- Baldy teams up with Africa Twin owners to put the new CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES to the test in the San Francisco Bay Area. Would he buy it? Does it Wheelie? How does the DCT transmission feel?

I worked for Cycle world magazine in the 90's, and have been riding all my life. I badly injured my left hand, and can no longer "effectively" use a clutch. Looking like this is going to be my next bike since it has a DCT version. Great video. I love the candor, editing, and slow-mo sections, Excellent job.
I also had a work accident, and I lost 2 fingers on my left hand. Kept riding with a clutch for a while but riding the dct for a year now really openend my eyes!! Its amazing!
I'm looking at that new Rebel 1100 for the same reason. Nerve damage in my left hand turns it into a claw at the most inopportune moments - usually when trying to play guitar. That would be bad news if it happened and I needed to squeeze a clutch.
Great video! I have the 2020 Africa twin adventure sports DCT ES (that’s a mouthful). After riding with a manual clutch for over 40yrs, I was hesitant with owning an “automatic”. I rode a friends 2019 DCT for about 30 minutes and was pleasantly surprised. The first 10 min, I was on tour mode and wasn’t impressed with power delivery. It seemed too sluggish and I thought “why would I buy this dog?”... the last 15 minutes, in sport mode, what a difference! The bike really came alive once I had the settings somewhat figured out. A week later, I was picking up the new 2020!
I think it’s easy to knock the DCT if you haven’t ridden it. Once a person gets some seat time, it’s easy to see the future of motorcycles. Is it perfect? No. Is it an example of the evolution of motorcycling? Most definitely! One has to buy the bike for their particular ride. In more technical off road riding, a manual will still be the preferred final drive. Most riders of these bikes will be doing long highway miles and light to moderate off roading so you’ll see the trend moving to a majority of DCT final drives. It’s a niche market.... I see the Africa twins for the highway tourers and the majority of hard core off road riders will gravitate to a more off road oriented, simpler bike such as the Yamaha Tenere 700.
I do agree with the Africa twin tires, they are 90% a street tire and a little too sketchy for gravel and off road. That’s why I have a set of Mitas E-07’s sitting in the garage beside the Africa twin. I apologize for the long winded opinion.
Thanks Randy! I am enamoured with the 2021 Africa Twin 1100 DCT.
This was quite useful.

If you want an Africa Twin for hardcore off road riding, you're better off with the original model, last built in 2003. It's a 750cc V-twin engine with a bunch of torque right from idle, and with studded tyres it's a fine machine for off-roading right off the bat.
Well Sir,
It was a good video. Pretty informative. I myself could care less about wheelies. Never have. I just enjoy riding, mostly on road but, I also like forest service roads, light duty trails etc. I'm not into the torcher-the-bike AND myself stuff. Been there, done that. I have an '18 AT/AS/DCT and love it to death. I've been shifting transmissions for 55+ years. When I took a test ride on the DCT, it took me all of about 2 city blocks, IN THE D MODE, to convince me the DCT was/is for me.
I didn't have to ride it for a thousand miles like what was suggested by some folks. The performance of that DCT is to me, flawless. Anyway, Your video was good and covered at least *some* of the changes/refinements/adjustments that are present in the 2020 AT/AS that are not in my '18. I know you have or had, limited time for a video. You covered what you thought was important. When I purchased my '18, it was only 10 months ago so, I had plenty of opportunity to pick up a 2020 over a new '18. But, the $7,000 price difference vs what I'd be getting over and or above an '18, simply didn't warrant it. I chose the '18 and have been seriously happy. I commend your video. Nice work.

I would love that bike, but I'm poor
Buy a 2016/17, it is a better bike at half the price.
@@actstuntcam maybe for my next bike, got a strom now
@@tuanoful OOOooohhh good choice, I had an 03. Best bike I ever owned. I think the Afric Twin (16/17) will be almost as good on road, as the VStrom, AND almost as good (or possibly as good) off-road as a KTM950ADV. I did so many fun things on my VStrom, including road racing it and riding it through deep sand. What an incredibly versatile bike it was.
