Finally Revealed at 2015 EICMA Honda CRF 1000 F Africa Twin


Honda are continuing the build-up to the launch of the all-new Africa Twin next year with the second in a series of videos exploring the history of the famous name.
Despite the firm heavily falling back on the road and racing history of the famous Africa Twin name the company is still insisting on calling the bike True Adventure; the name the concept bike shown at the Milan show and then later at Motorcycle Live in the UK was called.
Episode 2 is called “Live Unlike The Others” and Honda says it “focuses on the personal stories of individuals who have all been inspired by the spirit of adventure in their own way. All riders featured are real people, with real stories and many of them are currently on adventures around the world, aboard their Honda motorcycles.”
The first video covered the Paris-Dakar rally racing heritage of the Africa Twin from the heyday of the racing in the 1980s when it was still racing across the desert of Africa.
The new Africa Twin is set to be shown in full finished form in 2015 to go on sale in 2016 according to Supermotoo sources.

                                                            KTM 350 SX-F FACTORY                                            
Proof that the READY TO RACE company does not rest on its laurels is the all-new MXGP competitor, the 350 SX-F Factory, shown in Milan as a premiere. Despite world dominance with MXGP and MX2 titles in 2014 along with the 450 AMA National Motocross title and many other national championships and wins, KTM’s R&D department - along with its Red Bull Factory riders - have developed an all-new vehicle.

After the race is before the race. Still fully motivated to continue the leading role in the highly competitive MXGP class, hand-in-hand with the world champ himself and all-star Stefan Everts, KTM`s MX engineers took all efforts to put together the fastest package ever seen on a MXGP circuit.

Based on an outstanding experience package, the decision was taken again for the proved 350cc formula. On top of that, using KTM`s proven knowledge in frame design, WP`s research and development skills and not to forget about the intense cooperation with KISKA design, Tony Cairoli will bring the all-new 350 SX-F Factory to the gate
