Best and most understandable quick review I've seen so far.
Finally! I've been waiting for this video! Can't wait to check one out in person.
the sound of that engine is awesome.
A lot of us really appreciate using a clutch lever/gearshift assembly. That's a lot of the appeal of riding a motorcycle (and standard transmission cars) to me.
Great review!!
Are there any good aftermarket cruise control packages that can be added to the bike?
Cant wait to ride one :D
I love u dude!
Nice design, Good product
I seriously want To try a dct
It's awesome.
Interesting comment about the throttle cable. It is my understanding that my VFR1200D has the throttle sensor on the engine and the throttle cable doesn't have a direct mechanical connection to the throttle. It will be interesting to look into this more. I was disappointed the VFR1200D didn't have cruise control.
The DCT is great, the ABS is great, and it all makes riding a lot more safe/fun in the city.
A throttle cable is perfect for a trail bike and easy to fix somewhere in the bush...
Does anyone know what is camera or app used to track speed, incline, etc on with the video?? It's not a gopro, looks like part of the camera function...
How did the viedo with stats and graphs visible in 3:14 was recorded any special software/camera?
Great review..
sweet bike! but what was the read outs on the left of the screen at the 3:13-3:30 mark and at 6:41-6:49? never seen that before...
My XL 750 has come a long way. DCT reliability? Always fix a manual out in the boonies if you carry a spare cable. Think I maybe too set in my ways to go for an Automatic bike. Looks like a very nice bike which ever version you go for.
Is it the Honda version of 990 adventure, what you guys think?
Which Spidi jacket-pants combo is the rider wearing? Thanks!
@ 4:37 - is the manual downshift on the DCT really the Indicator button, as the graphic appears to show?
+Richard Dunn No.
Heard earthquakes in Japan have caused delays and a lot of allocations to be towards end of the summer 2016..........bummer
The day all bikes have DCT I stop riding bikes !!!
Not for me ! Never !!!
Clutch it is , I ride it , I control it !!!
Those engineers can take all that electronic BS and shove it where the sun doesn't shine......
Pure bikes without electronics are getting rare what a shame......!!!
+andree hammerschmidt Not to mention price of all that E BS making these bikes expensive.
Then just buy a used bike.
Really is a neat bike. Kinda a bummer they didn't put FBW+Cruise on it though.
WAIT IS IT AVAILABKLE IN D USA..?
IS D DCT AVAILABLE
Does anyone know what type of helmet he's wearing?
A honda motorcycle with electronic rider aides, well all be dang!
***** From what I hear, Suzuki isn't putting any electronic rider aides on it's 2017 gsxr 1000, I bet honda doesn't either. Honda and Suzuki seem to be like two peas in a pod. lol
+CycleCruza You are very mistaken. The 2017 gsxr 1000 will have all the electronic rider aids
***** I think the only electronic rider aides I would truly trust for reliability would be from honda.
CycleCruza Haha why? There haven't been any issues with them for other people
MotoBoy They haven't been out that long yet, however, most people don't keep supersports for the long haul.
Nice!
Africa Twin vs GSA800..!? want to go for my first Adventure bike..but confused..?! pls help..🤔😁..
Honda hands down.
I wouldn't worry about too much for lack of C.Control. Im almost positive "Shamu on Heels" (VFR1200X) has C.C...and if it doesn't bu now, well...shame on you Honda!
I would totally dig this thing, DCT version but with the Supermoto treatment(17" wheels strictly for effortless paved roads touring in a diet and budget).
That said, i would still rock this thing one way or the other. 😎👍
P.S: Make that cast aluminium wheels. No spokes and it's periodic look after and tensioning for me.
DCT huh? I should probably give it a go once. Now, ignoring manual shifting, I just feel it's a glorified off-road scooter otherwise with it.
C to the R to the F...
next time please less music and more engine sound...
The red colored version doe... sexy!
Yeah,The Honda official color..with front eagle eyes..the graphics..beautiful..
No buffeting? How tall are you?
+RETICS1 I'm 5' 11"
+Tom Roderick I am 6'2" and get quite a bit on a ktm 990 adventure and bmw r1200gs adventure still. I was wondering how this one would hold up.
+RETICS1 Can't say for sure with your height, but I'll make another recommendation. The new Shoei Hornet X2 helmet I'm wearing does an excellent job reducing the wind buffeting ADV helmet with visors suffer.
+Tom Roderick might look into that one. I really like the Shoei helmets. 👍👍
With 700 $ you can buy a helmet,jacket gloves.
don't need a crappy gadget.
Wassup,# You're Specibl. savory skin % 1!
he used the word novice. and adventure touring thing.
They will never launch it in India :(
Should have sent Brian Harley. Lol.
How is a motorcycle that is 509lbs wet even called a ADV bike and did Honda forget about there XR650L that would be a much better ADV bike than the CRF1000L if they would just update it with EFI and ABS the XR650L is only 320lbs wet big mistake by Honda IMO.
+altruistic Have to agree. I liked the bike and then saw the weight - people have to muscle these things right? Mayeb OK for the big strong young fellas but what about us old weaklings under 6 ft? I can't figure out why such big lumps like this are so popular - does anyone actually take them off road? There is a lot of weight to heave around. If all a person wanted was a bike for shingle roads there are surely plenty of road bikes that handle that well enough - I have one: Honda NC700S.
+altruistic I had an XR and loved it. But I couldn't see me going on a 500 mile trip on it. The AT will allow people to do just that.
+altruistic spoken by a true midget
+Liam1304 go to gym you weak small man
+ChaosTVAfrica Obviously brother your idea of off-road and his are two different things ;)
Hey how's it goisg? Super Dyper. acidic cattle What's happening.0 !
Waiting for my order to arrive, BLACK, BASE MODEL, NO ELECTRONICS
I hate to break it to you like this, but your bike is still stuffed full of electronics.
+MudaholicJr Well duh, sure, it has electronics to make it run but it doesn't have traction control or ABS so that is what a meant and most people understood what I was saying but there is always that one dick in the comments section that thinks he's being clever or thinks he's educating a possible newbie, well not this guy, this is my 40th something bike so I kinda know what I'm talking about
like a fat dirtbike with a rekluse auto clutch
Too much BORING bla-bla-bla-bla electronics.
HOW ABOUT THE BIKE character, the way it performs, handling, breaking, etc, etc, etc?
JEsus......
No kwuze kontwol?!
Every atv rider knows how horrible "hondamatics" are......
ugly ass bike imo looks like a moped with thoses skinny wheels
wth man..d bike is beautiful,comfy,good..dats why I bought it..lol
dct bby...yea..
lol
Does anyone know what type of helmet he's wearing?
