I chose the Africa Twin for a couple of reasons really. I have travelled a few of the countries in Asia, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia etc on rented XR & CRF 250s and parts always seemed readily available for the Hondas but the main reason was simply nostalgia. I have always loved the old Africa Twins but I was reluctant to plan a big trip on a bike that old. When the new one was released it was a no brainer for me.
In the end I don't think it matters a whole lot which bike you choose. You've just got to go with what makes you happy
