2016 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L, 2016 Honda® Africa Twin CRF1000L FOR THE MOST AMBITIOUS ADVENTURES Some people can t help but dream big, plotting the most epic rides to all four corners of the earth. And the all-new Africa Twin is the bike that will let you live those dreams. With a name made famous from Paris to Dakar and beyond, it has renowned reliability, the latest technology, and unsurpassed capability, allowing you to wander as far as your imagination allows.

Twin Intakes The Africa Twin uses a unique twin air-intake design with twin vertical filtration elements. This gives you excellent engine performance with plenty of clean air, even under dusty conditions. COMFORT Rally Windscreen Developed from our racing experience in the Dakar Rally, the Africa Twin s windscreen helps shield you from the wind and the elements, especially during long miles of high-speed touring. At lower speeds, the clear construction gives you better visibility off road.
