These are the first full photo of the all - new2016 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin , perhaps the first bike to genuinely live up to the risky venture motorcycle ’s potential difference . adult dirt bicycle ? Yep , and not much more .
As we ’ve entirely divulge through various leaks from our Honda insider , that ’s a 21 - inch front wheel , an 18 - inch rearward and anovel frame / airbox / fuel armored combat vehicle arrangementthat pushes the airbox outside the skeleton , allowing the fuel tank to slide forrader , allowing a recollective seat and more grunge - similar ergonomics .
Honestly , after hearing this thing pass in that leak out video , I ’m passably darn closely to putting down a deposit on one .
What the ADV market has lacked for so long is a unfeigned , scaled - up dirt bike . Something that does n’t librate way too much or have too much complication . We ’re told Honda is targeting a ironical exercising weight of 440lbs . And , this all - Modern 1,000cc parallel - similitude sounds like its been tuned to work like a bounteous single , delivering immediate response and big torque over useless high - rev HP . All backed up with Honda reliability , pricing and its vast dealer web . Stay tuned for more .
