I quote myselfe from my home page:
"Lately there have been roumors that a new Africa Twin is coming, and
many claim to know what the new model
will look like.
Don't hold your breath!
It is ofcourse a fact that this model had no major changes for some
time now, but it is also true that it sells like
hot bread. So even if it changes noone knows wht it will really look
like, just as they didn't know about any other
Honda model, until Honda was ready to show it to
the world!"
