Dear Bosky - Thank you for having me over! It was a fantastic experience meeting you and sharing my thoughts on the motorcycle! Hope it adds value to fellow owners and prospective buyers! Thanks again, Cheers!
Thanks for coming and it was a pelasure. Am sure that this your AT video has adequate & clear information to be of fair use to anyone wanting to make a purchase in this motorcycle segment. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the AT. I own a non adventure DCT 1100 which I picked up recently. I came from a Supersport Daytona 675r and so this is a big departure from my previous riding style. I’m still learning how to live with a big ADV. This video really helped answer some of my questions. All the best and ride safe.
Excellent video…Suhas comes across as an extremely aware owner, and maturely acknowledges both the pros as well as cons of the AT without the usual ‘fan-boy’ attitude we normally see with owners. Cheers!! 👏🏼👏🏼
I own a Moto guzzi V85TT. I am confused between a R1250GS & Africa Twin. This video very much answered my questions. Thank you very much for the video, sir.
Quality content and clean review. Keep up the good work. Question to Suhas: How is the Honda's service quality, availability of parts and time at the workshop like ?
Hi Manideep, thank you! The availability of regular consumable parts like filters, oils, brake pads, etc. is not an issue at all. I've never faced a delay for regular services. However, in the case of non-common parts (for an accident vehicle for example), there can be a delay for the parts to arrive, depending on the type of part.
Such a wonderful, smooth machine. I always wish to buy one but sad thing is, non availability of dealers. There's big wing dealer in my city but then don't sell any high end Honda bikes - just came to know recently. I am from Gujarat - vadodara. But, very good, informative review.
Great video Bosky and Suhas!!, You are setting high standards for bike reviews in India. By the way, Suhas what is your height, i am 170 cms, do you think i can ride this comfortably?
please hire some content writers and video editors and go all in making an automotive channel/journalist...your knowledge and experience are quite expensive. you'll rock.
Hello Bosky ! Kudos to the content you guys are bringing up. Been an avid follower and admirer of your channel since I stumbled up on your video a few weeks back. I have a quick question for you Bosky, I have booked the 390 adv and I am still waiting for the launch of the spoked wheel version. As no information is available on what to expect for Indian market, what do you think ? - should I really wait for the model to launch or go with the existing one ? The tube tyres are giving me nightmares as well. But heard in a zigwheels video that adjustable suspension is gonna come up to front and rear ends. Confused to the core. Any leads/suggestions would really help. Thanks man.
Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. The alloys are more than capable of handling what we will put them through. Unless it's motocross or rally raid. The spoke is more for USA and Europe where punctures on road are non existent and so they don't mind the tubes. Here in our country the case is quite different. The alloys and tubeless bring massive peace of mind and an assurance against unexpected punctures. ZigWheels may be making news by making some statements. So it's a choice to believe or not. If I were in your place, I would buy the alloy and enjoy the ride. Never mind the non adjustable suspension. Cheers!
These are good features, but he has not explained the problems like disconnecting Android auto and apple car play. Very high windshield which is not of good quality, less visibility in rains and muds. TPMS missing, heated seats missing. Backlight in the button console. Removing the seat and again putting back qualifies a trophy competition. This is my AT owner experience. Lastly the stock head lamps, not good u need to add auxiliary. But still I am satisfied and love the bike in competition bcz these are workable areas.
Thanks Aniket. To respond to some points mentioned by you, 1. Connectivity issues of AA/Carplay were resolved with using genuine cables supporting high data-transfer speeds (Like MFi certified cables for iphones) 2. I have cut the windshield to resolve this issue. This is mentioned in the video. 3. I have added after-market TPMS that I missed mentioning in the video. However, this is a good-to-have feature and not a problem. 4. Agree, backlit buttons should've been there. It's a part of my wishlist too. 5. Agree on the stock headlamps being inadequate, but for some reason, this is true with most motorcycles. Wishing you a safe and long ownership! Cheers!
Thank you! I don't find the gearbox clunky.. I suggest check the chain slack, clutch free play and also ensure you shift at slightly higher RPMs to avoid clunky shifts.
Have been watching your videos recently and I like the reviews. Keep it up. Whats your take on getting a new Vstrom 650 currently in India vs waiting for the New Vstrom 800 DE(when it launches here)?
Beautiful beautiful bike! You mentioned that the tires were 18,20. Did you mean 21, or are they different in the indian mrket compared to the west where the front is a 21?
Thanks. He did not mention about the bike being heavy. Suhas in fact attended a couple of riding classes to up his skill so that he could learn the right techniques to handle big motorcycles.
Thanks. Big Rock Kolar and MotoFarm Kanakapura road are a couple of them who do a good job. They are on social media and have websites too. You may reach out them for the training schedules. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore i have been riding a 200 kg motorcycle since 17 yrs :D. So i am quite used to weight. I have ridden AT few times and i did not find it so heavy, far better compared to other in that segment. Question just was did Suhas get a feeling of having an elephant in the garage when using it daily.
If it's the CRF1100L The tank is 18.8 litres Wheel rim spokes are for tubed tyres(spokes are threaded differently)t Perhaps your post title is wrong if this is the full ATS
The Japs have a way they go about positioning and marketing their products. Ensuring a product is reliable is a primary part of the process of making the product and requires no publicity perhaps? Besides Japanese product reliability and dependability is already legendary. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore agreed, what I meant was that many people don't consider buying a Honda because of its higher sticker price and end up buying, say, a kawasaki which seems like a VFM proposition. But kawasaki more than recovers their money through higher service/maintenance costs. In the long run, kawasaki will be more expensive to own. Most people don't realize this. CBR650R vs Z900 will make a good comparison. Yes they differ in character, outright power, etc but similar in price. At the end of a 3-4 year period, will be interesting to compare their ownership bills!!
Yes. Things more or less cost the same across the board for manufacturers to make. It's how each spreads their recovery of the investment. One time at the time of purchase or in installments with added margins in spares and labour. Regards.
Good info. But I was expecting the owner to say a word or two about the weight of the notoriously heavy Africa Twin, just like its cousin the Super Tenere 1200. Bosky missed to ask that. I think the owner never took it off-road. Please note .. what we call offroad in India is basically bad roads. Offroad is specially designated roads where only specialized offroad vehicles are allowed, atleast here in the US. In India I noticed in many bike and car review videos .. we call bad roads as off-roads, which is technically incorrect. Off-road is short for off the road. Bad road is very much on-road. 😊
Hi! Thanks. The owner perhaps does not think the weight is notorious hence chose not to mention it and I too did not bother asking. And your valid point noted. He has been on the Spiti Valley circuit which is pretty rough terrain. We do not have any specifically designated "off-road" circuits per say like in the US. So, can't comment on that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
Thanks dikiban! Few points I can think of: 1. The 1100 has shed some weight compared to the older 1000. Plus mine being a manual is lighter by about 10kilos compared to the DCT. 2. The Asia-spec version of the AT is lowered by 40 mm compared to the Euro-spec. This results in a relatively lower center of gravity as well, making it easier to manage the bike. It does not feel top-heavy compared to some of the competition. 3. As Bosky mentioned, I have traveled through Spiti valley in India which is considered challenging in terms of terrain, especially the water crossings. I also have done some weekend trails around the city I live. However, my usage is about 70-30 on-road to off-road. I don't intend to do serious single-track trail riding on this unless I have no option to do it to get to where I want.
@@haasn46 you are being humble and modest. I have watched youtube videos by some motovloggers doing Spiti road. You Suhas have True Grit to venture out there trying to tame your big iron-horse at those heights and narrow ledge-roads. Speaking of which, I have not seen anyone tame an AT so well as Toni Bou. Look him up on youtube. Cheers .. and keep the shiny side up and rubber side down.
The heat management is quite efficient and you'll never see the temperature gauge rise beyond 3 bars. The heat from the radiator fan is also directed away from the rider's legs. So, relative to the segment, heat is not felt much. However, if one intends to ride with "chaddi and chappal", it might burn legs and more 😊
It's a 1100 cc engine.. so some heat is there. However this is subjective.. if you compare it with a similar displacement Ducati, then this doesn't heat up at all. If you compare it with the older AT1000, the heat felt is marginally higher. Overall, the cooling system is fantastic and the two radiators do their job well and even when the fans run, the heat is not directed towards the rider. Also, I don't feel much heat when wearing riding pants and boots. It's only felt if you try to ride with shorts and casual shoes, which is anyway not recommended.
Hello sir, I own an African Twin, for past three years and happened to view your video with Mr suhas, need to mention it was very informative, I found Mr suhas mentioned that he was facing the problem of his view being obstructed by the windshield, he said he was viewing through it....I need to mention I'm facing the same problem as well, it would be of great help on your part if you could share with me Mr suhas's contact details, so that I could seek his guidance and get my vehicle African Twin altered, as well..... regards Ganesh prabhu

