    Just wondering if anyone is interested in the new Africa Twin? Thoughts an insights, your reaction to what you think this bike is or what it should have been?

    Personally I'm all in unless Yamaha can send something that will change my mind. For me I'm interested in a reliable, maintenance free bike which I think if it's like any other Honda this will be it. Yes, this isn't for everyone as we like different bikes for different reasons. Yes I know it's not a dirt bike so no false visions of grandeur......but I also know people wanted a game changer and in reality this isn't it......or is it? What do you think? image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    I have had a transalp for 20 years or so, just rolled over 40k miles last week on the way to work. I have always wanted and African twin! I am curious to see what price point it hits, KTM/BMW prices have me shaking my head. I put almost 50k miles on a first year v-strom 650, great bike really.

    I like the idea.... hopefully priced lower than FS and KTM.... if it is I'd much rather have it and doesnt matter price I'd take it before Yamaha and Suzuki....
