Exactly the same process as for the Xtourer. Presentation of a prototype and one year later commercialized with not so much changes.

I meant to say that this is an exciting new bike! One that looks like great fun in all terrains!

I must admit I am a bit disappointed that the final bike has not been showed. Maybe they had some sort of delay in its development? (TP's reliable source could let us know  8) )

Greetings,

Josep

Spot on, Josep! ;)

Retail price for VFR800X (Crossrunner) in France is 11 999€  what will be the place for the "New AT" ?

4versions are:
Normal
Sport (Akrapovik + shifter)
Touring (Panniers)
Adventure (Larger Panniers + crashBar + additional lights)

perhaps ways to imagine versions of the future AT ...  8)

The New Africa Twin thread over at the Adventure Rider website is up to 246 pages already. It's freaking hilarious reading all the speculation.

***UPDATE*** NEW 2015 AFRICA TWIN REVEALED (press release text)
« Reply #54 on: May 12, 2015, 14:17:03 »
The Africa Twin is back! CRF1000L Africa Twin confirmed for 2015.

Honda is delighted to announce the return of one of motorcycling’s most celebrated and evocative names – the Africa Twin. Having clearly shown the direction of its development and intent with the reveal of the True Adventure prototype at EICMA in November 2014, Honda can now confirm that the all-new CRF1000L Africa Twin will be in dealers across Europe in late 2015.

Some motorcycles encapsulate perfectly what an adventure motorcycle is all about. The original XRV650 Africa Twin – which debuted in 1988, after the first 3 out of 4 consecutive wins at the Paris-Dakar* – was one such machine. Its go-anywhere ability, rugged durability, easy-handling agility and all-day comfort made it the perfect partner with which to explore. And it helped to define a motorcycling segment that has now grown into one of the most popular worldwide. The new Africa Twin remains true to all the attributes and abilities of the XRV650 and its successor the XRV750, while adding the benefits of everything Honda has learnt on and off-road over the last decade, including Team HRC’s return to the Dakar in 2013**.

Furthermore, in a first for the category, the Africa Twin will feature the option of a new evolution of Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) *** technology, which remains unique to Honda in motorcycling. This latest evolution of DCT has been specifically developed and programmed to provide the off-road ability with which the Africa Twin is synonymous.

The all-new CRF1000L Africa Twin is set to redefine expectations of just what a large-capacity adventure motorcycle can and should be capable of, both on and off-road, and opens an entirely new chapter in Honda’s illustrious history of dual-purpose motorcycles made for true adventure.

***UPDATE*** NEW 2015 AFRICA TWIN REVEALED! (DCT option)
« Reply #56 on: May 12, 2015, 14:31:22 »
*** Honda has sold over 35,000 DCT-equipped machines in Europe since its 2010 introduction and in 2015 more people (53% of the total) have chosen DCT over a standard manual transmission on the models ­(VFR1200X Crosstourer, VFR1200F, NC750X and NC750S) which feature it as an option. The Africa Twin comes with the option of a new evolution of DCT which includes specific off-road capabilities.
