Those are roughly 8,000-9,000 cheaper for a super low km 2022 than a africa twin around me.
I nearly bought an Africa Twin, they are a top adventure tourer no doubt. Like all decent ADV bikes they have a high seat and that can take a little getting used too if you have only ridden road. I decided on the Yamaha T7 instead, it was a bit lighter, and cheaper. I have no regrets, the T7 is just as reliable as the Honda.
The AT actually has 2 seat heights, lol
it fits into 2 different positions and makes a big difference.
Very simple, and I've never seen that done before.
Yes, I saw that when I test rode one, high or Higher
It's a good idea too, there are a few riders out there well over 6'. I put pivot pegz on mine and recently inverted them so as they were lower by 20mm. That gives me a better feel on the bars with no sacrifice on ground clearance but at 6' I can barely flatfoot the T7. The Yamaha is also very top heavy with a full tank, ok while moving but you need to be careful when stopping on uneven ground.

Yeah man, that young guy is such a gutsy rider, my hat is off to him!
It’s not like Busas are in short supply so I say if you wanna modify one like that… go for it!
