First pics of the new Africa Twin curtesy of MCN
Re: First pics of the new Africa Twin curtesy of MCN
Once the after market belly pan's on (the OEM looks like tin foil, just like the old Varadero one was) you'll see less of the engine! The casings are different on the DCT, I prefer the look of my manual Crosstourer compared to the DCT. I also prefer the manual box any way so that's what I'd be looking for.
Honda, the power of dreams.

Also got a "proper" frame! Never been a fan of the stressed member! I like my engines to sit in a frame, not be one... :whistle:

Yeah,and no DCT. Just a Quaife 3 speed racing gearbox ! All you'd ever need,simples.
