Some things are just too good to be true.
Last week we heard rumour of a Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Rally having been released at the Motordays show in Italy. Whilst there were official photos and details from Honda Italy, we were also quick to note that this looked very much like a local Honda initiative and not one that was looking likely to hit the showrooms of other territories.

‘The Africa Twin Rally has been created in partnership with Honda’s Italian off-road distributor (Red Moto) for sale in Italy only, in limited numbers.’

Only 100 will be build, but that was exactly how the XLV750R HRC Limited started in 1983... They did build some more, till 1985!  ;D

So there is hope. Had a chat with my Honda agent, who actually is exclusive Honda Red importer for the Netherlands (Honda Red Italy = design & manufacturing of this Africa Twin special).
Founder of VIM, that's why I am in!
