If they are from Honda Montesa, they will be low capacity bikes (= mopeds).
The real stuff is revealed at an large press conference, Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM CET.

Honda bought Montesa in the early 80s.
They have kept this cherished name for their trial bikes lineup, and in their official name for the Spanish Honda Motorcycles company.

Then is this press conference today?

Regards,

Josep

Been in meetings, work calls, have just caught up with the news, the pics and the preliminary specs. 

200kgs wet, 1000cc - just what the doctor ordered.  20L fuel tank is a tad light, but passable.  Great looking bike, won't see it in these parts for another year...

Cheers from downunder...

Yes I could tell that this was originally posted to you tube some time ago, but I've only just seen it and I've been following this relatively closely. So if I missed it maybe others have too which is why I have posted it!  So old or not I considered it relevant...  >:(

Thank you for sharing  :) ; even if yes, it is old news  ;) as in this other thread below where you participated as well.

There was a "Dreams part 1" video made by Honda itself, but to my knowledge, there's no "Dreams part 2" yet.

This topic was initially started after the first display of the True Adventurer Prototype.
Now that the bike has been officially revealed as 'Africa Twin CRF1000', the story continues here:
