I can remove and replace my Transalp air filter in about 20 minutes without busting a gut. Pro tip.... Clip the locating tabs off the panels that run from the fuel tank to the dashboard. It enables the tank to be lifted without requiring removal of the inner panels and the dashboard. Makes air filter changes very simple. 👍
I don´t know what it is with you guys, but if I see a new video uploaded, I am always looking forward to watching it and it is always such a good vibe. I am not even interested in getting the Transalp or Africa Twin currently, but watching you ride and talk about bikes brings me joy. I hope, one day I manage to get to Australia and ride in the Outback myself. Until then I enjoy your videos.
My dealer let me sit on a Transalp that had already been sold back in the shop. (They are selling before hitting the dealership floors) The ergos are impressively good. For the price they will give bikes like the KTM 890 Adventure Standard and the T7 some trouble because the bike is rideable for more people. I went with a T7, which will replace my 890, but if there had been a Transalp available to purchase, I might be on Team Red instead of Team Blue. That being said I'm loving the T7, no regrets.
Thanks for another great vid! Takeaway for those considering a Transalp is that Daryl’s bikes do not have stock suspension- which is “shockingly” under sprung and poorly damped. If you’re considering one factor in a full rebuild with replacement springs front and back and revalve. Or stick to riding on smooth asphalt and lower speed.
Glad to see the new transalp on the channel- I'm very excited to see how it stacks up against the T7 in the next year. Here in the US we can only get the transalp in Black- which drives me nuts. If we can get it in the classic paint like here I would have bought one already.
What an absolutely awesome trip. I own a 2022 AT, and the 2024 upgrades are exactly what it needed (and what i wished were available before). Especially the adjustable screen, and option for electronic suspension. Hope that the screen is somehow retrofitable to the previous models. And yeah, quick shifter is a no-brainer when getting the bike! Its a blast.
Hello Dave; WOW! What an adventure, so good to have support and other riders around you to enjoy the amazing Outback! The bikes were fantastic and it just proves how good the Hondas were. Thank you for excellent production; David...Adelaide...Triumph Scrambler 1200X
Good fun I'm over working in WA on a grader today on roads that look the same once iv got money behind me for a run like this my de800 will be taking me across Great video once again love watch you mad blokes
Would love to see another video showing them being ridden on some challenging terrain. Some true feedback on how they handle beyond smooth fast dirt roads, and how the updates allow them to keep up with the competition !
40 minutes? 20 mins? 7 minutes Marty T?? To replace the air filter? I've only done mine once (at 13k kms, now at 15k) and I took my time, fiddled about with the new bike and so on, but it ended up taking me HOURS! I worked on bikes for many years, and wasn't working at a pro pace at all, but it was mammoth, removing/refitting everything the 'standard' way. Mind you, with over 2,500 kms on dirt (mostly with no-one ahead) the stock paper filter wasn't all that dirty, I must say. But I counted ten panels, and although I didn't count them exactly, there would have been roughly 50 fasteners (maybe more, including all the little push-pins)! 9 just to open the airbox, and I think 6 more to remove the element. My 750 Elefant's filter is under the tank, which has to come off to access it, and also involves a lot of fairing removal (if you don't want to compromise the tank's paint) but when you get there, the box opens with a couple of rubber bands, after which the element just pulls away. The Transalp's is much madder. Like Fort Knox once you finally get there! Crazy. My 1098S Ducati doesn't take that long, even though it requires removal of most of the bodywork from the front of the bike, with the 'snorkels' running up under the headlight, and obscuring the filter at their rear end. And at 104k kms on that, the K & N has been cleaned many times... So thank you Marty for the tip. Next time I will look critically at that idea with the cover around the front of the tank, as the extent of work required to access the Honda's air filter is bonkers, for a bike which is meant to go off the bitumen. And when you have half the bike spread around you, and are finally ready to pivot the tank up? Yes, two more hidden 'mystery' screws still retaining it. It's like 'Where's Wally?' under there. But - it is a great bike, and better than I felt after the initial test ride, which felt a little 'meh'. It has really 'grown on me' over the last nine months. One handy tip I found was reversing the handlebar risers, which improves the steering feel by moving the 'bars forward about 20mm, and takes away the 'tiller' feel of the stock alignment. I like it better for standing up too, at just off 5' 10", with the 'bars also rotated forward a little, although now at 71 I sit down mostly. 😁
What a great trip, love them africa twins. A trip away with Daryl's crew is very high on my list ..a must do trip. Thanks for another great video dave 👌🍻
The transalp seems like a bigger 500x. Seems good. Im not a fan of removing a fuel tank to get to an air filter though. This is one thing i like about the T7. I gotta say im deeply in love with the T7.
Love the Africa Twins. Would have been interesting to include the top line DCT model with 19" wheel as a direct comparison during the trip with these conditions. I reckon it would have done just fine.
I was like, what took him so long to release this video (of course riding with ladies up north does slow things down ;)? Now I know! Awesome video and editing. 👍
A good bit of country to ride through , D Beattie has set up a good touring camp rig to traverse the country . When does the EXTREME TEST start ? You've travelled a route that people in regular road cars do .
I owned a 2020 AT for 2yrs. The power was fun, but the weight is not worth the power for where I ride off road. I found the suspension wasn't up to the task often. I have sold it and picked up a 300cc 2 stroke to meet my off road needs. Ultimately, I found the AT did neither on or off road riding particularly well.
Was the Transalp suspension stock? 18:40 the rear spring is red while stock is black. Rear sits also a lot higher that it normally do. I replaced in mine suspension with Hyperpro as stock is too soft and couldn’t set SAG properly for my 95kg. It’s all fine but rear shock is even weaker now with stiffer springs. It just bounces too much. In this movie Transalp seems to be handling perfect on corrugations what is questionable with stock suspension…
Maybe north west of WA ! Head down south for the hills, rivers and single trail . Still, love the content 👍🏻 I always run it past Dave & Clubby if I’m considering a new bike 😊
That is too close to call. Both with good suspension out of the box. Not sure of the price difference. To hard basket. It really comes down to personal preference.
There are multiple methods depending on the capacity of the bike, fuel tank size, daring or risk taking of the rider and or planning of the rider, fuel dropped off, supported. It's a science to do it safely unsupported.
Hi Dave. Long time viewer but first time comment. Watched all your videos. Would you buy the Tenere or the base model Africa twin? Both are about the 20k mark right now. Im looking to buy one but cant decide and dont have the experience on both like you do. Cheers daniel
Maybe controversial opinion, but Hondas have never really appealed to me. I have found them a bit boring styling wise as well a all the features as ABS etc etc. (I know all have them now, but for some (probably stupid) reason I want to ride without them.) But the Africa Twin in White really tickles my fancy. I actually want one! I have always been a Yamaha or Husky fan, I've had a few Sukies, but I never really got in touch with them. Now my top two bikes has changed from 701 and Tenere to Africa Twin and the new 800 DE.. Go figure! But it only goes to prove that either people can change, or some companies has. Cheers! :)
Dave I usually enjoy you vids but as a native to the remote areas of Central Australia I was incredibly disappointed to hear another East coaster trumpeting their opinions about the early days of colonisation and how it affected indigenous people of the arid regions of Australia while at the same time enjoying the roads plowed by the followers of these great explorers. Don't forget that all the country you enjoy on the East was subject to equally brutal confrontations (from both sides) years before anyone colonised the centre. There are many, many positive stories of mateship and mutual agreement between black fellas and white fellas in the early days that you need to add to stories like this otherwise your ignorance is detrimental to our collective history.
I agree with your east coast comment. But I think I have a responsibility to recognise what happened. It's fact and I think we both agree on that. You've got to recognise the history to move forward. Don't read anything more into it than that. And I recognise there were many positive interactions as well. I'm not some city slicker ignoramus and I'm not picking on the west. But I have read detailed accounts and the examples of abuse were horrific. That can't be undone. But we move on. You, nor I were responsible for that, nor should be held account for it, nor have to apologies for it. But I think we have an obligation to recognise it and not sugar coat it, nor ignore it. That said, we don't need to have our noses rubbed in it. You, nor I did this.

