Are you as excited for the2016 Honda Africa Twinas we are ? genuine stain execution in a light , low-priced , reliable software package . Now , we can see near the integral matter in this new patent filing .
Thanks to an privileged source at Honda , we ’ve had an inside line on the Africa Twin for a while now . We were the first to unwrap its novel outside - the - frame airbox , along with specs like its 1,000cc parallel - twinned , dual - clutch transmittance and 440lbs soused weighting .
Then , Honda revealed the Africa Twin at last fall ’s EICMA show , justlightly disguise with disguise and clay .

What ’s new in this patent image is our first literal spirit under the bodywork , revealing the final arranging of that airbox , its copulation to the fuel tank and anatomy and even what the final , disappointingly bulky rear mud guard will look like .

The whole musical theme with the airbox is to free up way for a decent - size fuel tank , permit that to behave its system of weights as far - forward as potential and to do all that while giving the bike slim , dirt bike - similar proportions the rider will be able-bodied to easily grip with their peg .

Here , you’re able to see that mounted behind the fairing and outside the frame , complete with its forward - face atmosphere uptake and its route to the railway locomotive over the frame and under the front of the tank .
Compared to , say , the class define BMW R 1200 GS Adventure , the Africa Twin promises to be around 130lbs lighter , and will have ergonomics more akin to a real dirt wheel than a large holidaymaker . Those set aside the rider to agitate their weight towards the front or rearward during gymnastic horseback riding . You should be able-bodied to rail this thing around a banked bit like a motocross bike .
