Congrats on the new arrival, And its Twins! Africa Twin I meant I have cravings for a Twin in the future, Would be nice if you do a small review.
Should be able to do 2 small reviews...the blokey review & the womany review It's actually the blokes, we both wanted one but he's beat me to it. It's the dct model tho & i want the standard model. So it'll be interesting to see what it's like all round. I like simplicity & my heads already spinning with all the buttons & stuff
The hp4 is also the blokes, but the few times I've ridden it, it was a world apart from the s1000rr we had previously. Beautiful to ride in every way. It's kept as a fine weather summer bike tho! But it's horses for courses & I need an all year round sports bike I can bang the miles on, easy to ride & is bomb proof so the Blade is spot on for me. There have been no issues with the hp4 since he's had it & i have to say it does look absolutely stunning in the flesh!
I'm planning on going with a few mates to do the North Coast 500 later in the summer so it'll probably be more suitable than the blade for that. Depends if he who must be obeyed will let me take it that far from his apron strings. Tbh if I like it enough I'll probably get my own sooner than planned & then I'll be off everywhere
I'd love to go there, looks nice, I was tempted to get the Africa twin last year, was thinking of going on a long trip somewhere else in the world but the dream was quickly destroyed when I was reminded of my family responsibilities! So got quite a few years to wait until I can think about that again!