Love the look of the Transalp. When Daryl is sitting on it talking to you it looks great IMO! Another great trip vid 👍
I do to. It's far more attractive now we know the suspension can be upgraded to be useful for a reasonable price.

It is named Africa Twin, because it is like two bikes made into one heavy tank.

Couldn't agree more!
How is the engine heat on the Africa Twin? I live in the desert, and my current bike BOILS my calfs.
I didn't notice it and maybe that's because we were travelling at high speed.

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTVno oil changes?
@@AndyPat239 Nope

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV the 450 one I've seen on the internet looks nice. But i wonder how black are the oil changes on a cfmoto compared to japanese machines
🎉

Great show, someone took down my comments! What tyres on the Honda 1100? Im in Sunny CA we have tons of open country in Nevada where I could take you guys. Call HONDA in SoCal to get press bikes! I'll lead the way, use to write for Cycle News & UK mags, Contact me for web addresses
No one took down your comments. The tyres were standard. Can’t recall what tyres but felt it would benefit from more dirt oriented tyres. Mate if we’re up your way we will certainly check in.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Cheers! OffRoadExperience is me. My Africa Twin in CA comes with Metzler "KAROO STREET" tyres, not an off-road tyre by any means. I operate in Nevada, great riding, no people
Dct sucks🎉
I'm not a fan.
Great video Steve, would love to do a tour with Daryl👍, not that impressed about the Transalp air filter location, cheers 🍻
Thanks 👍
