With the new 1100 engine and a better road bias of this NT1100 I could definitely see this as a replacement for my current bike though, especially with the DCT which they seem to of perfected now. I think it will be a lot more expensive than a Yamaha 900 though, by a good bit.
By 2018 Honda ironed out many complaints in the Africa Twin. In 2020 they added even more fun and anguish, but at least those new issues have nothing to do with the engine/drivetrain, frame and suspension. Riders appear to be buying up the 2020s in droves, but yeah, it ain't cheap.
