Anyone seen the NM4? Looks cool, but I have never seen one in person.

If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.
much like a scooter to me - cool automatic tranny if you wish - kinda long reach for a short person - hard ride poor suspension and air management - very little actual storage - built more to appeal to the twenty something crowd who grew up on transformer movies.

The new African Twin is catching my eye. Looks like a kick butt dual sport. Maybe I'm just missing the off road stuff.

Africa Twin is a very tall bike, I had difficulty trying to swing a leg over it, to mount it.

I just sat on an AT yesterday waiting for my rear tire install to finish. It is tall for sure. I also sat on a gorgeous blue FJR. That was a comfortable seat. I want to take an FJR out for a ride.

I could really do the Africa Twin... it's the updated version of my old Trans Alp. (I miss that bike).

One item in the article I read in MC news, said the seat had some built in adjustment that allow a lower stance and center of gravity.

Yes, stock seat height is 34" and it lowers to 33"
My inseam is 30" so I would have to mount it by stepping of the right peg (with my right foot) as it's on it's sidestand, and then swing my left leg over. Same way as I currently mount my DR650

It's highly rated in the "big" dual-sport class. That being said, don't plan on doing much real "dirt" riding, as this bike has too much weight to be a serious off road machine. Great for gravel roads, fire break trails, etc, but you won't like it when you have to stand it back up, out in the woods, or in a swampy area, especially when riding alone. If I traveled dirt or gravel roads, it would work perfect. However, each to their own choice.
I can apprecuate it's limitations however, the idea that I could blast up and down some remote roads and haul asz on the pavement, still intrigues me.
Just conversation without the personal touch.
