Hello PathRider,
My daughter works in Kobe and my wife and I travel to Japan from Australia as often as we can. I would be interested if you can share any information about riding in Japan etc. I bought my Africa twin 3 weeks ago after trading out my vstrom 650 and MT-09. The Africa sits somewhere in between the two in terms of power and torque. Reminds me of riding a oversized crf450r. Lots of useable power, responsive and well balanced. Great ergo's make this bike extremely comfortable and fun to ride. I think the bike is absolutely tremendous value without much compromise. After buying a number of bikes over the years in search of the one for me I think this is it.
