only issues , it comes with tube tyres .
Yes i used to have the tubeless conversion. But am now back to using tubes. Pros and cons. Its convenient but you have to make sure its done properly
AT! All the way!💪🏼
AGREE!! But we are also excited to find any other great bikes like the Africa Twin!! Solid bikes!!!
@@tri333ple go! Amos & mark do more vids support you guys!👍🏼

Mark and Winston says " DO IT "
I have 100000km on mine, zero mechanical issues. I change the oil around every 5000km and oil filter at 10000km and clean airfilter around 10-15000km
Theres a bike in germany with 300000km.
Its a low compression engine so its built for longevity. Id happily buy a well maintained AT with over 100 000km.
Lololol.. U got bored since last year?
