Nice to crosspost this answer to the Africa Twin Mailinglist without
even mentioning it :-)))))
To answer the question I would like to add, that the AT is the most
"offroady" bike of all the three. However, it does not have the power of a
GS and may lack some comfort, but if going for a so called "dual sport"
bike, nearly undestroyable, I would give it a test ride. IMHO the main
argument for the Transalp could be the price ...
Also in comparison to the 1100GS I could imagine that the new Varadero is
a serious competitor.
