Congrats for your license ! That’s nice, you can learn little by little and have fun before getting this “big” bike ! You gonna enjoy it and understand how amazing the Africa twin is ! Ride safe !
Awesome road great weather I have a cry adventure sport not been ridding it for a wile the roads are full of salt at the mo in the Uk the road your ridding looks so good and the bike sounds good I went from a zzr1400 to the African twin have always wanted one I miss the top end power but loving the low down torque ride safe greetings from Kent 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thank you very much ! The low down torque is what I am looking for and this bike is perfect for that ! You’re not lucky to not be able to ride ! Hope you can ride soon and enjoy it as I do !
Hows the Honda quickshifter working for you? Work pretty well on this bike? Does theirs work for shifting up and down or only up? Looking at picking up a 2020 AS but i dont THINK it has the quickshifter on it, unless it was standard by that year. Kind of hard to tell in the photos. Sounds great, looking forward to getting one to abuse myself.
Thanks for the comment ! It's working well, not as good as KTM's shifter but works well anyway, you can setup the feeling (Hard, Norman or Soft), so depending on your type of ride, you can adapt the sensitive response of the shifter which is great. It's been 1 year and a half that I have the bike now and I didn't have any issue yet. It is an UP&DOWN shifter ! To know if an Africa Twin with manual gearbox has quickshifter, search on google a picture of quickshifter to know how it looks like and identify it on the model you want to buy. -> On the gearbox selector at your foot, you identify the quickshifter with a cylinder on the spindle between the selector and the gearbox. I hope that was clear ! ✌
Honda Garage installed it and I’ve never looked to that setting so I have no idea, I guess I am on the basic standard setting made by Honda, but idk which one is the standard setting sorry 😂
Thank you ! I didn’t change anything, with time the sounds gets better and better of course, but there it’s mostly because I record the sound with my phone in the back bag, kinda close to the exhaust so that’s why it sounds good !
On the highway at 130km/h, yeah a little bit.. but that’s totally fine to me. Otherwise on classic roads 80-90km/h it’s good, nothing to say, it’s mostly very useful when it’s sunny and I love it
I never had any miss shifts, even between 1st and 2nd gear, I am happy about it, the only “sensible” point is between 5th and 6th gear, it’s not as smooth as the other gears, I don’t know why but it’s been reported like this from other AT users so I am not worried. About the motorcycle, overall I freaking love it ahah lot of torque, enough power, comfortable, able to travel and all, that’s what I am looking for. One of the good point to me was the dashboard, you have to get used to it but it’s awesome, having Apple Car or Android Auto on a motorcycle is amazing, I enjoy it a lot.
@@FrancoisBoquet I’m waiting for my 2022 basic model white color they said it will arrive December. I ordered outback mototech crash bars all ready it will be here before the bike 🤣
@@690adv2 Oh Nice ! Do you know what changes between 2021 and 2022 model apart from the colors pattern ? I don’t have any accessories apart from the shifter ahaha
Hey ! I have the original exhaust. At low revs, the sound isn’t that impressive or loud due to Euro 5 restrictions now. But with time sound gets better and at high revs or during acceleration the sound is really good ! The microphone on the vid amplifies the sound, but it’s really similar IRL ! Specially with the Quickshifter, this big “snap” noise when upshifting and downshifting is gorgeous !
Just got my License, gonna buy an old used bike soon, but one day I will get me an Africa Twin too. What a beautiful machine!

Hi question Your QShifter is set in menu (upp and down) on soft, middle or hard setting? Reg. Pawel
Honda Garage installed it and I’ve never looked to that setting so I have no idea, I guess I am on the basic standard setting made by Honda, but idk which one is the standard setting sorry 😂
I may be on the middle setting, it would be the more logical as a standard setting 🤷🏼♂️
Incroyable la sonorité ! C’est la ligne d’origine ? Boîte manuel ou DCT ? ✌🏻
Ligne d’origine et boîte manuelle avec shifter ! 🔥
Whenever you riding? Lovely place. Great sound. Did u do something to the exhaust? Sounds louder than mine
Thank you ! I didn’t change anything, with time the sounds gets better and better of course, but there it’s mostly because I record the sound with my phone in the back bag, kinda close to the exhaust so that’s why it sounds good !
May I ask where did you install the microphone?
The microphone was the iPhone dictaphone app in a sock, and in a backpack !
@@FrancoisBoquet Brilliant, thank you!
@@PiotrstrashcanŚmietnikPiotra you’re welcome !
How do u find the helmet? Does it buffet much with that windscreen?

@@690adv2 За какую сумму продают 2022?
Dude, wth was that at 1:35 ?^^
Супер супер! )
Thank you !
Does your bike have DCT? it seems to shift nicely
Nope ! Manual gearbox with Quickshifter
@@FrancoisBoquet what quickshifter do you have?
@@ben10bro22 I have the “standard” Quickshifter sold by Honda ! You can also find it on internet
Can you tell us what was the real consumption of this trip?
I have no idea ahah certainly close to 6,8-7.0L/100km with this driving
Which route is this?
It’s Route Léon Lachamp (Col de la Gineste) in the south of France !
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks !
Route Napoleon?
No, Route Léon Lachamp (Col de la Gineste) ! :)
Bonne conduite
Merci !
what about the sound in person ? i imagine how agressive it was roaring, these damn videos dont do justice
