Subject: New infos on Hondas 1000cc enduro
Hi folks,
this is brand new information, collected at the disyears "Transalp Rally",
organized by Honda Austria. I asked them about the new Africa Twin, and
this is what they told me:
- IT IS NOT AN AFRICA TWIN, but an seperate model instead (couldn't
remember the name, but it's called like a beach in Cuba)
- engine from the VTR, but smaller carbs
- power: 96 hp !!!!!!!!!!!
- face from the CBR900
- casted wheels, no spoke wheels
- it will be presented at thisyears Intermot
So it will be definitely not the Africa most of us wished themselves.
BUT, as they told me, the current Africa Twin model will be built one more
year and then be replaced with a more Rallye-like bike.
