How are you liking your Africa twin?

I will share my opinion to give you another perspective as I have one of the very first AT's delivered.

  1. I have not spent any money on crash bars except for handguards
  2. I find it very agile on dirt roads and plenty of throttle response
  3. I have an easy time riding it on the road even on Knobby tires
  4. I find it pretty easy to maintain and work on
  5. I have crashed it at 45 mph and broke a fairing that some zip-ties fixed/stitched back together
  6. As a tall fella, I have put risers on it as well as a Scotts dampener on it and it rides just fine

Mine is a 2016 manual with no frills, no fancy lights, no panniers, no crash bars and it rides well as long as you tell it what to do as it is a heavy bitch. I have about 12K miles on it with about 75% of that being dirt.

Hopefully this helps!
