Hello all, just picked up a silver DCT. Had to ride up to Indiana to get it, that's the closest one i could find. I would have preferred the red Dakar paint I think, but they're even harder to find, and honestly the silver is still pretty dang sharp.
Got to enjoy the bikes highway manners on my 150 mile ride home, handles great even compared to my NC700X that I traded in. I spent most of my time with the NCX trying to make it into something like the AT, I grew up on dirt bikes and just missed being able to hit a trail or travel road along the way comfortably. Nothing against the NCX, it was a great bike, but it would never be able to live up to what Honda has done with this Africa Twin. I suppose that's why its twice as expensive.

Thank you. Yes I have heard the KAT needs a smaller bike so I haven’t tried it. I haven’t yet figured out the GPS tracks thing, but if I do I’ll reach out. I might try Wildcat park. Might also look to adding a smaller bike, maybe a scrambled type.
I highly recommend a Garmin 600 series Montana, older gps but bullet proof. Tracks get sent to it and all you do is follow the yellow brick road, of any other color
