New African Twin Maybe 1200cc

Rolands' CRF class?

[breakdirt916]

Yes yes Stimilon bike!

[nhbubba]

Fuuuuck no. Will intentionally delay delivery until after just to 110% make sure none of you hoseheads get near it for that event.
The KLX and the KatieM you can have your way with.

SW-Motech support.



Africa Twin: Accessoire - SW Motech nouvelles photos

List price for the racks translates to $250. About my speed. Not seeing them on Revzilla or TwistedThrottle yet though.

Given that Euro prices are nearly always higher, I'd guess those racks will come in closer to $200-$225 for us.

Since the AT will be taking over dirtier duties from my XC, I'll probably switch my Wolfman bags over. The real question will be, do I want to get hard cases for the Tiger since it'll be living out its senior years on pavement...

I've kind of been hoping someone would put in the engineering time to make quick fit adapter racks that would fit to the factory luggage points but were just a tube frame to support soft luggage or small/mid-sized aftermarket cases. (Of which I own 2 sets.)

The SW kit is probably what we are going to get. Tourtech already released a similar item. Priced accordingly of course.

I loved the Motorcyclist praise

Each individual item was a yawner but together it was terrific ??? Honda Advertising dollars at work

A dead center hit on my 2006 Vstrom

1.5 hp and 2 ftlbs gained.


Metric shit-ton of accessories coming online. Bash plates. Rad guards. Luggage options. Farkle mountages... Very well supported machine.

But it doesn't tell us how much hp it had to start? Not a very helpful vid. As a side note. a traditional oval can is starting to look vintage.

[nhbubba]

I liked the video for the sound.
Book rating is 94 hp x 72 lbft.
Supposedly the 94 is important for european licensing reqs.

I get more and more disappointed each time NHBubba posts in this thread without saying he put a deposit on one.

More importantly how much weight did it loose? is it around 400# yet. LOL

[nhbubba]

You could chart my daily "desire" to say eff it and just go put money down on one and it would look like the NASDAQ UWTI ticker.

400, LOL. I heard Kevin Cameron speak the other night and he referred to this category as "adventure barges".

Actual, @ wheel measured power figures.

[nt650hawk]

Power to weight ratio and torque to weight ratios come to mind when reading this

[Paul_E_D]

For an actual adventure ride, the Honda is likely the most useable motor in the category of adventure barges.

[Stromper]

Thats 25HP lost and 50 against ktm

Yes usable low power, fortunately I have a variable throttle allowing for reduced power when required

[nhbubba]

If HP is the answer the KTM loses out to the Multi by at least 20 HP.

[nhbubba]

Crash tested!

[Chippertheripper]

Crash tested!

You already bought one???
See what I did there?

[nhbubba]

So very well played.

[Chippertheripper]

Hah. My only disappointment is that I didn't get to see it.

[nt650hawk]

Can I plate a salvaged bike.😆

[markbvt]

Crash tested!

Noted. First farkle will be crash bars.