We can upshift in any bike without clutch right? So is quick shifter necessary? (Apart from no clutch down-shifting)
Upshift without clutch possible when we shut throttle and flick the lever. With quick shifter, no need to shut throttle.

Does it heat up more than RE interceptor n burn ur legs ?
Can
The heat management is quite efficient and you'll never see the temperature gauge rise beyond 3 bars. The heat from the radiator fan is also directed away from the rider's legs. So, relative to the segment, heat is not felt much.
However, if one intends to ride with "chaddi and chappal", it might burn legs and more 😊
Not just to the himalayan, but also to the continental gt and the interceptor.
Ok
Does it heat up during the city ride bumper to bumper traffic
It's a 1100 cc engine.. so some heat is there. However this is subjective.. if you compare it with a similar displacement Ducati, then this doesn't heat up at all. If you compare it with the older AT1000, the heat felt is marginally higher.
Overall, the cooling system is fantastic and the two radiators do their job well and even when the fans run, the heat is not directed towards the rider.
Also, I don't feel much heat when wearing riding pants and boots. It's only felt if you try to ride with shorts and casual shoes, which is anyway not recommended.
Ya i did test ride ducati and did not like it. Will try this one. Hopeif this does not come that much like ducati it's yes
Japanese motorcycle cooling systems seem to be better at heat management that the European ones.

Xpulse is not the "manesar" single...... It's the "gurgaon" single to be precise.
Manesar is home to hmsi!
Hero plant(where xpulse is produced) is in gurgaon 😊
Whoa! Ok noted. :-) Cheers!

Hi! 810mm is the seat height and no compromise in road clearance which is more than adequate. Regards.
