That's a tough question. I really liked the Africa Twin for its off road worthiness. The 21" front tire, the way the power was delivered. It was smooth and fairly capable. On road it was a joy to ride but lacked the punch of the GS. It was the 1000cc version though. Maybe the 1100 is better.

The GS feels more sporty on the road and that's kinda where I live, the sporty side. The GS is also loaded up with electronic suspension adjustment, cruise control, heated grips, TPMS, etc, etc.

The GS is also quite capable off road with the enduro pro modes. So I prefer the GS for my riding style. It's such a great highway cruiser to eat up miles, super fun on the twisty bits (more so than the A/T) and powerful, and easy to ride on forest service roads, etc. I'm too chicken to take it on single track stuff. Way too heavy for that for this guy.
