The Legend is Returning. The Africa Twin.

Legendary Heritage.

The Heritage of the CRF1000L Africa Twin is rich with success. Thoroughly equipped for true adventure, with a potent engine and dynamic chassis ready to explore continents, on- or off-road.

Cutting Edge Technology.

A steel semi-double cradle frame provides a balance of highway touring capability — even while fully loaded — genuine off-road performance, agility and sheer strength.

Go Anywhere.

Following its design theme of "unlimited adventure," the Africa Twin is styled with minimum bodywork in a tough, lightweight form that offers both weather protection for the rider and a slim, agile feel.

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin. Coming Soon.

The all-new Honda Africa Twin is the machine that will let you wander wherever your adventures take you.

Designed to maximise rider input the Africa Twin will perform outstandingly both on and off-road.

The "true adventure" approach starts with the engine, which has to perform in off-road situations as well as on-road long-range touring and all points in between.

Digital dash keeps you in touch with what’s happening and aids your adventure.

The long-travel Showa inverted fork is fully adjustable and features dual radial-mount Nissin four-piston brake callipers and 310mm "wave" style floating discs.
