Dear HONDA: Please gift this beautiful Africa Twin to Smokey. He deserves it. Due to his 2024 AT videos, I went ahead and purchased one two weeks ago. I'm sure I'm not alone. 😉🤟☮
My 2017 Africa Twin DCT is my favorite bike that I have ever ridden too. It's hard to explain to people why it is so good compared to bikes that have more power, more speed, more prestige. As a whole, I haven't ridden anything that is better than the Africa Twin. It does everything I ask it to, and blows me away with its performance every single time I ride it. I'm glad you are having a blast with the new model. I'd love a new one like yours, but mine still has only 47,000 miles on it. I'm pretty sure it will last many, many more miles and adventures.
Meu amigo, acabei de ver vários vídeos seu. Sou do Brasil e já tive uma GSA1200, e vc está me provocando a comprar uma outra motoca. Acho a África T um espetáculo também. Parabéns pelo seu canal. Vou me divertir muito vendo os outros vídeos. Abraço forte
Smokey these African twin vids have been great. I went and test road the same model in the same colour today. Loved it and purchased one! Pick it up next week
Go ahead already and buy that beautiful thing. I personally ended up with the 1300 becasue my Honda dealer is not interested in my money apperently and admittedly I love Boxer engines. But I was very interested in the AT. Have never ridden it sadly. But in like 4-5 years, when the GS has some 100.000 km on it or so, I will look into it again. By then the AT should be in its next update cycle.
I say hallo to scooters, bicycles, motorcycles. friendly people walking next to the road, all good mojo to say hallo . Hallo Smokey. Should I go Honda next? I whent mad and got a Suzuki gsx1250fa 2012. Alway's looking for other bikes :) .
Smokey got me bloody hooked to the African Twin. Want to replicate the same spec. Prefer the Non AdventureSports ES with DCT as well. Prefer the bigger wheel upfront.
@@LifeofSmokey I’m super curious though to ride the new Adventure sports. Because where I’m based (Dubai) we have lots of highways for touring. Desert’s yes but don’t think I will be taking the African twin on the sands.
hey bro..bit of a random question but how do you clean /wash your gear? Im new to riding, I have the Alpinestars Andes drystar jacket and trousers and they could do with a wash but dont want to ruin the waterproofing
¿No echas en falta la potencia? Yo estoy pensando en una pero salgo con gente que llevan la KTM y la GS y que llevan un ritmo “alegre”, no sé si no se queda corta
@@carlosalonso9866 ya te digo que no, tiene unos bajos y medios excelentes, insisto no echo de menos los 160 cv ktm 1290 super adventure s. El dct es delicioso. Salu2 Pako
@@Pakonan666 Perdona Pako, una preguntita más. ¿Como la ves en agilidad para curvas ratoneras en montaña con respecto a la KTM SAS? ¿Se notan los kilos adicionales? Saludos
@@carlosalonso9866 ahora mismo no noto esos kilos ya que aún no tengo puestas las maletas laterales cosa que en la ktm si, pero si te puedo decir que la Honda tiene más aplomo en el tren delantero que la ktm. Me da más seguridad, cosa que no debería ser así ya que ktm 160 cv y 1300cc. Salu2 Pako
Welke motor is comfortabeler met een lange dag rijden Smokey? Je KTM 1290 of de Honda? Kwa aerodynamica, houding, zadel, trillingen? Ik krijg op mijn Honda erg veel last van mijn reet, paar keer met de 1290 wezen rijden en heb het idee dat ik het probleem daar minder heb.
Ik heb een vespa gts 300 super sport 2024 en ook een Ducati scrambler Nightshift 2024. En als ik op de Vespa rij dan word ik nauwelijks gegroet..op de Ducati altijd...Dus misschien de Vespa inruilen op de africa twin DCT 😃
M8 I have tried contacting Triumph for like 10 times , I send multiple e-mails to the marketing guy and I'm talking many e-mails , I tried sending him text and whats app messages , tried contacting him by using 2 dealerships and they loved my channel....it's like he just doesn't like me 😁
Das leben wird so einfach wenn man deutsch spricht und schreibt. Gewoon blijven proberen Smokey!. Nice bike though, considering it for the future with the DCT that is.
So the big question is now: why do you prefer this Africa Twin above the R1300GS and 1290SAR, is it the sound, the DCT, the comfort, the suspension etc etc? Tell tell tell..........
It's the combination of everything. The R1300GS has the best comfort , the 1290SAR has that crazy engine and sound. The Honda has a nice sounding engine with more than enough horsepower to fly through the mountains , the DCT is so smooth and easy to ride with , the sound of the Honda engine is soooo good AND the electronic suspension is also really soft. The Honda just scores a high average on every point that makes it so good to me personally 😊
So much bad press on the reliability of this brand. I admit, the KTM looks amazing but the breaking thing is a concern! Best of luck! Hopefully you will be fine and trouble free.
@@FLY--wy2yi only the key board warriors are putting up the bad publicity! I have a 24 890 and just pick up a1290 r. These aren’t boring bikes like the jap bikes.
Like this video if you love the Honda Africa Twin 🥰
you know what you have to do to get akrapovic 😊
I liked the video even I like the 1290 more! 😂
Zeker👍👍
Buy the damn thing already 😉😁
Verryyy Niiceee

