Saw my first Africa Twin motorcycle today at the Honda Dealership. Impressive, but really doesn't meet my needs. If I were going big, I think I would go with the Super 10.
Saw that today too. Tempting as that's like the one I have a deposit on. But the deposit is non-refundable and his bike is about 10 hrs away from me at least. I'll just wait until mine comes in July. I'm currently too busy selling my house and buying another. Got packing and moving to be done soon. Should be settled into the new place by the time mine arrives in July.OCR or anybody interest there is a DCT (silver) just posted For Sale in the ADV Flea Market. It has 20 miles on it.
The owner is saying that the DCT is just not for him - it's too smooth shifting and he prefers the feel of a manual transmission. at 20 miles I can't imagine he got to really try the different S modes which change the shift character but it doesn't really matter. The bike is not for him, it's for sale and someone might get a deal. At present he's asking for nearly new price including fees.
Are those spoked wheels tubeless like the BMW GS? I can't see using spokes due to the problems with a puncture in the middle of nowhere.

Am I seeing this right?
Some of the "veterans" here athi fum are switching to AT or some other bikes?
Are you guys gonna keep the NC, regardless of the new acquisitions?
Hmm..
I'm still a few years out from replacing my NC, but I've started to window shop. I totally agree, the S10 seems great, the AT is probably overly dirt oriented for my needs. S10 gives me tubeless tires and shaft drive, which I'd love (So does the VFR1200X). But... then I get to that weight figure. Around 600 lb with bags just seems like a LOT (Same for the VFR1200X)! I need to ride one to see what it feels like I guess. The NC certainly feels lighter than it is...
What about valve adjustments for you S10 owners? Seems I've read it's a royal PITA, and about 50% of the time you actually need to swap a shim or two (ie, pull your cams). I sure have been spoiled by the NC's 1.5hr valve check procedure....
Those are the things that keep pushing me back to the AT.

Thing of possible interest to note if you haven't scoped it out already- the AT has screw and lock nut adjusters for the exhaust valves, but shim types for the intake valves! That struck me as unusual, never heard of that before.
Oh really?? I totally missed that I guess. They had a cut-away AT motor at the MotoGP race and I remember seeing screw and lock nut adjusters and thinking that was good, but I must have only looked at the exhaust and assumed the intakes were the same. Strange set up for sure!

A good thing is I guess, being a "Unicam" vs a dohc, there is only one cam to remove instead of two.
