If Honda comes out with a baby AT, or that CB1100X based on the AT engine - my knees will really get weak.

I avoided the Africa Twin for about three years. I couldn't stand them. They were UG--LEE. All ADV bikes are ugly. My CB1100 was gorgeous. End of story.

Then I acquired the NC750X DCT for my daily mule. Only 55 hp, but very useable. It was so easy to jump on and go. It was significantly more comfortable than the CB1100. I was concerned.

The AT reared it ugly again in the showroom. DCT was an option. I test rode one . Suddenly the AT was the best least ugly ADV bike on the market. I started to get dizzy - maybe what you called "weaker".

Today I ride the beast. It has some stupid power. I am also an Africa Twin forum super moderator. Undecided A crazy turn of events.

Just a couple years ago I thought, "No way, it won't happen. CB1100 is for life."
