Another Africa twin owner

[Rushy]

Definitely enjoying this bike, manual version, tri colour.
It replaces a '13 plate Rally Raid 690 Enduro R which was a very efficient tool for piste bashing and general overland travel, in fact streets (or deserts if you wish) ahead of anything.
The AT is a much more road orientated and comfortable ride, being a twin it is much smoother, also the gear ratios have a better spread and the power band is wider too, the KTM could be a bit manic if you inadvertently gave it too much right hand. Very nice fuelling too, the KTM could be a bit of a pogo stick at slow speeds. On other forums much is being made of the cheap appearance of the switch gear, footrests and the price.....its too low for such a package is what I think they are saying ! I think they feel threatened, I have a foot in both camps so I can say that with equanimity.
Today, riding in blue skies and 15 deg the N W Highlands takes a lot of beating.

I would put money on the price increasing within the next 6mths or so. It is slightly cheaper than was anticipated and the bike is a sales success. I imagine Honda UK would be thinking that they won't sell any less if they put the price up by £500.

What does it do Davy, is it a multi trip /timer sort of thing or is there more to it?

There's much more to it......it's kinda secret, so keep this quiet. It houses dilithium crystals so pure that any AT fitted with this device can achieve trans-warp drive enabling said equipped AT with the necessary power to zoom past an 1190 Adv and even keep up with a 1290 SA. It also makes a good cup of tea.



Or, it's a trip/speedo/countdown thingy that's probably pretty pointless unless you are a Dakar legend.

Yeah...............

But.............

Will it now have enough grunt to zoom past a WC?

Thanks to everyone for their helpful tips on where to place the TouraTech mount for my Garmin 660 and the wiring. I have decided to go for the screen bar and an ignition sensitive off/on. This way places it more conveniently in the field of vision and at the same focal distance as the cluster and ensures the gps switches off without me having to remember each time.
