Ok, I love my XR650L but must admit it isn't the most comfortable thing to ride on the longer road sections between the dirt roads.
Been looking at the new Honda Africa Twin that just came out. Was able to sit on one for a few minutes at Woods the other day before a guy busted in and said I will buy it and started writing a check on the spot. That was the end of my looking.
Does anybody have insights on this bike? I was very impressed how nimble it felt and the seat height was much lower than my XRL.
The youtube videos all seem to report similar stories, that it is has more of a dual sport bike feel that rides the road very well. Since I am coming from the dirt bike side of things it seems this might be a great fit and a way into more road riding.
Thanks for any "useful" comments LOL
No I am not getting rid of the XRL
