Have you seen any pricing on it yet? I checked out the link and did not see anything there, except one awesome adventure bike. I might need to flip a coin, P 1000, or African Twin. Hmmmm.

I have been in the market for a dual sport. I am with you, the twin has sparked my interest in about 1000 different ways!

Thanks for posting, very interesting motorcycle. I had a KLR650 for a few years and loved its versatility, The Africa Twin is light years ahead of that model. If I ever have 8K laying around I might spring for one :)

I had a DR350 Suzuki and a XR650L Honda years ago, I would love to have the Africa Twin but the Pioneer 1000-5 is going to come first.

Probably wouldn't do anything to it but ride it on backroads or alternative transportation if I could fit it and a P1K in the back of my toyhauler :)

I almost forgot I had a XR650L back in 1987, dang near killed my self on it. Sold it before I ended up letting my youthful courage outdo my body's ability to heal.

Most definitely the SxS will be my first priorities. As I have aged its nice to just stop in a machine have a drink and not have to put my feet down to hold it up or worry about slipping and endoing in mud etc.

Yup that and a "toy hauler", I'm going to be making a 24' enclosed trailer into a toy hauler. I just can't spend 40+ on a rig even close to what you've got. I'd also need a F250 with a diesel to haul a bad boy like that.

I understand that completely, heck 8 years ago I didn't think I would ever be able to afford something very nice and as luck would have it things turned around with my employer where I can, so since ya can't take it with you I figured just as well help boost the economy and have some fun doing it :)
