Africa Twin is HERE !!!

So how do you explain why KTM sold more bikes than BMW in 2015 and the new Africa Twin is the best selling bike so far this year with over 600 units by the end of March ? Apart from that......

Are you sure KTM sold more bikes than BMW in 2015?:augie

600 units registered by the end of March, not sold.:rob
 
That guy who had the AT with the dangerous DCT gearbox - it must be getting on for 2 months now and Honda still won't let him have his bike back.

Must be quite serious then.
 
A spin around the lowlands of Scotland on Tuesday. 300+ miles (205 miles before the warning light came on with the dash saying another 48 miles to go till empty @ 60 mpg) in blissful sunshine. Mixture of all types of roads with a little off-piste thrown in for good measure. Only complaint, numb bum after 150 miles starts to set in. Still, plenty of space to move around and otherwise.....loving it !!

I'm off on a 2000 mile jaunt up to the Highlands and Islands on mine in a week or so and will be testing out the crap screen,crap seat,lack of torque and poor design.

Can't wait !
 
Interesting 'grunt' test solo and two-up with luggage in MCN today - after my road test last weekend and this new info I now feel totally vindicated ;)

Engineer would blow that into the weeds on his 1200GS.

He might ! Even my father could! The speeds are not that fast.
It looks fast in the camera , but teh GPS shows 20-40 mph. Many could beat that kind of speed.

Looks like an amazing event though ...Haven't competed for 12 years . Tempted too.

Powerbronze 'Sports' screen arrived today. Haven't been out yet, but IMO, it looks quite nice. I wanted something a tad shorter to try out to see if the little bit of turbulence affecting my Hornet Adv lid could be dispelled. I mostly ran my 1190 Adv with the Adv R short screen which did the trick, tho' I do have to put up with a few extra kmaikaze bugs killing themselves on my visor?

After and before......:blast
