I have been fortunate enough to own both my CB1100 DLX and an Africa Twin Adventure Sport DCT for the last 18 months. I have just sold the Africa Twin not because I didn’t like it, quite the opposite I just found that I could not justify two bikes and cannot see getting rid of the CB. Ride wise the AT was more comfortable, more powerful (just) and gave such a road prescence I felt more seen by traffic, oh and the sound was great.
It’s not fair to compare the CB as they are totally different bikes to own and ride. I got a lot of thumbs up on the AT and wish I could keep both but it has been sold now to a neighbor so at least I can still see it.
The CB had been sitting unused for a while and I have just recommissioned her (needed a spark plug as one had failed) some fresh oil and a new filter and she is back to normal. First ride yesterday brought back the love of this bike along with a numb backside! She will be used a lot more now but just turned 2,000 miles yesterday.
