Honda are doing all the right things - they are listening to their customers. When was the last time you heard of an other manufacturer upping power and downing overall weight. I just hope their added electronics are reliable and consistent. Unless BMW do something radical in the GS bike range Honda are now going to give them a real challenge. Just because you ride a BMW GS please no longer think you posses the ultimate machine that others aspire to have. I hope my test ride lives up to these words!
Canadian Honda site already has the 2020 AT with prices listed. Base model is 16.5k standard, 17.5k DCT, Adventure Sport is 20k standard, 21k DCT. Canadian prices are usually priced 10%-15% higher than the prices in the US, so you can use those as a rough guide to estimate what they may be asking for in the US market.
I own the 2018 Atas, love its simplicity. I regularly take it off road 'proper' and it is superb. Of course blogs and YT posts demanded more of this and more of that. So here we have it, a Honda GS. New cool perks but I like the bad ass feel of less electronicised models and think I will pass for more expensive from the onset and heavier gadgetry. Yes, they are having a smart go at the market, but can we ask that Honda leaves more rustic models on the ADV market for dudes like me.
A classy report. Hello from New Zealand. I have waited three months for my black African Twin 2019 model, it arrived last week with the frame stamped as having come off the production line in August, (last month) just as the the 2020 models are released world wide. Having said that us Australians and New Zealanders probably won't see one in the country for six months if we're lucky. Sounds like BMW 1200 might have some competition. I guess we will just have to wait and see....
I'm a GS rider and think now, this is a very tempting machine. Doesn't bother me having 160PS I just like to cruise. What I'm interested in is the price
Adventure Sports just about perfect - huge improvements with lower seat, cruise control, and adjustable windscreen. Now waiting for U.S. prices - under $16k???
Canadian website already shows the Adventure Sport at 20K for the standard, 21k for DCT, so knowing how they price our bikes in relation to the US market, I would guess you'd be right around that 16k mark.
I had a GSA for quite a while and sold recently to buy a new LC GSA. If this bike had been around six months ago, I would have given it SERIOUS consideration. This looks like a great machine. I rode Honda dirt bikes when I was young and always loved them. I will be curious to see how people like this new bike!
MagicAyrtonforever how do you work that out ? Crf1100 dct es £17349 !!! All for 100hp , do your research before posting . Where do you get £5000 cheaper from .
Awesome looking motorcycle . More bells and whistles than you can ask for . It'd be nice if they came out with a Jr. version let's say around 700ish cc's and maybe a Mini version around 500ish cc's . What sweet bike , Honda has certainly put a lot of smiles on people's faces with these winners .
I just bought a v-Strom 1000. And I’ll actually be using it in Africa. Less computer is better down here in the land of zero dealer support! These AT are just too complicated for real RTW.
Gotta say I'm not crazy about some of the changes they've made. I think for adventure touring simplicity is a virtue and they hit the nail on the head with the original non-dct twin. Bike looks good and adds a few appealing features but I won't be in line to trade in my 16.
I always feel a little bit guilty being a tall rider because all of these reviews talk about "Can you flat foot it?" And Its just not a thing I ever ask myself. Of course I can flat foot it. Give me the tallest seat height you can. let me stretch out
The active suspension sounds great as long as everything’s working perfectly but I wouldn’t wast to troubleshoot/fix a failed sensor, seal, air line etc 10 years down the road
Definitely worth the extra coin to get the Adventure Sport. The rear rack and tubeless rims already add up to cover the price premium. Add in the touring tank and proper, adjustable windscreen and you’re getting what you need for long tours. I imagine it’s more a case of Honda “upsell” though, they know the cheapest AT needs thousands thrown at it to make it more than a 1-up pretentious Starbucks machine. To go off road you need gear and to carry gear you need proper racks, boxes and bags.
I just wish we had more color variations in the Adventure trim...that Evil Knievel trim might do something for others, but it's overkill to me...a nice matte gray or black would be awesome....
the Standard one doesn't come with dct, plus the spots is over 25000 aud, for what it is, i wouldn't put any money into, here's hoping the 850 is at lest under 18000 aud
I want the adventure version but have to wait for my inheritance first. Meanwhile I’ll just keep riding my 93 Transalp. By the way, you can convert tubes wheels to tubeless - I did it for a low cost on my Transalp after a high speed blowout when the tube failed. I was stranded. Hopefully it won’t happen again since I have the tubeless repair kit now.
Just finished my first big ride, Canada and back over a couple weeks. Wished I had a bit more power/longer legs on the 80mph roads in Montana and Wyoming. Really only rode dirt into camp sites and down to rivers. With the addition of CC and tubeless tires ya, I'm thinking about buying a AS. Those were my biggest hold backs with the older models.
When ? An enduro big one ! An Italian designer made a great prototype a couple of years ago! Awesome look and amazing features ! I hope the brand will put this idea in production! Especially for tall people like me! Hahah! 6'6" height! 1.96 mts.
True but if you’re referring to the 1250GS I feel like that’s an apples and oranges comparison. The AT will fair significantly better off road but the GS beats the AT everywhere else. Hardly surprising given the price difference and design briefs.
I love it!! I m decided... this is my next bike!! I wanted the 1250 gs bmw.. but .. i intend to keep this bike ..for a long time... wich i don't think is possible with bmw...
Hmmm, I narrowed it down to the BMW or KTM, leaning toward the KTM for my new bike. This throws all that research last year out the window and makes the Honda a contender. The lack of tubeless tires and cruise control are the two things that caused me to eliminate this bike from my list. With all the new upgrades, time to reconsider which way I will go.
@@alrightdave6135 Every brand has its share of lemons. I have friends that have KTM and friends that have BMW, both swear by them. While I really like Honda Products, the Africa twin has always been under powered and lacking the very upgrades that are out in 2020. That is why I am reconsidering. What is your preference?
Jerry Williams my mechanic and the internet tell me about KTM. My friends have GS and they spend a lot on maintenance and service plus known faults on both. Underpowered? For what? I am looking at Yamaha Tenere 700 for multi month, multi country tours. This year I travelled around Vietnam for 5 weeks on a rented CRF250 l and spent a month riding UK o Morocco in May on my own Yamaha Tracer 900. I could not trust a BMW or KTM for my kind of riding. If I was just doing 2 week tours of Europe or USA, I would like to go for the new Africa Twin Adventure Sports as I believe it has now overcome the previous models downsides, namely tubeless tyres and cruise control.
KTM, really? Seems you want to become close friends and spend a lot of time together with your mechanic. If you'll be able to find one who knows what to do with the bike....
Its still heavy (240 kg, manual one) but cruise control, electronic suspension, heated grips, tubeless etc is really good. But now, instead ok 18k in Canada, its now 21k
Ratelier à Flingue I think it’s quite expensive compare to the Ktm 790 adventure R , witch of the 3 would you buy (Africa Twin L1 , Africa twin Aventure Sport or Ktm 790 ) ? I ´am in canada to .

