So folks in on the edge of taking the plunge to the africa twin. Anyone else switch from the Nc to the at? What did you notice?

$$$ is the only impediment.
The VFR1200x DCT is stopping me.........
If I make a change or an additional bike the VFR1200x DCTcomes to mind and not the AT.

What's stopping you from getting an AT
Tube tires. Chain drive. Poor fuel economy (46 US MPG on Fuelly)
But, like kumatae said, they may be dirt cheap in a few years, then it would be a toss up between the AT and the Super Tenere. But due to the AT's tubes and chain, I think the Super Ten would win.
Price. Can't justify it right now. Hoping AT will have a resale value like NC700X in five years.

Buying house (with open carport), still paying on nc, working too much for too little, and I'd probably prefer a crf 250 or similar, since there are a few good trails around here and I don't "adventure" much.
I don't mind the chain drive. I've had both and I enjoy both. The tube tires are a sore spot for sure. Coming from the Nc I can see why 46 is garbage for that size of engine.

$$$, tube tires which I don't see as an advantage on a 500lb bike, no frunk, would I enjoy it around town as much as the NC and would I really enjoy it that much more than the NC off-road? Next bike is going to be a very light 2 smoker.
Mileage, cost, and the fact that I threw my leg over the saddle of an AT last weekend and couldn't touch on either side..... I love my NC more all the time. I consider it to be nearly the perfect commuter bike.

Probably sacrilege here but I barely use the frunk. I don't like leaving my helmet in the cali sun. It is quite nice on the few times I did use it.
