I think I would enjoy one of these but I would like to know about accessories

Ironically my friend just sent me these pictures and the following text a couple of days ago:

 

Came across an African Twin rolling through town. The rider is from Japan writing an article for a Japanese magazine. The bike is amazingly well balanced and he said there is no wind to deal with on the highway. Awesome. Available in August.

I worked in a Honda Shop back in 73 when the CR250M Elsinores came out and had the first one in West Michigan = there was MAGIC between those bars!! When the CRF450's came out I had a buddy who bought one and I spent a fair amount a time both woods and track riding that puppy - there was MAGIC between those bars!! I just gotta hunch that this 1 Litre CRF is gonna once again - Honda KNOWS how to put MAGIC between those bars!!!

 

Good post Tuffy - thanks!!

I have the Yamaha Tenere that is their competition for the Africa Twin. I really like it. It is pretty quick and handles well on the highway and can also cut between on gravel really well also. The prices on 3 year old bikes have really dropped because Yamaha dumped a whole bunch of brand new 2013s on the market. I got mine with 36000 miles and $4000 in accessories for $7800 last fall. The only problem is that it is awful easy to ride fast. I'm still putting more miles on the Venture because it is my work bike and I am saving the Tenere for long trips.
