    Well, there's plenty of threads on xrv.org.uk discussing how an Africa Twin could be "improved" with more power, adding road wheels and tyres, firming up suspension, etc...

    ...so judging by what we seem to want, Triumph are right on the money

    I'd buy one if I wanted to replace the Speed Triple. But not if I wanted to replace the Africa Twin. I think the 'trials' version of the Enfield Bullet comes pretty close to being a good AT replacement - dog slow, sh*te build quality, but reasonable running costs and a certain improbable charm.
    flat out on utterly inappropriate tackle

    Oooh very like a Fazer 1000 isn't it?!

    I imagine though that if they do release an ADV version it'd be pretty sexy
