I've been doing an in-depth look into dual sport bikes & this little bike has held its own - it's a standout bike that many pass up but I do like her. I'm saving still so I'm still open minded about this one. I like air-cooled too, call me old fashioned - OLD !! It would be true but ty for the video.... peace

Some of the best XT250 content I've come across to date. Well done. I have other bikes as well, but love my XT and shall never be separated. Looking forward to more...

Great review ! I’ve had bikes here in the UK 🇬🇧 some years ago and looking to buy a bike once retired in Thailand. Hopefully i’ll get to road test both in the coming months. Happy days.. !

Thorough, intelligent review. I bought one of these for my wife but I borrow it a lot and ride it more than she does. A great, economical, adequate ADV bike.

I also prefer Drive mode

Can't beat the XT. Bought one for my wife and i ended up using it more than her. It's so fun to use and light and always starts on the button

I rode from Kentucky to Panama this year and no problems. I don't need to go fast. It is very reliable and a great bike if you don't carry a motel with you.

I bought one of these, but an older, carburetor model, for my teenage daughter to learn on. She ended up not liking riding a motorcycle, so it became my bike. I used it a lot off road as a trail bike. But where I live, in the Texas hill country, some of the back roads have a 75 mph speed limit and I couldn't keep up and didn't always have an opportunity to get out of the way. I decided it was probably unsafe to keep it if I was going to be dual sport riding in my area. So I traded it in for a CRF450L. On paper, the CRF is way more capable and a better bike. But I would say for riding around town and slow speed riding on back roads, the XT250 was more fun. Not taking anything away from the CRF but it requires more attention and commitment, making it a harder bike to ride. I sometimes miss the XT and think it's great for how you're using it.

Great video!!! I just got myself a 2024 XT250 to learn to ride on and i feel the same as you so far. Great bike and again great quality video.

2023 AT ES manual . 5000km (3000 mi) on my Dunlop Trailmax Missions . Very happy. Big trip in the Rockies . Chucking rain , wash overs , gravel and fire road . Everything in one experience . Tires were rock solid all conditions . When they wear out , I will replace them with the same . No question or doubt. Cheers from BC Canada . RS

If you're worried about weight why would you go for the DCT...?

I had trouble with apple car play always glitching and dropping out. I figured out that if i turn Bluetooth off on my iPhone, carplay works flawlessly no matter what sequence of startup I use. I think what was happening is the bike was connecting through Bluetooth to my phone and to my headset at the same time and kicking my headset off. The Bluetooth symbol on the TFT screen would flash intermittently. Now when I get fuel, I leave the headset on, and when I restart the bike and ride away and it links every time. Super easy. It goes without saying my iPhone is connected to the bike with a data cord.

I have a 2022 CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT in Germany, and I'd like to add two comments: 1. The self cancelling indicators simply work based on the distance the bike travels. Once you set them, they will cancel after 150 meter (about 450 feet). I found this to be too short for me, so I disabled self cancelling in the setup menu. 2. Your problems with Apple CarPlay: I never heard about that specific problem. When I start my bike I first connect my phone to the bike, then I switch on my headset, then I switch on the ignition. The bike connects to my headset first and then connects to the phone. And I have installed a Carlinkit 4.0 wireless carplay adapter, so my phone can stay in my jacket. This is super-easy for short trips, but for trips longer than two hours I have to provide a charging device for the phone, so I carry a small powerbank for that. One thing you probably know: For proper functionality it is essential that the headset is ONLY paired to the bike and NOT to the phone. The Honda serves as a hub between phone and headset. Hope that helps.

One of the best reviews I've watched.

I have a 2021 ATAS. Africa Twin is the GOAT. Put better tires on it, add wireless charging and wireless Andriod Auto / Apple Car Play and its the best adventure motorcycle money can buy, in my opinion that is.

Do you get handle wobble [with or without topbox] ? lots of AT riders are complaining about it.

Hi 👋🏻 Do you advice me to buy Africa twin 2024 for traveling around the world and off-roading ??

23 AT ES manual . Putting on Dunlop Trailmax missions . They came into shop first . Alt , Motoz Tractionator GPS . Both are seen on a regular basis out on the road with the AT . Cheers RS

Nice review, thanks

great video, very informative, thank you very much for time and efford you put into it, thinking about buying Africa Twin too, good for 2024 now they come with tubeless tires and some little tweeks. Had Tenere 700 for a season, 12 000km so about 7500 miles and found it too weak for road, too heavy for offroad, that i dont do much offroad, just found it not good in any department. I now ride 2019 ninja 636 but looking to go back to adventures again. Im little torn between F900GS but im afraid it is too similar to Tenere and i will find touring pita. Great video again, subscribed. Kind regards

I agree. We all love our hobby but it’s important to be sensible about the prices of these machines.

you have got to have the most pleasing, pleasant, chill narration voices on all of UA-cam... keep it up! Peace ✌️ from SoCal 🌴

I have the Honda Africa, twin adventure sport, DCt es. 2020 I did have a stalling issue like you did, but all I did was find a UA-cam video that shows me how to recalibrate the DCT transmission did that and haven’t had an issue since. Love my Africa twin it’s a keeper.

