Who has purchased a new Africa Twin?

[bladerrw]

Have any of you done the Honda off-road course on the AT?

I've just booked for mid-March when they open up next year.

MRA vario here. The ability to change the angle I felt was very important but not an expert.

I am nowhere near as tall as you however so caveat emptor.

Yes swegotech, the buffeting is improved but it is still noisy on the bike. Unlike on my GSXR with no screen.

Get one if you are in the US as postage is the main cost

Heated grips, jacket outlet, centre stand, 12v socket and 2amp usb outlet fiteed and acf50'd for the winter. Ready to roll!

So I see there is a 2018 model coming out

Could this be why they wanted to shift the stockpile at a discounted price?

No price announced yet, but I'm still happy with what I've got.

thats how it usually works when theres lots of stock on hand - they do deals to move it ....perhaps the UK importers had over ordered. Not that it matters , lots of people got a great deal on a great bike

£263.00 all in,great customer service,well happy.

Yes mate

[jimmyslr]

I’m after some crash bars. Are there any that are preferred over others? Any recommendations? There seem a few out there but I haven’t seen a good view on which do the job, always fit well etc.

Thanks, James

My pal has just had his lacquered and the badge done in blue. Really allows the paint to pop. Stunning.

Hi all
I parked my GS 1200 that I’ve had for 8 years.
Took the niece and nephew to my local bike shop. They ride dirt bikes. Which ain’t bad bad for an 11 and 12 year old.
I took out the 2016 Africa Twin as it was a unbusy day. Long story short. Very
Iight, powerful and slim. I had some loot put away for furniture in my new house.
I now ride a twin and sit on a bean bag 😀

[Dave Brackers]

Reference the crash bars:
The bike has been totally designed to be lightweight.
Quite amazing plastic formed panels.
The trick is with the twin is,
Keep it upright on the Pyrenees garnet.
Ride it like a crosser and drift the back.
Turn traction off one notch and your in fun land

[supercommuter]

Hahhaa fair play. What colour you go for?

[Dave Brackers]

I went black.
Had to be done,
I’ve since had my mate clear coat the factory paint.
Changed the badge to blue and few other bits.

[Dave Brackers]

The cat has gone too 😀👍🏻

[Dave Brackers]

Love a MIG welder 😀

[Dave Brackers]

What are you riding now fella?

Thanks.

The Heed Bunkers are currently top of my list, but I was hoping to see what was on display in the flesh at the NEC bike show before making my decision.

Have a look at rugged roads ones, they are good as well, a mate has them,
