Crosstourer all the way! Great review mate!

Thx for the advices. I hadn't had a radiator guard, but now I have one! ;-)

I really like your bike... Salutes from Costa Rica.

nice little Roost

Fantastic looking bike. Mine has a rear hugger. Not sure if it's fitted as standard but it's definitely hugging the wheel. Would you take this off?

It depends on how much dirt you ride. I have one on my latest 12X but don’t do much dirt on that bike anyway. They aren’t hard to take off or on..

by the way .... My CT (new with 1400 kilometers on the odo) got a new drive-shaft (cardan-shaft) due to a recall action by Honda . - Did You get it too ? Its not only a European problem I suppose. Best wishes from Germany, Dietmar

+Heidebiker Thanks Dietmar, we have lots space and not so many people as you guys so I suppose we can do more exploring. Australia is about the same size and the EU group but only 24 million people. Lots of wide open spaces.

Could you give links to bash plates, radiator guards, footpegs, etc. Brilliant video and very helpful, hoping to kit it out like yours! I'm 6ft5 are you similar height?

Hi Chris, thanks for your comment and questions. I’m 6”2 so not a tall, but I am very short for my weight. 😉 The bash plate is the Givi Trekker (RP1110), it’s pretty hard core and mine has taken a beating and laughed. The pegs are SW Motech cant find the part number. If I was still using it as my main off-road bike I would have purchased some engine case guards as well. All the best.

@@BigBikeAdventures top man! Thanks for that, if you can think of anything else that might be handy in the xmas wish list give me a shout (also saw your suspension upgrades vid, v interesting) and I'll sort out some engine case guards also. Come on Honda, give this guy some royalties! You're the main reason I got a bloody cross tourer in the first place! Awesome bit of gear. Take care.

Chris Oram hahah, I get accused of that all the time. I can’t have done much of a job as they are not continuing with them. 😌😔 I can’t remember where I got the Rad guard, just if eBay I think. A good of tyres will make all the difference if you plan to get dirty. Get over to BBA on Facebook and post a picture of your bike!! 👍👍

Those crashbars wont protect you bike from any damage imho...

Yes they do, my Crosstourer fell some times and it only has some scratches on the crashbars!

Having dropped mine a few times I would also recommend a brake snake on both the brake and gear lever. I'm also considering fitting the folding gear lever of the Africa to this. What is the Ram ball on the Givi Sump guard for? Camera? BTW for anyone else watching dont get the SW Motech Sumpguard. Sure it looks neater than the Givvi, but it just doesnt have the same protection level.

@BigBikeAdventures

Thanks for the comment Rob. Good idea, I agree with your suggestions, and yes the lower perspective on some of other videos is from the Ram mount on the bash guard. I purchased the Givi because it appeared more protective than the SW Motech so your comments are valid.

Dude..... you only have 700 subscribers, you'll need more than that for Honda to buy you a Africa Twin! BUT... Your videos Are really good and I like Them myself, Im sure if you keep up the good work, keep making cool videos, Your Subs will definitely get up there man! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments. Those tyres are really good all round but I have settled on the Anakee III as the best tyre for this bike. In my Opinion,

This one has a Wilburs Black upgrade to the rear. I think most bikes come out with pretty average suspension so an upgrade of some sort will always be required if you are loading them with luggage.

No cruise control!! Bad Decision Honda!!!

In my opinion Africa Twin is better bike. Is not that heavy much more cheeper price and really can go off road.

Oleg, the AT is the best ADV for off-road.. it's also the worst on-road, mainly because of the 21" wheel. Since these bikes never go off road (despite what this video shows), I'll take the VFR.

The AT isn´t that much cheaper, and on the road the V4 is the best, but of course with the AT you burn less gasoline and it´s way better offroad...
