Re: africa twin
Yes, you're being a wuss... I've had tubed tyres on the two Tigers for 8 years and had one puncture (on the road) in all that time. Nothing to worry about. I think I had more punctures in tubeless tyres over the previous years.

Re: africa twin
Just picked up a 66 plate At myself. Was dead set on the manual, test rode the DCT and loved it so gave it whirl. Only had it a few weeks but so far so good.
Re: africa twin
Whilst at the bike show last year I asked one of the Honda staff about the possibility of tubeless tyres being offered on the AT in the future. He replied that he wasn’t aware of any plans, but said that loads of other people had asked the same question.
Like you Boggs, I must be a wuss. For road use, I’d much prefer tubeless.
AT is a Great looking bike for sure. Now if Honda put that engine especially with DCT option into a touring style bike, I’d be arranging a test ride for sure.

Re: africa twin
Unfortunately the cross tourer DCT weighs a mighty 285kg, and I’d like something lighter. That V4 engine and shaft drive must be the reason. VFR is a bit lighter but too sporty riding position for me. NC750 better, but perhaps that engine is a bit short of power. Most owners seem to love em though. The bike I want doesn’t exist!
