Just checked my bike?
Dam it has the same rust in the same spot??
So what big deal I will cry all night long now and will need to change my bike.
Just checked my friends $4.500.000 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster and shit me found some rust as well.
Wake up it's just a dam bike which can and will rust.

Yes, and by the way, you need to read this .....http://advrider.com/index.php?thread...h-a-t.1172713/

Your experience is certainly a strong endorsement for the goodness of Honda's new Africa Twin ... but ....

Since we all can't possibly have in person experience with every Africa Twin in the world ... READING ... is about the only way we can gather information, get the opinions of other AT owners.

If you have a better idea to get feed back from HUNDREDS of other AT owners,
I'd love to hear it.

The real test is the credibility of those numerous sources. But even I, who have not tracked the AT that closely, have heard about the foot pegs breaking off in a minor fall. There have been a couple threads over on ADV Rider and elsewhere documenting this.

Others who follow those threads closely might know more ... I don't.

So yes, I read about that and several other rider reviews here and there. Hope that doesn't make me look too stupid!

Of course we may find stuff that's made up on the forums, or hyperbole ... and under reporting of problems too ... which I've seen BIG TIME on BMW forums. (It's like a religion ... criticism is not ALLOWED!

Seems to me the overall experience with the AT is good for most riders ... just a few glitches in an otherwise near perfect machine.

I read all the US and some British bike magazines. I've read/veiwed several good long term reviews, comparos to other bikes ...plus Video reviews on Utube. For the most part ALL GOOD ... and in terms of off road the Honda
has easily vanquished current competition.

Once the new KTM 790 and Yamaha T7 hit the market ... those opinions may change.
