Honda Crf1100l Africa Twin Adventure Sports
The Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin was introduced in 2020 as the successor to the CRF1000L, featuring a larger 1084cc parallel-twin engine and significant updates to electronics and ergonomics. The Adventure Sports variant builds on the standard model with a larger fuel tank, longer suspension travel, and more advanced electronic rider aids, catering to serious long-distance adventure touring. It continues Honda's legacy dating back to the original XRV650 Africa Twin of 1988, which was inspired by Honda's dominance in the Paris-Dakar Rally.