Il faut dire par exemple que je ne suis pas quelqu'un qui est dur sur ses machines en général et les entretien bien.
Unsure of the 2020 model, but I found the fuel tank on the ATAS much too wide. It forced my legs outward in an awkward feeling way. I like the extra options the AS came with, including the taller suspension profile, but that wide-ass tank was a deal killer...
Fuck I wish this thing wasn’t $17k. I guess I’ll be waiting 5+ years for the price to come down. This thing seriously overshadows the previous bike with the apple CarPlay and active suspension alone
If I was in the market for a new adventure bike, this would be the one now. I went from a GS to an S1000XR and absolutely love it, so won't be changing any time soon.
I have a r1200 gs and I will probably switch for the africa t. Regular version and buy the new s1000XR for the road adventures . I am just not sure if I should get the adventure sport with the tubeless tire or the lighter L1 version ?
@@petelafontaine4641 I would go for the version with the tubeless tires, anyone I know with an Africa twin finds the tubes a pain for fixing punctures.
I'm not a fan of Honda attempting to simply match the status quo price range of the KTM for the sake of price point. ALL of these latest "updates" should simply be standard regardless, including the larger fuel tank. Does Honda think that another gallon or so is worth a couple THOUSAND dollars?!
They have the cb500x , they just continued to hold it back with cast wheels for instead of spokes, but with rally raid upgrades you can have a poor mans AT with same great results.
@@ripmax333 That is a very good point. I think I like that idea better than, say, the Yamaha Tenere 700. There may be a slight down side to the CB500X - ABS is not switchable, but that is not the end of the world just a bit of a handicap off-road.
John Roth that handicap can might be cured, rally raid products had also an aftermarket switch to disconnect the ABS on the previous models, if they left the electronics the same , that same switch can also be used on the new ones.
You can still connect an android phone over Bluetooth to use it with Honda’s own interface, but there’s no mention of Android Auto with is the equivalent of CarPlay
It is a small optional piece of plastic that comes in the fairing at the side of the passenger seat. Just like the AS. The black plastic panniers will fit right in.
Agora temos a certeza de que se comprar-mos a nova África twin adventure sport 1000 estaremos comprando uma moto descontinuada. QUE VENHA LOGO A 1100 CC. Quero a minha.
Honda lowering the seat height really makes it even more appealing to me. I am 5'8," and even though I am tall for a girl, I could still use the lower seat. Even though I feel like a dumbass when I said that, when there is a girl out there who is 5'4" and rides the BMW 1250 GS. One of the biggest and heaviest ADV bikes out there. She rocks! ua-cam.com/video/oOD9NnTevH0/v-deo.html It also puts it a leg up on the KTM 790 Adventure R and Adventure Rally. But the price can really hurt my pocket, specially when planning a trip through Central and South America.That can take a lot of my away away from other things I need for my trip.
I bought my 16 new at launch. Had visions of crossing vast stretches of wilderness on it. Now that a few years have passed 95% of my miles are Highway. Sure they're off-road capable but too heavy and expensive to thrash around too much. That's what my XR is for.
Ride mine off road all the time and its very capable! Not a dirt bike but if I could only own one bike, this would be it. I’ve put 30K on my 2016 and have loved every mile! Your missing out if you are not playing in the dirt on your AT!
This is a man's world, this is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a Honda or an Africa Twin You see, others made the cars to take us over the road Others made the trains to carry heavy loads Others made electric light to take us out of the dark Others made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark This is a man's, a man's, a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a Honda or an Africa Twin Others thinks about GS`S,Tigers and YAMAHAS Honda makes then happy 'cause Honda makes them AFRICA TWINS And after man has made everything, everything he can You know that Honda makes Africas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without an AFRICA TWIN!!!!!!!!!! He's lost in the world of HONDAS!!!!!!!
05:15 "Standard AT comes with 226kg dry" - Standard AT is 226kg WET...
My bad. Slip of the tongue. I’ll pin your comment for others to see