@@actstuntcam It really is, the only thing that annoys me, and this is literaly the only complaint I have, is that it is SO LOW to the ground that the skidplate is hitting even en speed bumps (in Mexico they are very common and some are dangerously vertical)
@@tuanoful Wow, I never had that issue with mine. As far as ADVs go they are quite low, but compared to a tourer, or sportsbike, they are quite tall. Those speed bumps must be severe.
on a tricky trail, just put the DCT in manual and also use the rear brake - DCT is AWESOME 😍
Still not the same as having a clutch to control the power.
I've had that exact bike since April 2020. It's absolutely fantastic. I wasn't entirely sure I'd enjoy DCT but bought it anyway and I love it! You do have to get used to dragging your rear brake on slow technical maneuvers, but that's relatively quick to master.
The only things that are wacky about DCT - and probably the most dangerous until you adapt - are the bike being in "native neutral" when not moving. This means if you're doing a technical hill climb and things go awry, you don't have the option to just kill it and let the gearing hold the bike. Also means if parked on a hill you MUST use the parking brake.
The other weird DCT-ism is having to REALLY master throttle input, since you can't modulate throttle with a clutch. In practical terms, this means if you stumble or get jostled on a technical track and go whisky throttle, you're in for one hell of a ride followed by a likely trip to the hospital. You'll find yourself really using that finger leverage off your brake handle to make sure your throttle input is just so.
The electronics are great, though they certainly take some getting used to. I'm happy now that they've upgraded the system to accept Android Auto as well as Apple CarPlay. And know that if you want to toggle between CarPlay/Auto and the primary dash screen, you can; it's just a quick flick on one of the switches to jump back and forth.
I've had it in some pretty stupid places and out on a MX track and it's WAY more capable than I am!
Great review!
I test rode the DCT, and while i picked the manual, i love that Honda offers the DCT. Like you said, its a little odd at first in slow speed situations, but you use the rear brake and it all seems to work. If you rode in a place with traffic, DCT would be a godsend.
You prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Merrick Jagger Instablaster ;)
@Callan Bentlee thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Callan Bentlee it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
I also ride the Africa Twin in Japan. It's big and heavy, but it's a very good bike 👍
This is a phenomenal review. I love the personalities, the editing, the footage, the candor...it's so much of what I want in reviews
Thanks John! I’m kicking myself for not including Ed’s account of his 8-hour ride on a difficult logging road to Jasper and how well the DCT worked.
@@advrider8447 I'd love to watch a whole episode just on DCT - or non-clutch transmissions more broadly - to get a better understanding of the trade-offs, surprises, and optimal use cases. You have commentary on this here and in your Zero Black Forest video, but I imagine you could talk intelligently and fascinatingly about this for quite a while.
Great final product Baldy. Pleasure being a part of it with you.
I sold my two previous Africas (manual and DCT) and bought this brand new 1100 DCT ES after test ride. It is absolutely awesome bike.
Looks Great! I would love to try the DCT., but, alas, I think its just too heavy for these old bones. I'm into light weight, now. Great review, Baldy! I liked all of the guest opinions you had, too. I think you have found an new career for yourself! (This is a guy, just using my wife's account).
Got mine in December after 10 years with BMW GS and RT, mine is DCT and electronic suspension, adventure version ... wonderful bike, love it, i am 6foot 3 and it feels very comfortable, added Touratech crash protection, DCT IS AMAZING !!!
Me too 👍🇦🇹
Hi Baldy great review I have a 2017 manual really lucky to pick it up at Huntington Beach Honda in June 2019 the red black white model for $9349.00 I was on the hunt for left over 2018 klr650's just couldn't pass up that deal the AT will make you a better dirt rider or kill ya, I'm still kicking so my lowly dirt skills are improving every time I drop this monster.
Now this is how you do a review! Best parts were interviewing owners who actually used the motorcycle and not only for coffee shop runs.
Yeah, you Would buy it... but then you'd only ride it on hard surfaces like 99% of the other owners.
This was a great review format. Really well done. Actually like it a lot more than the written work. Hopefully no offense taken but figured you'd like to know. This is your format. Good job!
Great review Baldy. I have the 2017 manual and love it. Rode a 2018 DCT on a trip and loved it too.
They should have Noraly "itchy boots" reviewing bikes. She's the undisputed expert if their ever was one. She out rides most men. She is tough.