I got over 60Million views with the 2 Africa Twin on my Instagram and TikTok too 😂. We need to talk for sure haha
His vids are absolutely helping me lean towards the ATAS 2025 as an upgrade to my 2023 Transalp

In Germany only the Helmet is mandatory.

You have tublesse tyres don’t worry!!
Buy this beautiful thing! 🥰🥰
They were saying hello because you were on the AT.
I always wave to scooters. Never turn down a friendly gesture!
Noooooooooo ! 😱 Haha, I'm kidding 😄 It's almost one of the best bikes indeed, and not too much horsepower 😁
Very good adventure bike model from honda😊
Would you go with the DCT version of it or manual?
Smokey got me bloody hooked to the African Twin. Want to replicate the same spec. Prefer the Non AdventureSports ES with DCT as well. Prefer the bigger wheel upfront.
I'm so buying this one I kid you not 😂. It fits me so well haha
@@LifeofSmokey I’m super curious though to ride the new Adventure sports. Because where I’m based (Dubai) we have lots of highways for touring. Desert’s yes but don’t think I will be taking the African twin on the sands.
Is the africa twin adventure sport perfect for daily use? It seems wonderfull with the DCT
nice review!!!! as usual
thank you
one question ...for height 1,73 with seat height 835 is ok? or need the 795???
Having KTM 1290R for 2y now…never had any issue. ATAS is amazing but 1290R different level
hey bro..bit of a random question but how do you clean /wash your gear? Im new to riding, I have the Alpinestars Andes drystar jacket and trousers and they could do with a wash but dont want to ruin the waterproofing
I ride in the rain a lot to be honest , my gear washes itself 😁
Buenas, tenia ktm 1290 S 2021 y ahora tengo la ATAS DCT 2024 y estoy encantado , ya no pienso en ktm ni BMW 1300. Salu2 Pako

would be interesting if you get to test out the triumph Rocket 3 GT 2024 model.

Mandatory ist a Helmet and Shoes
In Germany it is only mandatory to wear an appropriate helmet when you ride a motorbike, nothing more!

Respect 🙂

@@LifeofSmokey Fair enough. I think the gamechanger in your opinion is the DCT if you are really honest 😎
Accidentally waved to a small scooter today. 😬
Iedereen krijgt van mij een goedendag 👋
Alleen helm in Duitsland
Duitse helm😂
@@GH-wf9ue 😂
That think with not do 200 Km. Maybe if you had 5 km of open road.
Just sleep with it and move on😂
Sorry Honda but just put my name on a 24 1290 adventure r. And it comes with a centre stand and crash bars and a 160 hp.
And a date with the garage when it breaks down.
And it also comes with the good ol' KTM reliability 😂
@@donatotusi9140 I have 2 Hondas 1 Suzuki 1 Yamaha and 2 ktm s they are all the same they all break down. So which one is the best I have them all?
So much bad press on the reliability of this brand. I admit, the KTM looks amazing but the breaking thing is a concern!
Best of luck! Hopefully you will be fine and trouble free.
