Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports Concept
The adventure motorcycle market is
booming worldwide and that’s why the manufacturers felt the need to have more
than one version. And now Honda is joining the bandwagon too.
The Japanese manufacturer has showcased
the concept version of the Africa Twin Adventure Sports on its official
website. While at first glance, you won’t see a big difference between this
concept and the Africa Twin, it’s been showcased to gauge the reaction of
hardcore adventure tourers online. Cosmetically, this concept looks more rugged
and tough with the introduction of a big aluminium bellypan. Other additions
are a flatter motocross-style seat and new tail unit that sports an ‘Adventure
Sports’ logo – the one that’s seen on the first generation Africa Twin.
Being a concept, Honda has taken off the
indicators and the rear-view mirrors, but it might come with the production
version, if it hits the production line. The engine, chassis and most of the bodywork
are that of the African Twin, including the paint scheme. Honda hasn’t revealed
its plans for this concept, but there might be a slight chance of the company
introducing this motorcycle with the dual-clutch transmission model only.
Luckily, the Indian consumers will soon
get to buy the Africa Twin in the next couple of months. But the best part is
that it’ll be assembled in India and not imported from Japan.