She sure put all men riders to shame. Awesome lady.
At 57 years old I will seriously consider a DCT. Throw in the fact that it is a Honda and it basically sells its self.
Great review Baldy, I have a 2018 Adventure Sport DCT. I use it on and off-road, near and far. It's made me a better (safer/smoother/faster) rider and still has more capability than my ability can exploit. If only it was electric...
Really good vid. I'm going to buy a 2020 Version of the AT but not the DCT. I tested it, but for me it was the feeling to loose control over the switch points. After 30 Years riding, this will be my fifth Honda an I'm really impressed of the reliability of this bikes. And the Design of the AT is outstanding.
Just buy it. No western bike can beat Japan tech
Great review! I really liked my 2016 AT with the exception of when I needed to work on it. So many plastic clips! I felt like I was taking apart a car dashboard when pulling off that fairing.
The DCT offroad must take a while to get used to... most of offride riding consistes of a lot of clutch work, there is a learning curve there
Its great off road, no need to slip the clutch, you cant stall it, put it in full manual & use the brakes if you need to go extra slow in the same way you would feather the clutch on the manual. only drawback is you cant pop the clutch to get the front wheel up.
I’ve been riding over 53 years and I adapted to the DCT right away and love it. When off road, I put it into manual mode and turn off wheelie control. Works great for me.
This was an excellent review. I really liked how you brought in new-to-the-bike riders as well as long term riders. I did not expect to learn anything, but the variety of opinions made this review better than anything else out there. Keep it up!
Thanks! I do feel that getting the perspective of real owners is great.
I have a 2019 and LOVE it. I'm a hard core Harley guy BUT these bikes are just amazing
Why do you think Harley hasn't made ADV and dual sport bikes? Their original message was all about freedom, exploring, being a nomad, ect. The new method of that ain't with highway cruisers anymore.
@@Noadvantage246 they have made an adventure bike its called the Pan America looks half decent specs wise too,
The DCT is money when it comes to a bike this heavy! I have the 2019 ADV Sport and it is a different feeling altogether and I can't say enough about the balance. I agree that you focus more on the ride and less on the bike in the DCT version. I think it is important to remember that these are not oversized dirt bikes to compete on the MC circuit, they are to take you places most would normally never go and get you back again. If you want a dirt bike that rides on the street then get a Rally 300 but if you want a continent explorer, this is your beast!
Watched this a while back, and now I'm watching again after buying a new one.
Same here!!
Same. I bought the basic, flat black, DCT. I love it. And it’s a beautiful bike.
Well damn, I haven’t wanted any new bike since the Motus first came out and now I’m Jonesing for one of these. Thanks for the well done review Baldy.
Never again.... now T7!!! Im happy now!!
Any decent modern machine over 900cc with proper touring potential is wasted on journeys under 200 miles per day.
Too much tech garbage for me... I liked the original 2018 (that I sold like an idiot).
DCT is a solution to a problem. For a lot of people that problem does not exist, and for some not having a clutch even becomes a problem because a clutch (like a rear brake) is a tool to manage power. DCT loses that possibility.
Is the DCT worth it? That's totally subjective.
I really appreciate your view and perspective on the bike, especially the parts about the DCT and the fact that you mention some of the problems that this model could have and has had in the past. As someone who is in the market for an adventure sport and will most likely end up with either a Super Ténéré or an Africa Twin, this review was very helpful. I find that too many owners, and even some reviewers, are not very subjective and sometimes overlook problems and shortcomings when discussing a bike they have purchased, or prefer. Any additional advice or guidance would be appreciated!
Wow. Speechless. What a great review. Thank you so much for it. BTW: Personally I have just answered the question if I would buy one with a „yes“. Cannot wait to get it. Regards from Berlin, Germany.
Thanks! Would love to hear how you like it.
@@advrider8447 I love it. I am really blown away, how good the bike is. Especially the electronic suspension does it for me - sporty on country roads and the autobahn, and relaxed and comfy when cruising or in the city. I have to wait for the lockdown to be lifted before I can make longer tours, so currently I just do day trips around Berlin - which is okay for getting used to the bike.
