TOKYO: Honda plans to show off the new CRF1000L Africa Twin later on this year sometime in Europe. Per Honda’s original announcement, the bike will be launching in Europe first this autumn. “Several versions” of the model will be available, as well as four color options. Price will start at €12,100.
The new Africa Twin’s “spirit” hails from the XRV750 Africa Twin model, bringing 1000cc goodness alongside a max torque of 98Nm and 70kW power output.
Other features include 21 and 18-inch front and rear spoked wheels, dual headlights, an adjustable seat height (870mm and 850mm), and a large 18.8 liter gas tank which allows the bike to travel up to 400 kilometers before having to fill up again. The maker has included its Honda Selectable Torque Control system, which brings three control levels, as well as an option to turn off ABS on the rear wheel.
