New Africa twin

[JayDub]

I think I still prefer the older one:

Would have to see it in the flesh to pass final judgement, but it looks like a 'cookie-cutter' of the other adv bikes out there. Sorry, Honda!

The old model looks more like a hairy @rsed bike, imo; like our (first gen.) Tigers.

There's a couple of colour pics here.

Engine sound interesting though - parallel twin with 270 deg firing order.

Those greyscale images make it look like honda got an xcx and tried to make it boring.

The colour pics look more interesting but slightly underwhelmed is the predominant emotion.

Still hopeful though...

The bottom line will be the bottom line, I s'pose. And how sensibly they price the inevitable 'extras'.