I really like the African twin, if I were not retired on a limited income I would have one. When I buy the manual or the DCT, DCT definitely.
Joao from Portugal. Great film this yours. Not so tecnical but Genuine. Congratulations from Portugal. Come and see us.
Great review. It would be even nicer if your riding buddies had the 2018 model that had some improvements, being one of them the throttle by wire.
I have the 2018 Adventure Sports with DCT. In my opinion looks more rugged and even sounds better than the newer 1100. On my channel you can see some of my weekend rides.
This was a fantastic video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My 450l isn't going anywhere but I want something that eats pavement miles better. Starting the slow process of researching this and maybe a Tracer 900. My problem is when I'm out on pavement and I see an open dirt road I have a hard time not going!
Nhaa, give a the manual. But that is only true if I was only riding around the US. I am planing a trip through Central and South America, I can't trust a bike that relays so much of electronics. The more goodies there is the more that can go wrong with it and the more expensive it gets to fix things. I saw a video of some guy having to change the display panel and some other electronics and he spent 5 grand. Not cool! For me, give me a bike with basics electronics such as fuel injection and abs. I don't need anything else.
For my adventure riding through third world countries and through small town in the middle of no where, a bike such as a African Twin, 1250GS, and the like, they are a liability. Good luck finding someone with the technical know how and specialized equipment to fix it.
For me, give me the reliable, amazing, and yet simple Ténéré 700. Or may be even the new 2022 Kawasaki KLR650 Adventure. With over 30 changes, most major changes, I am sure that the old and reliable KLR will be pretty good.
And I am hoping that Honda does release either a baby Africa Twin mid weigh, or the Transalp. Recently Honda filed a trademark in the US for the Transalp. According to a company insider, Honda took the engine from the NC700X and beefed it up with larger bore and pistons (up to 790cc) to get more power.
The Yamaha Ténéré was first released in 2019, perhaps too soon for Yamaha to do major upgrades for 2022, but I hope they do.
Make sure you use sport 3 mode and also G mode on!! Makes huge difference
Starting at 18k? No motorcycle is worth that much
I absolutely loved my 2017 tri-color Africa twin until it got destroyed in an accident this November. Due to that accident I have about 4 months left until I can walk and ride again. However, yesterday I put money down on a new 2021 Africa Twin Adventure ES DTC. I’ll need the DTS as I’ve lost the ability to lift my left foot up at the ankle.
Bought the same ride last year. Drove through a big part of BC Canada and my local Rockie mountains compiling 9000kms. Absolutely love everything about it! DCT and electronic suspension work amazingly for me. I'm a dirt rider also, and mountain sledder. The ATASes is just a different style of bike to learn and adjust to, but once you understand it, it's a dream! I'm California dreaming on a winter's day, with covid gone away, lol. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Well done eh :-) 🇨🇦
My first dct bike is my new honda goldwing touring bike, im looking at the new africa twin now and honestly well im not sure if i want the dct or 6speed as both are great. But like stated with the dct its true you do spend less time working with the bike and more time enjoying the ride but shifting with the bike is also part of the fun at times..
I miss those Bay Area back roads! Some of the best street riding there is.
Awesome bike that is certainly on my possible next bike list, but it gets negative points for having loads of expensive electronics that I don't want and won't use. So it grates with me paying too much for stuff I don't want...
Choose the base model, it’s much cheaper too
Just picked up a 2020 DCT for commuting into central London and it’s perfect. More attention for what’s going on around me than a manual. I do wish the stock headlamp was a bit better though when it gets properly dark. I use a phone for nav too and hate the fact you need a Bluetooth headset in order to get a phone working properly with the main screen. The Honda panniers also scratch really easily but I’m nitpicking now!
Friend of mine's kid was climbing around on his bike like the kid about 1:30, and the bike fell over, broke the kid. Kid is OK now, but had a neck brace for a couple months. Just be careful. Cool bike.
Where exactly this dirt road in bay area?
Thanks for reviewing! I’m interested to change my vstrom to africa twin!
It's Metcalf Park, just south of San Jose. Cool place.
