Buying a bike a easy. Taking it to places where it's meant to be taken is the hard part. I normaly never read travel blogs but yours is outstanding. You have all my respect for all your journeys. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing journey - how did you have enough fuel? The map on your website does not look like it has enough fuel stops to cover your journey? Did you ever run out of fuel and need to wait for assistance? It is incredible you could do this journey.
With rear tanks, that can be seen in the video, for a total of ~36l for the XRV and ~28 for the CRF. An extra makeshift canister was necessary for the latter on the longest stretches. More details in this section: www.africatime.bike/p/tecnica.html#serbatoi (you can use the auto-translate option of the website to get it in an understandable, albeit funny, English) We got fuel in all and only the places marked in the map. Never run out this time, but that happened to us 80 km from Atar on the Tidjikja-Atar piste in 2006 (there wasn't a single km of tarmac there at the time and we lost our way a couple more times than hoped). We managed to get help from local nomads (paid help of course...). It's otherwise very hard to get any kind of assistance.
Thanks! You can find tracks for this trip in the map that is included in this blog post: www.africatime.bike/2015/11/mauritania2016-il-ritorno-africatwin.html
'Stupendo' ❣️ I had a similar RD07A and think I recognised sceneries where I rode in 2012 Maybe I missed it in UK but which AT you found best in its element... ⁉️
@@africarie Thanks! More HPs make the CRF1000 a clear winner while riding, but still, the XRV is unbeatable for its simplicity and ease of maintenance/repairs. For a long overland trips that can make a true difference. We still love it better.
@@ItsAfricaTime I am not surprised and I switched to a Ténéré 660 last year after a few happy years on an 990 ADV: in the end reliability is more valuable than power imho. Keep the shiny side always up!
Short answer: The CRF1000 for horsepower, but the XRV for ease of maintenance and reliability. Long answer: see www.africatime.bike/p/the-verdict.html !
This song is so fitting for this bike, it's an awesome video.
Still love the frontal look of the original model. Great video.
fucking awesome video !!! amazing trip ! Africa twin for ever !
I have such a hard time in deep sand with my 2018 A/T. Fantastic bike, great video.
Watched it probably more than 10 times. Absolutely amazing. Best amateur video on youtube!
One of the best videos I have seen for this bike!! Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Excellent video, great scenery.
I would have liked to see a bit more detail of the two Afrika Twins.
Best opening song ever!

v nice. good youtube dont block your music.!
Great video. I really want to get an Africa twin
Goose bumps....!
Bellissimo video, che sospensioni monta l’Africa 750?
Grazue Filippo! Il 750 monta forcelle Sachs da 48, era un kit di Boano con piastre dedicate trovato in occasione. A quanto ne so non lo fanno più...
Lovely! marvelous! Splendid!
great video!! Mauritania is an amazing place!
Great video guys very inspiring, Which has better offroading? Western Sahara or Mauritania?
Brilliant to watch
great Video. Thanks
Nonostante mi piaccia quella nuova io continuo a preferire il 750, parere personale...
davvero molto bello complimenti!!
Que temazo
Nice adventure. Congratulations.
Good stuff!
Many thanks for this fantastic Video :-)
fantastic !
Nice video, nice place, congratulations!
За музыкой не слышно двигатель. Очень жаль.

Short answer: The CRF1000 for horsepower, but the XRV for ease of maintenance and reliability.
Long answer: see www.africatime.bike/p/the-verdict.html !
