Honda CRF-1000L Africa Twin
It was a 6 day trip in Badplaas, Hazyview and Swaziland.
We trailer-ed the bikes to "Cradle-of-life" guest farm just outside Badplaas.
We were 5x Africa Twins, a 1x 701 and later in the trip 2x 990's and a 690 joined us.
The Honda dct's made riding in the technical sections much much easier. I am currently on a manual but will hopefully change to a dct by year's end. 
Here is the video:

Great stuff, now that is commitment !
Exactly,  Twister did not want to spoil the group's fun and decided to stick with the group until the last day with 2x broken bones in his foot. :thumleft: :thumleft:
 
Very cool vids and pics dudes!  :thumleft:
Just reminds me that I need to get out of here more myself on some longer trips. The terrain you were riding would have been a breeze (mostly) on my XR400R. Cool to see that the big
bikes handle it too. To have the handling of an XR400R with the power and cruising abilities of a CRF1000L! would be fantastic - I'm still looking for my unicorn...
 
Great  :thumleft: I said it and say it again....you ous can ride the big bonies very well - coconuts, drop offs, climbs, water in, water out etc = no problem  ;D
 
Too lekker Pieter! Great pics and vids.
I'm surprised you haven't gone the 500 option with the kinds of crazy rides you guys do on those behemoths!
