New Africa Twin Adventure Sports probably will be my C14 replacement

The insurance settlement probably isn't going to cover the cost of a new Wing, so I've also been looking at the Africa twin. The 2018 Adventure Sports model has a more rugged suspension, with longer travel, and pretty big 6.4 gallon fuel tank, factory heated grips, and a really cool (in my opinion) paint job. Been watching the heck out of Youtube videos about it, and I like the engine, and how comfortable everyone seems to think it is. I've sat on a few in the dealerships, and the seat is pretty nice. Also, my banged up knee doesn't have to bend super far to get on the footpegs. Still hoping I'll be able to get a Goldwing, but if I wind up on the AT, I won't really be too heartbroken.

Edit to add: Oh, and it is also available with the 6 speed DCT transmission, which is something I'm pretty stoked about.

That's a little better looking than a lot of the beak bikes. LOL
