New Africa Twin 2014

I just came back from getting away and in front of my bike here to see if I'm imagining it. But even allowing for the shadow, that doesn't look like a 21" front. We know the real AT is 21", but maybe not in this video.

edit: forget it, just my imagination.

Looks about right for 21" to me.

Yeah, was going to say, it looks like a 21" to me. The top is just obscured by the fender, and the angle makes it look like the wheel is smaller as a result. Also looks too skinny to me to be a 110/80-19.

I can sense genuine excitement in that video , .... good .

This is my business

Baba san - they have said 900 ccm its too much , he said wait give it chance .... Fireblade was the birth of supersports .
Reminds me of some comments , 1000 its too much blabla .

damn that video is putting some serious cause for concern on getting the cb500x .

" Yesterday we tested an adventure bike which is going to change the face of the adventure world. Forever. "

165 kg's dry.

So that's what a three cylinder rotary diesel sounds like.

I wish

It will be, or close.

How else are you going to 'change the adventure world forever'? Can only be weight. All the other bases are already covered by the evil troika.

You mean they wimped out on the cargo..

So 185 dry for a 1000ccm would be not good enough ?

No. The HP2 is 176 kg's dry, 1143cc's, and the engine/driveshaft/final drive is an immense lump, so 165 kg's.

Yes it would be good enough...

They are riding it in Europe so someone should be able to get a spy shot...

Quit letting us down...

From what he said he road it in traffic and passed a tractor.

Why would you want spy shots? They have had the bike at bike shows. I have been saying all along that the bike at the shows had been ridden. And people just wanted to talk about the painted on mud

Either you're a comedian, or you're setting yourself up to be seriously disappointed.
