Thanx for the video. I like it. Good all arounder for daily errands, going on week long and longer trips, exploring dirt and gravel roads and trails but not single track and rock bashing riding (I will leave these for my KTM 300 XC). Would definitely prefer tubeless tires for on road trips. Nice dash at night. Enough power, looks good in my eyes, has decent windscreen, good seat to ground leg distance for me with a 32 inch inseam, handguards for cool days, rear rack, metal fuel tank for a magnetic tank bag, decent - ok exhaust rumble, 1 electric outlet on left side to dash. I hear the font fork is too soft as it dives. Maybe change the fork oil by 1 weight higher, thicker to add some compression damping? Could add a GIVI S180T UNIVERSAL DEFLECTOR CLEAR onto the top of the windscreen. I have one on a cruiser and was surprised how it works so well but is not big & is adjustable.
The pegs on that one are 'extra' the standard pegs have removable rubbers on them. On balance I'm very happy with mine, it performed very well on my ride up to Towcester and back. Every bike I've ever owned has had great points, good points, meh points and bad points. I might take Bransons up on the offer of taking the Africa Twin for a spin at some point.
Enjoyed that after my initial confusion. thought I'd seen that bike before. Fair play to you. couldn't test other bikes just in case I liked them ! The more I ride the NC the more I like it. Think it took at least a 1000mls before settling into it. Off playing in Wales tomorrow perfect roads for the NC. Have to be honest the Transalp is a looker.
I agree them Dunlops are not clever, I'm stuck with mine for the mean time on my Transalps to I got the penny's, but defo first thing changing and only thing.
I think this is the last off the line, there are other differences, ecu and thhey won't take a big bore kit, I will chase the forums at some time and find out whats gone on👍
