🎍 Honda Africa Twin Common Problems
I rode a stock one with the 6 spd on asphalt only so I can't comment on the DCT or the offroading experience, sorry. They are not purposely withholding production.

There’s decent access to the top-end of the parallel twin but still budget for a bill of around £500 (dealers offer plans to make the cost easier to swallow).

No way need to travel miles to a dealer to clear. Running on a centre stand/ paddock stand sometimes confuses it.

The original Honda Transalp XL600V was introduced in 1987. The decal under the seat describes its intent as “Rally Touring”. Like “Africa Twin,” the “Transalp” name has roots in Honda dual sports from the ’80s. The Transalp actually came first, debuting in 1986 as the XL600V with a 583cc 52° liquid-cooled V-Twin, while the Africa
BMW's GS series first showed up in 1980. Their boxer engine more than half a century before that. They have had a lot of time to get established in the adventure field, perhaps even defining it. Despite some mechanical issues for the most part BMW motorcycles have a good reputation for reliability.

The Africa Twin 1100 cranks out 101 horsepower and 77 foot-pounds of torque from its 1,084 cc engine. Triumph's 1200 cc twin puts down 90 horsepower and churns out 81 foot-pounds of grunt. Photo by Spenser Robert. Ultimately though, we were both enamored with Triumph’s Scrambler XE.
In spite of its $5,000 price tag, the TW200 features quality paint and above average build. Adam Waheed. You’d be surprised how much pep this little thumper is. This 13-some horsepower engine

A legend was born. That first Africa Twin was launched on May 20 th 1988 and proved an immediate sensation (even though it was never officially imported into the UK).
