Who has purchased a new Africa Twin?

[rat840771]

Just stumbled across this brand of exhausts.

Meant to be top quality ( ex Akrapovic employees)

www.wings.si

I have inquired about cost and the Titanium/carbon version is 379 euro and 19 shipping so all in £360.

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

Looks great with that detail change...

Gold wheels surely? That would really set it off... IMHO

I piced up some Talon wheels for mine. Saw how much they would cost and aborted purchase! lol..

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,

I ordered some Heed Bunkers last night after an hour or so on the Africa Twin forum. They seemed well regarded by those who’d got them in terms of fit, robustness and value.

The Altrider sounded better, but at almost theee times the price. I’m after some protection from a drop in the car park rather than a boulder whilst crossing a desert, so figured I didn’t need the full monty!

I've been following this thread because I was amazed at the incredible deal, so when I saw this Tamiya model of the AT in Tokyo yesterday and I thought I would share it - it looked really good!

That looks great, not cheap at 176 quid mind! I'd forgotten how expensive the big-scale bikes are.

£67 here in Tokyo if my maths are correct..!!! (10,000 yen)

Lots of the KTM 690SMCR boys use them. Haven't heard anything bad about them yet. Would be interested to find out what the build quality is like.

Well noticed. They will sell fast! Hopefully not too fast, my mate wants one.

[rat840771]

They will be gone by the end of the week!

[PIGINAWIG]

Couldn’t resist. Crazy deal. Thanks for heads up

[rat840771]

What you’ve ordered one? If so cool!

[PIGINAWIG]

Yep. Red white and blue, few extra bits added on.

I don't have a licence yet... is it bad that I've enquired?

No! You've been talking about doing your test for bloody ages. Just get the bike and get it done already

Apologies if its a repost but I can't see in on the thread...

seems like there are plenty of pre regs and new old models available around 9.500 /10000 on Ebay... hmm very tempting
wonder what the old KTM is worth

[rat840771]

Yes there will be, but not on 0% and no deposit required.

The manual deal is £1080 higher than the DCT deal in Sept.

Sadly most new bikes are going to drop a fair chunk as soon as they are wheeled out of the shop
however the warning signs have been around for a while PCPs and low rate finance deals say more bikes than buyers
still think its a great bike and say losing 3k over a year some folk spend that on a two week holiday ....