17 dct, and love it.best bike I've ridden. Not over wired. Mefo superexplorer tires. Keeping it but also want 600ish africa twin! Good review
If I was buying as first time africa twin, yes likely 2020 ATAS ES DCT
I have a 2018 Adventure Sports model (manual) and love the bike. I can’t wheelie it like in the video and don’t do extreme off-road riding on it. It is perfect for my 50 mile one way commute to work and for weekend to week long camping trips. It will probably be the last bike I ever buy.
awesome review!! really great that you got the aspect of older versions of the DCT system included. Cheers..
I work at an Indian dealership, that also carries dozens of brands, and used bikes.
We have 3 of these. Doesn't matter who it is, what they do or what they rode in on... they all stare at the Africa Twin for at least 5 minutes, then they do it again before they leave.
It gets more looks than our $40,000 Chieftain Elite (120 ever made worldwide). I don't blame anyone. They truly do it all, and especially in the looks department. Also, in fully automatic these "learn" your riding habits and eventually become near telepathic. I want one too, and so does everyone my friend.
Better than a GS imho love it I do have the manual version though with no electronic suspension
Way to go Baldy, DakarBlues here
Hi, great review of this brilliant machine - good to see different perspectives from different riders which really tested the bike thoroughly.
The DCT gets such great reviews from those who have used it and Honda really seem to have the system dialled in so well.
Ride safe.
Stevee (Advrider forum name).
Awsome
I love my 2019 AT! It really does turn heads!
automatic motorcycles is first every effective in Hondas XRm 125 bikes, very effective motorcyle in southeast asia
Thinking about condensing down to one bike from a metric cruiser and a drz 400s to either an africa twin, ktm adventure 890r, or tenere 700. No one does demo rides on any of the bike which has pretty much been a hard stop. I get they don't need the sales currently, but the dealers could at least pretend to care about selling a bike.
I love my 18AS, pushing 22k on it and its still a great smooth bike(manual). I am glad Honda finally decide to recall the fuel tank on the AS
Yesterday i could take a ride in the new Africa Twin ......very interesting .
And i love all your comments !!!!
DCT ......you have to get used too ❤
I own a 1992 Africa Twin .....and the new one are Worlds apart .
Great bike for long rides !!!!
With the gas .....is awfull sensible.
Very interesting model and a lot of new tecnologies in it .
Thanks for the video . Excellent .
Love from Munich, Germany
Pearls of wisdom in the comments......................... is so well said I will remember it. Stay safe. I am new subscriber.
A little clarity at 15:15. The fancy screen has a 20 second boot up time, but you don't have to wait on it. You can start and go immediately (just like any other bike).
Love my no-DCT 2017 AT! Yep fork seals will probably go and the clutch rattles when it gets hot but it is so awesome. Until Suzuki makes a 400b DRZ1000SM this 500lb AT will have to do. Whoops, ehhmm... I mean terrible bike you will hate it go by a BMW.
I've had my 2017 DCT Africa Twin for a year don't do any off road here in Scotland it's not really allowed anywhere here you guys are lucky , anyway it's a fabulous machine I'm very happy with mine...The DCT is too sluggish in drive mode I usually chose sport 1 or 2 the only mistake I made the second day I had the bike was blipping the throttle at traffic lights , damn near fell off it.
get rid of all the bells and whistles except the DCT and it might be more affordable. say 8000 maybe.
Yes my atad 2020 had forc seal prob.and recall for fuel filter. Tft screen for phone is very slow and useless. Honda dealership not fast, not precise, not careing...they paid for recall and forcs though
thank you in advance for the video presented by the mythical Africa Twin which I have a crush on since my youth when she appeared but it was my "first love" as soon as I saw her. finally, not only is the acquisition of a 1100 L adventure, but also associated with it, a project that has everything to do with itself, which is going to the Dakar. I'm a very young motorcyclist (since 2015), with half a dozen Adventures where the longest was no more than 2000 km (I don't know the corresponding in miles). I hope to continue to see more videos of yours, besides Africa twin as a passion I am also a mechanic lover and everything I can do and adapt for my project, Dakar. thanks to all the stakeholders who helped me and gave ideas like the extra tank. greetings
Good review! Thanks! It fully confirms my choice for the Africa Twin DCT version! I have the red 2019 version.
