Originally developed as a modern interpretation of the mighty 650cc and 750cc machines that won the Dakar Rally four times in the late 1980s, the Africa Twin is a road-focussed adventure touring bike. It sits above the XL750 Transalp in the Honda stable and competes with the likes of the BMW R1300 GS and KTM 1290 Super Adventure.
We recently sampled the Honda CRF1100 Africa Twin in Adventure Sports guise which starts at R314 999. At an R44 000 premium over the standard Africa Twin, the Adventure Sports features a six-litre bigger 24.8-litre fuel tank, higher windscreen and the option of serious suspension enhancements.
