You can’t stand up in the Icarus conversions. The HeadSpace ones seem better.

Great vid mate, For me the transalp, its almost as quick due to less weight, definitely handles better through corners, only down side is the suspension

Wow how much did you have to pay the beatles to use their music?

Haha brilliant video lol I love my monkey bike 18 months old and 10,000 miles when you say you have 3 bikes same here cfmoto 800 mt and a Honda cl500 the monkey is my favourite by a long way..

Love the porn scene. Got me all excited, wifey are you busy?

All You Need is $, um, er, I mean, Love. Haven't heard that song in decades, a true blast from my past, thanky. Oh & Monkey looks good, too. Except for those goofy handguards....

Hi have the black low seat , does your seat click in and out after being fitted where the pillion would sit ? My seat fell off after a stationary tip over ( don’t stand up , adroitly come to a stop, then realise you haven’t sat down in time 😂and tip over. The prongs near the tank were all bent where I pushed the bike with help to get it off the ground and the seat fell off😂 Pliers fixed the prongs , but the rear of seat still has a clicking noise where the seat slots in at rear.

Just a obvious but often passed on tip for any heavy adventure bike owner. If you are seldom more than 2 hrs from a petrol station , just half fill your Transalp. Still get approx 170km range , and the transalp- wil feel much more balanced as effectively 6.5 kg has just been removed from top of tank .As more fuel is used after filling we get even more weight saving up top of bike . I believe the full near full petrol tank weight makes bike tippy

The africa twin is the best bike but the transalp is the one you should keep.

Have the tall screen and swapped the seat for the black low version . After approx 1500km on the low seat , it helps …but I only have a 28 inch inseam so I would like another 15mm lower. The foot pegs are wide and with my enduro boots I have to position my feet behind the pegs to reach the ground , the bike with the 21 inch front wheel is very easily tipped over at rest 😢. I can u turn both feet on the pegs easily , but if that front wheel turns even a little amount , when you come to a stop …watch out …if you are a shorter inseam , it will tip to the side the wheel is turned . Yes the seat helps , but the long front suspension , results in fork dive ,if you aren’t 100 per cent spot on with your braking . Personally thinking of putting a 19 inch front wheel on like they do on the Africa Twin , despite being a competent off road rider , this bike isn’t suitable in my opinion for any serious off road use other than gravel roads . The suspension is so soft and the bike too heavy …but it is a pretty good asphalt …bitumen back road tourer , it also eats the motorways . But boy at low speeds those brakes are temperamental.

I had a 17 Africa dct bought it coz it was cheap. Stuck with it for 2 years. Couldn’t get on with the dct or the weight . I’m test riding a transalp on Tuesday . I currently own a cb500x a great bike that I will have a hard time getting rid of ! the transalp needs to be something special for me to jump.

I enjoy your videos! Great editing as well!

I just bought a 2024 Africa Twin Adeventure ES with the manual transmission. It's some bike. But coming from a 2023 Goldwing with a DCT all of a sudden I have a more viceral experiance. I'd keep that Africa Twin but as of 3 days ago I am bias.

Keep the Transalp

I think people should modify all new bikes with every mod available. So when I buy it used after 1 year and a thousand miles I can buy it fully kitted out for free . Like I did on my last 2 bikes.😂

Nice additions to your 300! Are those crash bars heavy?

I enjoy your channel always have, I share your enthusiasm for your passions and look forward to each informative videos, keep up great work. Rob in U.S.

P-Twins sound like shite

I tested both and for me there was no competition - the TA is the lighter more nimble bike but plenty more power than we normal riders need. I shall do a suspension upgrade with springs and valves and it will be an all round more manageable bike. TA all day for me. AT offered me nothing different or more - and that weight? No thx!

Bro

Couldn't agree more on the "London Look", why do they do it... I really don't understand the appeal of any Kahn modifications.

This is a really cool Defender 😎

Africa twin, more power, better suspension, bolt on subframe and looks better

What a beauty :) the jig of excitement as the electric step came out was funny :)

This is funny, 50 years ago I would have killed for this bike. for the last 45 years I would laughed out load at this bike. This year I bought a RE 411 Scram, oh how things change. Have a great time chasing the rainbow "I did !" but the time will come when YOU will say "I wish I had that old 411, air cooled single motorbike .......... it was just honest" We all get there in the end i am sure.

Its that fiat van?

Clear explanation of the subtle difference you found in motorcycle purchase. Well done!

Rihanna: "Shut Up and Drive!"

Full Yoshi exhaust system. 550 Performance ECU flash stage 1 if you have access to at least 91 octane. Rally Raid rear shock. Spend the extra for remote hydrolic preload adjuster. Race Tech spring kit with upgraded fork oil and SKF fork seals. Cheers bro!

Keep the Transalp. I like the black crash bar and Slid plate what brand are those ? Saludos 🇲🇽

how much would cost to have one of that? I am very interested in buy one... thanks you

To be fair as a first bike and not much wrenching it’s probably not a great first bike. As someone who’s done all the speed and expensive bikes, I’m looking to downsize and personally I love tinkering and working on bikes, it’s more than half the fun to me.

I’m not a motorcyclist, I’m a very experienced Equestrian and You’re sounding like you’re trying to be “all the gear, no idea”. Get some miles on the clock, it will be totally obvious what you need and what’s more important. Happy travels and don’t forget to pass horses wide (2m away) and Slow (10 mph). Say safe. P.S. I ride that “green lane”… 😁

This video is perfect timing. I have a 24 TA, but was considering taking a look at a new ATAS. Im not a huge fan of the 19" front wheel, but i think if I went to the AT, I would get the AS for the suspension. The base model is also nice and comes with a 21" front wheel. This is all US information

Yo tenía dudas entre AT o Trans y finalmente me quedo con la Trans, cuanto menos peso mejor y las suspensiones se pueden mejorar sí fuese necesario, un saludo desde España 🇪🇸 👍

I put the lower seat on my TA so that my wife would have an easier time riding it and deciding if she wanted one for herself. I left the low seat on and went for a 400-mile day ride. I'm 5'10" with a 32" inseam, 195 lbs. I was in pain by the end of the day from being too cramped. I'll never use the low seat again.

Controversial opinion... Keep the money in your pocket, go out and ride the bike how you intend to... What if you spend the lolly on upgrades/decals etc and first time you go out you break something that money could have replaced.... Also this will give you a better idea of what you might want to upgrade, are the pegs ok for you?, is the ride height an issue?, does that rear shock need upgrading? Wait to see what you do, love the vids. ATB James

Do you make campervans for people ?

great video man

You can get the SeatConcepts lowered seat. I wouldn't bother with lowering the rear suspension in fear of messing up the bike's handling.

Get a bag you can strap to the bike that'll carry water, snacks and a small tool kit and then just go and have fun. After a while once you've got a bit more experience you may want to upgrade the rear suspension, as it's very soft, if you start picking up the pace off tarmac. In the meantime if you break something, then think about an upgraded farkle. The only other thing you might want to add is bar risers if you are stretching too much while standing on the pegs. Just go out and have fun riding.

td5 ?

Where did you get that fantastic ceiling fabric???

Keep Transalp, Africa twin to top heavy, both great bikes

What a fantastic conversion, really impressive work 👍

Thanks to the cumbersome traction control and ABS, neither one of them is desirable.

If you want a real adventure bike, the Africa Twin is the better choice. The Transalp is ok once you upgrade the suspension but doesn't have the travel or ground clearance. 2 different bikes for different riding experiences. Novice rider better with Transalp. Experience riders would choose the Africa Twin every day. Cheers

Great job, nice work getting it back together