Subbed; Who knew you could make such great videos in addition to running one of my favorite, longest returning to Forum Boards? Outstanding Stuff! Keep up the great work. Re: The bike - I cherish the art that is mastering all the fine controls and interaction that creates the bond between Man and Machine through that one little [clutch] lever. HOWEVER, as I age and my Ankles, Hands, and Wrists become increasingly stiff and painful (from all that previous interaction and resultant Adventures - for good and occasionally bad) The DCT just might be the answer to extending my time in the saddle going into the future. Will I trade in my beloved '14 GSA Premium for it ? ...only time, and perhaps a few more dips in Barometric Pressure will tell. Cheers !
Sold me on everything but the DCT. Picked it up Tuesday.
I'm riding a 2017 base model AT and I am very seriously considering adding a 2021 or 22 model DCT version to my stable early next year. This video answered most of my questions in the first 10 minutes. Good job
You bought the dct?
19:42 WOOF. (Dog Approved.)
loved the presentation....👌🏻
The Honda sounds like a 1920 water pump. The Beemer 1250GS sounds killer.
are there finally tubeless wheels? Can i take down the wheel on a long journey in the Mountains? has a central stand to help me? thats it.
Great review 👍🏽respect from England 🏴
I love this bike and I was considering one but for me, as an older dude, I want a considerably lighter bike. I do a lot of off road touring with lots of dropping in soft sand. So I need something easy to pick up. I think a 450-500cc enduro would suit my needs better. I’m also considering electric dirt bike for pure off road fun and a small-medium sized petrol engine enduro or dual sport for longer trips, with a pillion and luggage.
I demo rode the newest DCT this January and liked it, as a loaner for the day I did not ride aggressively, well not too aggressively anyways and didn't take it into the shit, I think as a commuter, long distance tour, sometimes offroad bike I would consider it, but would need a little more seat time to really decide. Was a fun day though so that says something
16 DCT! Love it! 👍🏻🎉🎯 34th bike I’ve owned. You just have to master it like anything else.
I've got 2020 1100 manual, I'm in England, it loves the mountain passes in Scotland, I had the 2018 1090r before, build quality compares to Honda no,
Coming from a KLR to a 2020 base model AT, I am pretty happy after 300 miles of mixed terrain riding. The AT doesn't check every box, but it checks the right boxes.
Face it, the lab is the star of the show and knows it....................
love the review and displaying the dash instead of every other review just complaining about it.
You need a Yoshimura RS12 😁
No,the twin breaths just fine.youd just be adding noise.
Top notch presentation of the 2020 Africa Twin DCT
The red, white and blue colourway is by far my favourite.
Had a couple of Urals in Ontario and love them, but the first fuel injected one was a lot of trips to the shop. Hope they are better now. But I am pissed of at Ural not having any dealer ships hear on the east coast of Canada, PEI is a great place for them. Lost of great roads paved, dirt and gravel , They should push and get more dealers set up, at 75 I would love to go back to a side car rig, but lack of dealer ships is a stopper.
"The massive electronic Upgrade" breaks your neck having a software malfunction in the middle of Usbekistan! 😜 Real Adventure Rider don't need such Software Monster. Sorry.
Great review, Baldy. I have the 2020 ATAS manual and absolutely love it! Great bike!
Deffinetly not a touring bike it is Enduro bike.
What the heck! This is an ADV RIDER review and the reviewer says he would rather have an e-Bike rather than an Africa Twin! Really. Maybe your ready for a scooter pal. Why did you even get involved with reviewing an ADV bike if you want a bike to ride back and forth to Walmart and your house? Go get a scooter or your E-Bike and a long extension cord to go with it and leave the ADV riding to Real Men like the guys in the video. Bow Out.
I lost my left foot on my bike after being t-boned by a drunk in ‘81, so I ride a Ural Gear Up with a hand shifter now.
I would LOVE to ride this bike with a sidecar!
Great motorcycle. Give me one of yours😟🙏
HEARD to many rust issues on Africa Twins? Looking at new 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 instead.
I love Africa Twin ! Hope next bike also change to 1100CC DCT
@ 17:20 I accept that challenge, let’s make it happen my man!
100% loved this review. Tanks guys. Ride safe and ride often.
