As an owner of a similar Africa Twin for +10 years, and having ridden many other bikes, I still feel the old girls gives me the widest smile when I go on twisty roads and lean it around. As you say, there is something about doing that with a bike that wasn’t built for it but still does it so well. Keep up the great work.

Ladys and gentlemen, this right here is the argument for starting on a smaller bike. Everybody saying "you grow out of a 300cc/500cc so quickly and will have to buy a new one" is true on one hand, but if you stick to your small bike and master it, you will become a brilliant rider like this dude right here rocking an 20 years old African Twin through the corners "fast-ish" :D This will most likely take you a lot longer on a bigger starter bike. Schaaf you are one of the most skillful riders I know and I really love your content. On Insta and KZread likewise. (Y)

+Aside thank you very much!!! Of course I absolutely agree. It doesn't take long until a 500cc bike feels too weak. But sticking to it and trying to "master" the thing surely pays off in the end. +supermotardmario You are also right. It's such a shame that many people out there always immediately feel offended when someone has a different opinion about anything. I'm just saying that people should stay on smaller bikes for learning. But some folks immediately will accuse me of saying that it's wrong to ride bigger bikes on the road in general when hearing me recommending smaller ones to beginners..... That's why I always keep on preaching that everybody should ride whatever the fuck he or she wants. As long as they enjoy it. And if someone's interested in becoming confident and quick I'll tell them it might be a good idea to start small and be patient for a while. But like you were saying no one should feel the need to justify themselves when buying a new bike.

I was looking to your 390 ADV video and this one - hesitating between both and cannot take any decision. For road use how would you compare it ? Is the 390 delivering enough power ? Or is the engine of the AT preferable?

Nice ride ;) love the Queen in all the way! I have an rd04 myself so i can feel what you felt on it :) Something off the topic: your friend have the same problem as me, and that is when you pull in the cluch you get the Neutral light go on in every gear.

So @Schaaf, since I can't own a 1996 Honda XRV 750 Africa Twin where I live (it was also my dream bike when I was a little kid but they never sold it here), do you think that the T7 is a good alternative? I don't want something too expensive or heavy like the GS because I have a lot of learning to do. Do you think that the T7, even if it doesn't look like the Africa Twin, will make me smile just like the old beast could?
