Hi everyone,

I need advice about whether I could realistically consider buying an Africa Twin. My concern is that I'm short (1,72m) and light (66 Kg) and 62 years old. Up to now I've owned several bikes, none bigger or heavier than a 250 (Honda Tornado) and CRF230F's. My initial feeling is that its not a good idea, I don't want to end up a cripple at my age !

I'm sure that while its upright I'll enjoy the bike, but what about on gravel / wet dirt roads, etc. ? I would like to do a lot / most my riding on gravel / dirt roads.

Your practical experiences will be appreciated.
Thanks.
