Any Africa Twin riders out there?

[Popster]

Hello all. I have a cousin in Europe who has a mint '95 Africa Twin that he's willing to sell to me for a pretty good price. It has 34,000 km and looks like it just came off the showroom floor. I also have cousins in the shipping industry, so I could possibly get a special rate for shipping it to Canada. My questions to the current owners out there, or previous owners is; how do you feel about the bike? Is parts availability an issue? Does your love of the bike outweigh the possible shortfalls of parts availability?

Many thanks for your responses :0)

(on a side note, I've seen a lot of very cool bike models over here, compared to Canada)

Depends on how much he wants for it. They have a few known faults like the fuel pump and voltage regulator. Wear and tear parts might be hard to source here (sprockets, etc). Great bikes though. Wish I could get my hands on one.
