SubscriberJust got back from a meeting with Honda Australia and saw the new Africa Twin on display that was released just last week.
Nice looking bike with a DCT auto trans with paddle type shift as an option.

Not getting rid of the Trumpy are you mate, but a new bike at wholesale cost would be hard to turn down.

SubscriberNice looking bike, similar to the old XLV750R, remember them, I quite liked the look of them, they are a classic now, well sort after as a resto project and are eligable for classic rego, are they shaft drive like the old XLV?

nothing like settling in after a hard days ride,,
but then you have to maintain the chain
I can nearly understand chains if you are chasing the last 1% of the bikes performance,, nearly.

I have to agree with you Pedro.
After owning a couple of shaft drives I really wouldn't go back to a chain.

They do look good, but one review I read was they thought it was underpowered, especially when compared to its competitors.
A mate has one booked in for test ride over the weekend. Will be interested to hear what he has to say about it. He currently rides a Harley as well as use to race vintage motocross.

My mate spent a weekend with one - mid specced with ABS and a couple of other features. He would buy one tomorrow. Took it over a variety of terrain and over some familiar twisty roads. He liked the different fuel maps, and found the 2nd setting to be best for the open road.
He also thought it had ample power for his type of riding.
He admits this is the first adventure bike he has ridden and would like to try a couple of different brands for comparison.
He was talking to a few other owners of BMW 1200, they figured the Honda would be lighter and better suited for more 2ndary and "off road" tracks. The BMW is better suited for more open type roads.
My mate thought the mid specced would be the pick of the 3 models (top of the range is dual clutch - a bit like an auto) and the base model does without ABS.
I might have to head to Honda for a test ride.
