Ive just ordered a new .........
 

Africa Twin.
Fancied a change but have bawked at the price, which was always meant to be be around �9400 for the ABS model ( you can get the DCT model for that in europe.)
There was quite a few unhappy faces at the NEC launch when they announced �10500 for the ABS model and �11400 for the DCT version.
Apparently only 220 have been sold so far in the uk.

Did you order 'local' ?

Postman has delivered a pile of goodies for the BM XR1000 that comes in March.

How about you pack your bike go for a spin up the road to Italy ( I think they have a shop in Milano ? ) and see if anything takes your fancy as they have some nice bikes?

Pete, I was in the dealers yesterday (bought myself a NC750x to go back and forth to work on) - Your new bike looks rather bl00dy tasty :HeyHey_GOO2MN:

I actually think I may consider chopping in the CrossTourer for the AT......

You can't really go wrong with a Honda, I am a bit of a Honda fan. I've had 2 Accords, a CB, a Hornet, 2 CRV's (still got one of them). I don't know anyone that didn't like their XR. They do seem to be quality bits of gear. Although my Honda powered lawnmower has always been a bit of a pig to start which has improved with fuel stabilizer. However it's not my problem now as my son is old enough to cut the grass and helps build up his tennis arm muscles.

Just saw Honda Belfasts new AT demo getting a good run over the hills outside the town. Looks good.
