Africa Twin is coming

I look forward to reading the reports once they've landed. This is the first Honda that seriously interests me.
 
Those H&B panniers were appalling. I don't think they would even last a trip to Tesco let alone a decent trip and they would have been better off having none at all. I talked to a sales guy about it and he was mildly embarrassed!!

I was helping out on the Stahlkoffer stand and he took three advanced orders for the AT. Proper tough kit and will be a whole lot cheaper than the factory stuff I bet.

+1 for Stahlkoffer kit, really well made, rugged and robust and at a great price. Bernie (owner) is a good bloke as well.
 
So am I the only one who's ordered a DCT ?
I thought it was rather good value at £9415 OTR

Not everyone lives in a tax haven.

Even VAT-free I won't be buying many accessories! Just high seat and possibly main stand . God knows how Honda can charge over £300 for heated grips that aren't even factory fitted and double the price for a high seat over a low !!!

DCT does look fun though.

If it hasn't been said, it looks a bit like the Aprilia Pegaso. Not so much a fan.

Arsey - is the high seat a one piece seat rather that one that just replaces the front section?

Anyone seen any pictures of the high version?

Yes, the high seat just replaces the riders front seat. Honda are apparently considering offering a one piece, but no doubt the aftermarket will have offerings available much sooner.

Davy,you've confused me now.

If the high seat just replaces the front seat,why have you posted pictures of a one piece seat ? What is that seat ?
 
Just read the article in More Crap than News and whilst they give it a very good write up they are not exactly singing the praises of the engine saying that it lacks low and mid range punch.

Would definitely want a test ride before ordering one :hide
 
The high seat doesn't appear to be a factory option, it's a cost option....ie, you have to buy the high seat and fit in place of your standard seat (the front part/riders seat). The one piece seat pictured is being considered by Honda as a further option, but unavailable at present.
