Africa Twin is coming

[Rushy]

Never a fan myself either. I preferred the Yamaha option.


The new AT is possibly what Yamaha should have developed the original Super Ten in to.

BTW....at the NEC this year, chum ?

+1 My first 5 bikes were all Honda then Yamaha launched that and I bought my first adventure bike. The original AT wasn't wven considered. Andres nailed it , the AT was very worthy but dull compared to the 5 Valve Genesis engined Yammy.

Looks a crock of shite, like that.........................like a modern version of a Varadero

 

[Clifton]

Very "busy looking", almost as bad as my GSA!

 

[Adventure Boy]

almost defeats the object of a "lightweight" off roader !!

 

[Davy F]

Well it's not loaded up with TouraTwat farkles like the typical GS............yet.

Very true !! I like the look of it with the farkles on though, I tried to order the gold wheels on the red bike but it was not an option, Dobles said they would give me a shout when the gold wheels became available as a spare part LOL from Honda that will be another £2K !! maybe ill stick with the black, If I actually go through with it !!

Good video here

However have you noticed from the vid that the bike appears to have a one piece frame & subframe

Exactly the thing the Tiger 800 was roundly flamed for

Not so good for off-road on the new AT

You're only noticing that now ?

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

You're only noticing that now ?

Never seen it mentioned before, major flaw and could right off the bike with a stationary fall

Should have kept the 1190R

Never seemed to be a problem with the old adventure style bikes, why is it now ?

Yes, you keep saying that.......

You know, the new Africa Twin's looks don't do anything for me personally and I am generally a little indifferent to the whole thing. However, I actually hope that it is the best thing since sliced bread and knocks the spots off of everything else out there. I hope this for one reason and one reason only:

To shut JohnnyBoxer up and to hopefully to get him to desist with the near orgasmic anticipation of revelling in somebody else's future disappointment.

 

[Tricky]

Your "break" appears to be going well old boy!

Remember that the posting of large bold type on Internet forums does indeed raise the blood pressure.

It will be a very nice bike but as bland as magnolia emulsion - it won't trouble the GS but might take a few sales from the other less capable 'adventure' bikes.

It will be a very nice bike and it will be more reliable than the GS plus take sales from the other less capable 'adventure' bikes.

Fixed......
