1993 brought the second-generation (RD07) Africa Twin, with a new frame, restyled bodywork and fuel tank, engine revisions and a lower seat, at the cost of a little extra weight. A wider 140-section rear tyre was fitted, and the Tripmaster computer carried over. It kept the earlier bike's easy-going character, rewarding smooth, momentum-based riding.
