e've been big fans of the Honda Africa Twin
since it arrived on the scene in 2016. Since
then, it's won two comparison tests and finished
a close second in the third test, even though it was essen-
tially the same machine since it debuted in 2016.
The 2018 model year saw a few updates like seven-
stage traction control and little motor tweaks, plus the ar-
rival of the Adventure Sports version with more fuel capac-
ity and longer travel suspension, aimed more at touring
riders who like to venture down a dirt road occasionally.
The new Africa Twin
range is much smarter
than the outgoing two
models, and in some
cases, too smart for
its own good.
