until Honda gets rid of the automatic transmission they will never be looked at seriously, only Dentist’s an "riders" that commute back an forth to work for 99% of their riding will be buying them, basically just complete fucking idiots.
boring
Honda the kings always
バイクに乗らないの？
While I appreciate your videos and the mag, may I suggest you invest a bit of money in proper lav mics? The sound in all the MCN videos is really bad.
I’ll be honest, whilst it was nice to hear you guys talking about what you thought of the bikes, I was hoping to see a bit more riding. All we got was the odd little jump, skid and riding in a small circle. I get that you want to get your say in on the bikes, but maybe rather than just showing some footage of the camera man fumbling around with the camera whilst you talk, maybe show us the bikes doing their thing a little more?
Why bother seeing which one goes over some mild off road as most buyers of these will only be on tarmac .
Ducati. Easy
No KTM or Yamaha?
GTFO
What the shit??! No KTM ??
Oh dear. That’s not really off-road riding. It might seem it to some journalists on these stupid poser bikes but you’re just kidding yourselves. Go do a few days’ training at an off-road centre on proper dirt bikes before you do reviews like this. Watching reviewers get on the bike and then kick up the side stand or ride off without their feet on the pegs is just embarrassing. You’re clearly not qualified to review these bikes in terms of off-road ability if you have even less ability than they do.
Where is this off road heaven?
Hey guys, can you do a review of the ol’ bush pigs – DR650 and the KLR? Those things have prolly been around the world more times than of their more expensive counterparts (which is prolly all of them.. lol).
not much of a test. just 3 lads getting away from.the office cracking on while the camera man fumbles around in the background. Pity really
Subtitles please!
You guys killed everything. stay home u farts
Is that Himalayan odyssey sticker on your helmet? that says ‘112’.
Can’t help but notice that there’s a bright orange member of this family missing here…where’s our big boy Austrian representative?
GS is the cheapest one? Need to move there..
Can’t wait to see the new BMW Rallye against these bikes.
watching the camera work i can only think that the hell is the operator doing?
Sport bikes, touring bikes, adventure bikes, dirt bikes, comparisons should NEVER be determined by the tires. Every bike in a comparison should be shod with the same tires to make it an actual comparison.
nobody’s building more dependable motorcycle than Honda
Honda is a great design for true adventure, like the old KTM 990s were, but the Africa Twin needs 20 more hp and 20% lower price
There is no point in watching this video. If you do any comparison with adventure bikes and do not have the identical tires on them then the results of the comparison are almost useless. I only made it a few minutes in and saw that. Although I appreciate people putting together videos I do not appreciate how they try to inform people of the bikes without playing field correctly. It is an easy thing to do. Just do it! I know that there is no way that guy making this video doesn’t know this. It’s impossible for any true adventure rider to be this stupid. So please. If you are going to compare then just do it properly.
Motorcycle Snooze does it again!!!!! Waste of time.
Come on MCN spend some money on production or just get the basics right. Your being out classed by so many amateurs.
THIS GUYS TRY TO SALE THE HONDA ITS B.S
Is that an Arrow exhaust on the Africa Twin?
this is a horrible bike battle! r1200gs would win it hands down and what about the ktm 1090 ? I guess Honda must have paid huge sponsorship money.
Adventure bike? That would generally mean panniers and some extra weight. Why don’t we ever see tests geared up? And drain the tank down on the Ducati to keep the weight low? Because you get to do that out on adventure. These reviews aren’t realistic.
Hardly a review. Ride around some tyres and chew the fat!
Omg what is this cameraman doing?
All talk No action shite test
Why did you change 1190R for Africa?
so you found a little bump…so excited
Where is the off road part mate ?
background noise kills it
Best, that would be KTM
Honda. If you listen to the web. Bring the African twin to the States in the Red White and Blue trim with Gold rims. This is the version and paint scheme I associate with Honda and it was the paint scheme used in the original Honda Interceptors. I want that Honda with DCT
boring…
Interesting that the Honda is more expensive in the UK. In the US the F800GS is more expensive than the Africa Twin which makes the choice easier IMO.
I would say africa twin. But your missing a significant competitive bike. KTM. KTM is amazing off toad.
Very interesting comparison. Thanks for the good work. I like the Honda AT best, but BMW is close up. Ducati is not for me. I don’t think it is as reliable as the Honda is.
HORRIBLE !
Why does the camera man walk away from them?
i can remember the time when nobody in the uk wanted an adventure bike it was all race reps i had klr 650 and a honda dominator years ago and the reponse i got was why dont you get a real bike oh how times have changed
Just a bunch of jibber jabber. Where is the REAL riding footage?
Great review thanks!!
Why is nobody reporting on the new VFR1200x? (Well, new to the USA…)
