@Two Plugs - this is probably a good bike for you after White has done her duties. I'm still not sure about the suspension on it, I'd keep the Ohlins you just fitted to White and put it on this bike if you ever bought it. I've made all the changes I need to my bike other than fuel range and this is coming. The thing I like about the Camel fuel solution, apart from it giving the AT a marginally larger fuel capacity over this new bike, is that I only fill the auxiliary tank when I need it.
It's nice to hear what everyone would like on the new Africa Twin, larger tank (check), tubeless rims (check) maybe also ask Honda for a 1100 VTwin engine and they might start producing Varaderos again. If only Carlsberg did bikes. VARADERO
The Africa Twin's parallel twin really acts, behaves, sounds and feels like a Vtwin.
Well It's great they make some kind of bigger AT, though I must be the only one who doesn't want it, honestly for travelling long distances on all kinds of terrain, I prefer my 2017 model with less electronics, really who needs 3 ride modes the throttle on these AT is so user friendly, better have much less possibility of failure !Bigger tank is nice but honestly 400 km is already enough for me, I prefer having an external fuel container that I can fill or not, depending on what happens and save weight.I'm not an experienced off-roader, so longer suspensions I guess I wouldn't feel the difference, 7 level traction control good but no problems with the 3 level one, again I think for my technical level it's not required, I just would love a cruise control on mine which strangely they didn't add with the ride by wire, pretty weird Honda !

OMG I would die with my 1m83 on such a small bike and no world travel with that thanks
