I rode a euro Africa Twin in the early 90s - on a business trip to the Netherlands and one of the engineers I was working with let me ride his...
A friend here had a Trans-Alp -the american dumbed down version of it...
Just thinking about it makes me really hate American Honda... I always wanted the "real one" and couldn't buy it here...
This new bike is an inline twin rather than the inline v twin of the older africa twin - I sure hope it has some long stroke kinda torque for the fun to ride factor. Otherwise, it's a nice exercise with pretty looks - but misses the mark completely.
