Africa Twin is coming

[Arsey]

You know; if you'd actually owned a 2015/2016 GS, sold it on and moved to this you'd actually have a lot more support for your "excitement".
I think some of the "ribbing" is that you slate the bikes we are all so proud of !

Looks fantastic, (AT), hope you get heaps of enjoyment.

I know what you mean.
I've had GSs in the back to front way as first was a brand new GSA1200 in 06 and then went to an 1100 followed by 1150GSA.
I did want to like the LC versions but they leave me cold.Sorry.But we're all different which is good !!!

They ( GS LC ) will also leave your AT way behind on the road !

That's like me saying my 1190R would leave a WC way behind on the road

Er, no, that's the point I was making - just 'cos the KTM is lighter and punts out significantly higher bhp & torque than a WC it ain't gonna leave a WC behind on the road 90% of the time 'cos to be honest 80 or 90 bhp is more than enough to ride on the limit on 90% of UK roads. And, if you're honest, how regularly do you ride anywhere near the limit

Health to enjoy, chum.

Now get your garage farkled !!!!

How do you keep your bike so clean. It looks spotless if I did not know better I'd say it's not been ridden yet, how many miles have you put on it now?

Then you could spend the whole summer polishing rusty KTM spokes

9k on this when I traded it. All down to elbow grease and superior KTM finish.

 

[Davy F]

And it wasn't for the lack of use......

7000 miles on my 1190 when I sold it. Used on a lot on filthy roads in filthy weather. Like new when I traded it in.

I think an Africa Twin can out accelerate an AA recovery vehicle.
