Love my 1100 Africa Twin, your assessment is pretty spot on. Handles great on road, handles great off road. I've not had any problems with the front abs. The air filters access isnt that bad. I'd buy another one again, its a fantastic bike, its a bit of a sleeper bike. More capable than anyone realizes.

I've had mine since 2018. 100k miles on the bike now, no major issues. Keep an eye on the exhaust valve clearances, and the IACV can give up the ghost. Other than that, a great great bike and yeah it surprises people when it can keep up with smaller enduros.
I have a 2023 ATAS ES and I couldn’t be happier, have ridden 23000 km in 10 months. Love mine, each time I park it, I start to stare it, gorgeous and capable bike.

I purchased a new 2023 ATAS which was leftover. I did so because I wanted a 21" front wheel. With roughly 2000kms ridden to date, I'm pleased with the bike overall for tarmac purposes. I'm very impressed with the suspension and it has enough power scoot me along. Off-road, I haven't been yet. We still have snow on the ground in some places and we have another month to go before conditions are dry enough. Once I install decent tires (Dunlop Trailmax Raids in waiting), I'll get out in the Canadian wilderness and try the ATAS out. I will simply need to adapt to the extra weight due to the larger tank and all the protection equipment added. This is my second Africa Twin and yes, changing the air filters can be a pain if you make it so. However, the air intake system and filters don't let anything by with proper maintenance. Once you get accustomed to changing them out, it's not that big a deal. Just take your time separating the plastics from the grommet openings. As far as the the hand controls are concerned, they are not backlite, but I'm also not paying the extra $8-10K you would for a BMW 1300 or Triumph 1200. It's true, some cheaper bikes have illuminated controls. Thanks for the review.

As you know Curtis I am looking at trading the Tenere on something a bit more off-road touring oriented. The AT was in the mix early on. I loved the look and the build quality and the fact it's a Honda (read: uber reliable). What I didn't like was the seat height, the weight and the menu navigation which confused the hell outta me and was in no way intuitive. It got the flick early so now it's just down to the Norden or the Tiger 900 Rally Pro. If I could sum up the AT it would be "It's a looker. But it's a porker"...

I wouldn't buy one new, but used they are good value for money. My record for swapping the air filters on my 1000 is 12 minutes and thats including manoeuvring the faring panels around crash bars, adding time to the process . Its really not a big deal once you know the procedure. The ABS module or software must be different on the 1100, or the tyres must be effecting the SBS ss the only time the 1000 ABS goes off is when you are trying to do so. Only thing holding me back from the 1100, is I have heard on reviews that the triangle is smaller than the 1000 as the bar to triple clamp mounts are taller, making the bars cloer to the rider. I am 6'2" and already had back pain issues with the 1000 due to the bike not being large enough for me to stand while riding. I had to flip the bar mounts and rotate the bars forward to the point that the barkbusters didn't clear the windscreen and faring at full lock. I had to make custom bars to join the spine to the inner bar mounts on the barkbusters to compensate. The bike does everything I need it to well enough. I will eventually get another bike, and when I do, the 1000 will stay with me. Its too good to let go and I have customised it to suit me too much to let it go. I honestly think if someone handed you the keys to one, with proper offroad tyres and said keep it, you would soon forget about the 800DE! 😂

I respect your issues with the bike (in my case more than acceptable) but would truly enjoy knowing what bike out there can give you more reliability, Comfort, Flexibility for commuting/Adventure/ long Trips and Features. I know of maybe 2 bikes worth mentioning, and the other "flashy" ones..... well they have Issues you´d scoff at considering your choice of dislikes of the AT. There truly is no PERFECT BIKE, but I have found my little piece of heaven.

Watched all the AT reviews out there...yours here is the best...cheers. Really like this bike and considering going for it. However, I'm concerned about its weight (myself tall, but skinny...average riding skills at best). Unfortunately there's not much around. T7 top-heavy and dated...looks great though. Transalp...just sooo boring. Triumph Tiger 900 Rally, not really light either, looks great, rake not really enough for the dirt imo (correct me if I'm wrong...again, average rider, on the other hand generous suspension travel...does this make sense?), Suzuki V-Strom 800...well quite heavy too...and boring. What's left? KTM 790/890 Adv imo. Weight down low, exciting engine, great electronics, more suitable for the dirt than all the other ones mentioned...but, what's the reliability like? Maybe you can do a review on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro...would be interesting what you think about its off-road capabilities/suitability. Edit: Found a Tiger 900RP video of yours...no mentioning of issues with its rake...hmm...guess your riding skills are maybe compensating for that.

Would like to see more tests on budget lighter bikes , ie 450 RL , 300 rally . If I had the cash , yeah a bike like this would be tempting , but the thing is it weighs too much . It’s fine where you won’t likely drop it ie roads , fire trails , gravel roads …but where you personally ride it , how is an older guy or skinny younger guy going to pick this thing up when it goes down? If we think about it …these bikes aren’t trail bikes , they are road gravel bikes , if you crash , a motorist stops and helps you pick it up , or the ambulance is called and a tow truck arrives . The reason we see these Africa Twins , multistradas , Triumph 900 pros ect , sitting on the used bike lots with about 5000kms or less on them …is because new cashed up adventure riders soon figure it out . We need lighter 160 kg or less dual sport bikes , they can still handle the roads at this weight , and can be picked up when dropped on trails or non gravel ect . Did a 160 km loop Saturday on my 300 stock rally , up a double track 800m easy climb with whoops , back road rough bitumen , a meandering forest road, and 30 km of motorway , where the rally cruised at 100kmph at 5000rpm , and was no louder than my Versys 650 at that speed . Average 3L per 100 kms . The bike looks still brand new after almost 3000 kms . $10000 ride away . Go Honda 😊

My 2 cents from someone who is a big fan of Honda, but does not believe in “unicorn” motorcycles. If you want to ride dirt, buy a dirt bike. If you want to ride street, buy a great street bike. I spent a ton of time in the mountains taking my 250RX on gnarly trails where one would have to be crazy to take a 500lbs bike. Don’t take me wrong. Africa Twin is an amazing motorcycle for street and some gravel, and that is it. If you insist on riding this bike on hard dirt terrain, you will brake the bike, brake yourself, or both…

I think your review is great, but testing this bike on stock tires in the places you rode it isn't realistic for anyone who plans to ride it offroad. The front abs is not an issue if you switch the tires to a Motoz Dual Venturer something similar up front. I can't comment about the fiddly electronics since my AT is a 2017 model. Air filter replacement is also not a big deal. They don't get very dirty and don't need replacment very often where ride.
