      Correct decision bulu bhai. I also feel auto transmission is the best idea for a touring bike. And buying 2nd hand is the 2nd best idea... new one's price is really scary btw.

      I completely agree with B Happy. Bulu Bai is a different kind of a person compare to a lot of similar category youtuber we knew. Bulu does a review on ground reality and more related to a common man lifestyle. Some youtuber trying to upgrade their lifestyle when making a video but bulu keeps it natural.

    When it comes to refinement of Engine, Honda is smooth and gear shifts are soft like butter. I and my friend used to ride 150 cc CB trigger on worst roads of Chikmagalur District, clocking 100km/hr. Very few may remember that bike, but I honestly feel that bike deserves decent share of market. And good to see, appreciating suggestions of Kotaru and JS in the video.

    Very thoughtful and awesome review. I replaced my Tiger clutch plates for the first time at 80,000 km service. Chain sprocket at 50,000km first one, second one replaced at 80,000K. Wear and tear parts completely depend on how its used and maintained. Clutch freeplay needs adjusted frequently at least every 5-6k km, else it will wear out fast. Chain, if cleaned and maintaned every 500km, slack adjusted every 5K km, it will really last for a long time...

Wish you many more Kms of pleasure on the road. Cheers!

I WISH I can also pursue this hobby, as I have a sciatic back issue which gives me trouble. Wish to meet you someday and hear your experiences personally. I am a serving army officer.

    Your story made a lot of sense Bulu. I asked you on instagram a few weeks back if I should buy the 390Adv or the Vstrom 650 and u told me to go with the VStrom. I bought it 2 weeks before the lockdown and I felt it was really bad timing to buy such an expensive bike, but like u said man, if I had waited, it would have never happened. That was the most reassuring part.
    Enjoy your AT AT. Hopefully our paths cross someday and we ride together. We live in Bangalore anyway

    The first reason you gave sums up the reason for you to buy an Africa Twin. The cost per kilometre is low as compared to Triumph and BMW. Otherwise all these bikes are great.
    One thing that makes Africa Twin shine is the way it handles off-road. Ofcourse they are Dakar champion but that was a long time ago. On highways and in the urban jungle it can be a bit uncomfortable the way it rides.
    Great that you bought what you thought is the best choice. Kudos and Congrats.Keep it up.

    On another note, Honda has grasp the auto gear technology at a different level and that reflects in their across product range, starts from Activa to all other product, I have personally rode many KMs on my wife's Activa, and it never made me felt uncomfortable in any situation, specially when I needed to tackle road situations where power delivery needed most.

    Hey Bulu,
    Congratulations on you Honda Africa Twin!! Wish you lot of wonderful rides on it. I get exactly what you say, wrt "Expense" - Maintenance, Even EMIs, "Huge Bike - It looks somewhat intimidating, esp if you're on the shorter side", " Electronics - I too prefer old school, easier to maintain, less probs as I'm not a tech sort of person too".
    These are all very valid points. But yes, end of the day, it all boils down to what you can afford & what suits your needs! As the saying in English guess, "One man's food, is another's poison!"
    Anyway, be that as it may, wish you lots of pleasurable rides on your new bike.
    Now what of the others in your stable? Versys, Expulse etc?
