HONDA CRF1000L AFRICA TWIN
FIRST RIDE
P78
We'll get more into all this in a bit.
Two color options are avail-
able—Red/Black/White Dakar
Rally (way cool!) and Silver
(mmm, kind of boring by com-
parison but still looks nice). Both
color versions will be available for
either the manual or DCT bikes.
GET TO THE RIDING
PART ALREADY!
Honda's first plan of action for
us was a relatively short 60-plus-
mile pavement loop on the Africa
Twin, which was a good idea in
that it allowed us/me to get fully
acquainted with the DCT model
and all of its ride modes before
(Above) The Africa Twin is very comfortable on the pavement.
One reason why we like a clutch lever.
