I'm after a all rounder if it exists, looking to ride the B roads with the odd A road plus the lanes and the odd 100 mile run around, possibly the Taffy Dakar. I have looked at the SWM300, CCM450 Beta Xtrainer (nice) my bike history is mainly road orientated, Multistrada, 2016 AT for 2500 miles, (it just didn't feel right) currently a 1993 Cagiva W16 and a 2012 Versys 1k. do I need more than one bike?
You can't go far wrong with the new Africa Twin in my view, standard clutch and gearbox model.
I did 2000kms or tarmac road in the Alps this year, snow, ice, wet and dry - simply superb and I want one.
The off road ability gets rave reviews if you fit the right tyres and go for the standard clutch and box for UK lanes.
Should then be the only bike you'll need.
