The AT remains true to itself
Which question you should seriously ask yourself: Yes, the normal chassis has been good for Honda. It's fully adjustable - but do you really do that? The electronic chassis of the Africa Twin Sports Adventure is an advantage: it can be fine-tuned while driving. This extra makes sense even for desert kings.
One last lap around the bike. It has remained good, and has also improved. Surgery succeeded. The Honda AT has remained true to itself: it still manages to convince the great feat with the overall concept without outstanding individual achievements. However, if you don't need the big cutlery with all the drums and drums, you don't have to change trains, but can continue the pre-model.
There is still so much to experience.
The test bike was provided to us by Motofun (Kaltenkirchen near Hamburg).