the gs will still remain unchallenged though. it is better than the at in every aspect apart from reliability and price.

Depends on the use you intend for the bike. I will go for the Adventure only for very long distance travels on regular bases
I had a look yesterday at this bike at the BikeBiz shop on Parramatta Rd Granville Sydney.

Why wouldn't Honda put tubeless rims on the standard bike? Some lost sales there.

It is more enduro oriented. Bend a rim on tubeless tire won't seal. Bend a rim on a tubed, might still work.

Why is this at 0.75 speed? Makes the voice-over guy sound...challenged.
Some people listening do not have English as their first language, so he is talking slower so people can understand.
So the sport is heavier and has a bigger engine..same acceleration and top speed torque fee probably as original
Same engine, bigger tank!
Make a 800cc africa twin! need less weight
God only knows what this will cost
awesome

Anyone wanna buy a bmw gsa
hardly anyone rides these bikes offroad
I bought my 16 new at launch. Had visions of crossing vast stretches of wilderness on it. Now that a few years have passed 95% of my miles are Highway. Sure they're off-road capable but too heavy and expensive to thrash around too much. That's what my XR is for.
Ride mine off road all the time and its very capable! Not a dirt bike but if I could only own one bike, this would be it. I’ve put 30K on my 2016 and have loved every mile! Your missing out if you are not playing in the dirt on your AT!
That I think👎🏻🙈
Such a shame this bike has a chain ! Please start using shaft drives on these, Honda.
electronic damped suspension F*&k.
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a Honda or an Africa Twin
You see, others made the cars to take us over the road
Others made the trains to carry heavy loads
Others made electric light to take us out of the dark
Others made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a Honda or an Africa Twin
Others thinks about GS`S,Tigers and YAMAHAS
Honda makes then happy 'cause Honda makes them AFRICA TWINS
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that Honda makes Africas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without an AFRICA TWIN!!!!!!!!!!
He's lost in the world of HONDAS!!!!!!!
😂
