Overview[edit | edit source]
Honda True Adventure Africa Twin Prototype
Honda
brought out the True Adventure prototype at the 2014 EICMA show. Despite not
being a production model, the True Adventure prototype looks ready for prime
time.
Most obvious is the bikes parallel twin engine, which is rumored to be 1,000cc
in displacement. That sizing/weight class seems to jive with the dual front
brake discs, which also sports an ABS tone ring. We can expect Honda to have
traction control operating off the front and rear wheel speeds and other
electronic packages as well.
Less noticeable is the fact that the Africa Twin prototype doesnt have a clutch lever or gear shifter on it. Whether its an overshight from Honda, or the sign of a new shifting mechanism from the Japanese manufacturer is up for debate, but its an interesting development.
