New Honda Africa Twin!

2016 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L arrives early next year.

For those of us who love motorcycle adventure (and perhaps desired to Transalp in late 1980 but never managed to pull the trigger on one), we have great news: Honda has announced it will sell a new Africa Twin starting early in 2016. This new Honda, known as the Twin CRF1000L Africa, is a production version of the real adventure prototype revealed little information on the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan last fall.



Honda says the new 2016 Honda Africa Twin will be faithful to the attributes of the original Twin XRV650 Africa produced by HRC in 1988 and 1989 as well as the model XRV750 since late 1989 that helped start the movement ADV. This is the way to say the new Honda Africa Twin has been designed as a scout durable and comfortable all day with enough power to swallow large chunks of highway miles with ease.


 
Interestingly, this new Africa Twin that looks like it's powered by a twin 1000cc parallel rather than a V-twin like the original, it will be available with the latest version of the dual clutch transmission Honda tuned to work well on earth . Honda also says this new Africa Twin benefits of everything the company has learned on and off the road in the last decade, including the return of the HRC team for the Dakar in 2013.
