Can't say enough good things about my Africa Twin. At ten grand less then the BMW I went to the dealer to buy, I dont mind dropping it. Well, not as much as I'd mind dropping a bike that costs ten grand more! I'm heading out this weekend, taking my 16 year old nephew to an offroad course. Got him a little CRF240L to use. If you're planning on road touring with easy dirt roads, I'd get the BMW. If you feel like acting a kid, look at the new KTM 790 Adventure R. If you want to ride to Moab instead 9f trailering a bike, Acrica Twin all day any day. Here's my bike waiting for a new rotor. Old rotor was bent somewhere south of Superior.
