Like, Honda revealed this morning at the Eicma motorcycle show in Milan the descendant of the Africa Twin… which is currently only at the prototype stage.
According to our information gathered on site, this visually well advanced prototype is called CRF1000F but "it is not its commercial name", warns Bruno Chemin, communications director at Hodna France. The name of Africa Twin would indeed be on the "short list"…
Standing on a podium surmounted by the slogan "True Adventure", between the CRF450 Rally of Team HRC and the legendary NXR750 of Gilles Lalay (winner of the Paris Dakar 1989), covered with mud to support its trail orientation, this second Honda prototype (with the ) features an inverted fork and radial 4-piston radial calipers.
We also note the use of a perimeter frame with a tubular-type rear loop and a parallel twin-cylinder type engine, whose exact displacement – a priori 1000 cc according to Honda France – and the performance has not been communicated..
"The True Adventure prototype synthesizes the directions and the possible choices of Honda for the future of its Trail range", explains the manufacturer, specifying that this prototype is "designed to offer real off-road capabilities", but that it has also been developed "to provide a solid foundation for adventurers and always ride them".
Questioned by MNC, Honda France revealed to us that this motorcycle in its final version should arrive in the "by September 2015". No other info is currently available … But stay tuned !
