I can't believe you did that.
What a waste of money.

Re: A fling with an Africa Twin Adventure Sports
Good choice in my opinion. Ive jist spent a fair amount on my QS so 600notes for up and down is well worth it in my opinion

Re: A fling with an Africa Twin Adventure Sports
Just taking the piss, I get the difference between a DCT and a QS... but I couldn’t help myself with the apparent contradiction

Re: A fling with an Africa Twin Adventure Sports
Insurance paid for. I've included pillion cover so I can take the kids out if they want to (my daughter does, my son doesn't seem bothered) and it's an incentive for Mrs Kwacky to get her leathers out.

Re: A fling with an Africa Twin Adventure Sports
Has he ridden the 1090? I was a bit disappointed to be honest.
This is the 2017 model but it's identical to the 2018. It's on Autotrader with Premier Bikes.

(link might not work - £9,300
I'll ask my mate how much the AT is going for. There are a few offers kicking about.

Re: A fling with an Africa Twin Adventure Sports
I 'll send the info, thanks.
Yes he is riding the 1090 and SDGT on Thursday. He has already test rode GS and Multistrada.
Tbh he is not a quick rider by his own admission and tends to just cruise so he will probably be fine.

Re: A fling with an Africa Twin Adventure Sports
He has ridden GS and Multi so far and liked the Multi.
I'll let him know about the Africa Twin cheers.
