Honda Africa Twin:
Let's start with the name ... Why Africa Twin? Twin
because the engine was a twin-cylinder and Africa
because this bike represented the challenge
launched to BMW, which in the 80s was at the top
of the African off-road marathon rankings, first of all
the historic Paris-Dakar.
Combining Honda's reputation for reliability with off-
road capability and long-distance comfort, the Africa
Twin remains a top choice for adventure-minded
riders seeking versatility and dependability.
