Africa twin is still a good motor, even if it's a parallel twin. A quick look at the parts fiche suggest it's a 3 bearing crank, which already takes it a step ahead of the venerable nt650.**YAWN**
I got excited, thinking "Hawk" meant a new NT650.
Like, V-twin.
Maybe owning that KTM950 Adventure -S can be blamed for my attraction to V- motors these days? And riding this 1300 motor hasn't hurt, either.
I suppose Honda had a boatload of that color paint left over and just had to wake up the old design team to dispose of it?
