Allow me some words of smile :-)))))))))))
Nearly 2 years ATiCs were discussing about a new Africa Twin. They were
thinking about pro's and con's of the new model, were talking about so
called "photos" in so called "motorcycle magazines", had "very" special
information from the their "very special" dealer and some dealers even
offered to order the bike!
No we can see: The new XL1000V is not an AT, it is even ranked as a tourer
on Honda's pages. I am happy that I stayed always secptical
towards all the news :-)))
However, thanks to all of you for the phantastic input, lots of pictures
and great discussions. Lets wait for another few months. The discussion
is open again :-)))

P.S.: I think you agree if the Vanadero is not a topic to be
mentioned on the ATiC pages.