Great VLOG. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi, I hope you are having a good time! Did you notice that your video is very beautiful and the video quality is great. But your video SEO score is very low. That's why your videos aren't getting many views. I can help you if you want.

I have a ‘21 ATASESDCT and my favorite tire is the Dunlop Trailmax Mission. Got 12,000 miles out of my last set. But if you are looking for more off road capability check out the Trailmax Raid. You probably won’t get the same mileage.

Hats off to those driver 2 & 3 car lengths in front and they didn’t jump into the lane which is always a worry here in Australia they would definitely weave in and out of lanes and then lane filtering is to dangerous

The Heidedau K60 dual sport tires have aggressive off road tread, I'd rate them 5 stars. No issues with them on or off-road, wear good. I'm on my 3rd. set on my '08 KLR650

Thanks for the video. For what it's worth I usually use the "D" mode as well. Did you purchase that screen visor from Honda? I wanted to get one but can't find it.

Tusk has a nice road and dirt tires ❤

Greetings, As always another brilliant detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸. Keep producing more videos about the African Twin.

You can definitely use lower grade gas in a pinch. Just get some octane booster in there as soon as possible. Or only fill up halfway and then top off with premium later.

Lmao……are you talking about out the Costco rotisserie chicken fits in that case? I love those. Perhaps I can use that to help justify getting one of these. I’m currently on an old 05 GS. I’d love to have an AT with the DCT. Thanks for putting this video together.

Where in NM or AZ are you? Looks like where I just moved from in Farmington (northern NM).

I have the wireless device for apple CarPlay. works very good!

Definitely want to hear the NM4 story!

Did I see you in Los Alamos today?

Looks like you would like the Tenere better.

I’ve got a 2021 ATAS manual. 36000kms with half being off-road. Love it!

Big ADVs...are one thing (must be good on several aspects.... and not excel on others) ... Small XC bikes another thing.

I have a 2021 mint!base dct! Lots of extras added! Im a 99% road, but hope to go gravel roads soon! I have mitas e07+ dakar rear and e07 front!took 500 miles to feel like a round tyre, but im very happy with them on tarmac! Should be more than capable offroad!

I have the Dunlop Trailmax Mission on my AT ASESDCT and love them. It looks like we have the same riding style. I do mostly LD rides but just picked up a CRF300L Rally for exploring and local backroads. Think I’ll be trying the Trailmax Raid on the Rally when the time comes. As for the DCT, the only time I dislike it is when I need to lift the front wheel. 😂😂

I’ve had my AT for about 18 months, DCT base model. I use it daily to commute and for pleasure at weekends. Still looking at tyres, have spare wheels so will go on road and off road, two sets. I’ve used it off road, and it’s amazingly capable for such a big lump. Mine came with the Battalx tyres, not good. I’ve fitted the Acerbis plastic tank as the range was just too short. One thing I noticed, in user 1 mode, you have the power maximum restricted. The circle shows power restriction, not power available. Try it in both settings, you’ll see a big improvement. I also had cruise control issue, it was solved with new switch gear. Their answer about brakes, doesn’t make any sense. The cruise is cancelled by the operation of the brakes, specifically by the extra set of switch contacts in each brake light switch. It doesn’t sense the brakes any other way

I don’t have one but the DCT is just like the VW gearbox nice and quick

I had the 2020 base model. I put on heated grips , sm pro tubeless wheels (not cheap) Pirelli Scorpion trail 2 tyres and more. In the end I sold it. That thin 21inch front wheel plus the over all weight . I wasn't enjoying my riding... Having said all that.The new 2024 19inch front tyre ,that's tubeless sounds great.

Looks like a pretty sweet bike. And no matter what bike you choose, there will be compromises. And being a Honda, I’m sure they will get it sorted. I had an XT as well, great little bike on the trails and back roads, but slow as Moses anywhere else. Just wanted to say I really like the cutting board trick, nice.

MotOz RallZ or Adventure for offroad. Or if you want better wet tarmac performance, supposedly Karoo 4 is good.

Hi I use dunlop trailmax mission tires. They are great for switching from on and off road. On the road theres a little bit of tread feel but not a vibration or unsettling amount
