2016 Honda Africa Twin May Not Be What We Hoped Many have hoped that the new Africa Twin will fill a void in the liter-class Adventure Bike category left by the discontinued KTM 990 Adventure R. Looking at these leaked specs, the Honda seems to be down on power, has less suspension travel and isn’t any lighter than the 990 R.
Assuming these are the final specs, the 2016 Honda Africa Twin will not be the revolutionary off-road-capable adventure bike we were hoping for — a lighter KTM 990 Adventure R with Honda reliability. The bike still looks like a good off-road performer though, with a mildly tuned engine for greater reliability and a 270° crankshaft that will give it a pleasing exhaust note. The bike looks stunning and it is a welcome change from the bigger and heavier Adventure Bikes that have been introduced to compete with the BMW R1200GS in recent years.
But there’s really only one company that is likely to create a replacement for the KTM 990 Adventure R, and that’s KTM. Hopefully, KTM will have a surprise for us in 2016 and we’ll get the light, powerful, middle-weight, off-road capable Adventure Bike that they’ve been rumored to be working on.
