Hi Chris,captinktm wrote:Africa twin? Really Steve. I guess you have ridden one? I have n't and probably wont, but I have been following the long termer they have on MCN and they have thrown a grand at it and still the power is n't blowing the skirt up? I did see one out here and to be honest it look like a 5 year old design. What say you? Oh and you made a mistake on the KTM obviously it would have to be a 525 (which are getting rarer than hen's teeth now) (thumbs)SteveW wrote:There's an interesting article on the ABR website "Five bikes we'd love to have in our garage this Summer"
Here's mine....of course being a fantasy garage they'd all be split brand new.
Honda 1000 Africa Twin, (Tough one as it would probably be the most used of my Five, I'm a big fan of the GS800, but the new Africa Twin has caught my eye)
KTM 450exc.....In my opinion it's the best for off road fun
Honda Goldwing.....If you're going to have trip on a Big Plush Motorcycle, why not the biggest and the plushest?
Yamaha Tmax Scooter.....Big Scooters are brill, enough said
CCM450.....Rough-road or no-road strap on some soft luggage and head for the hills.
I'm out in Bulgaria next week, just for a week, flying out with the Mrs.
No I've not ridden the new AT. But I guess I'll give one a go with an open mind.
I'm back out in Bulgaria in early October, in the transit custom van, it's not huge and I'll have a bit of gear and a bike in the back....but I'll have a bit of space for some bits and bobs....if you need anything.
