May 14, 201510 yr Will it come? I've been holding off buying a new bike just to see what develops with the adventure side. I was originally considering 800GS but when I heard a year ago Triumph were possibly reducing prices I held off, but it appears deliveries aren't going as promised for many. I spoke to Honda about 5 months ago and asked them about the Africa Twin but the spokesperson at the time couldn't give me an answer, however he was confident Honda's intention was to hit the adventure side. So, as anyone heard anything positive?
May 14, 201510 yr It's definitely coming, but not sure about Thailand. http://www.cyclenews.com/448/33929/Racing-Article/Its-Coming-Honda-Reveals-All-New-Africa-Twin.aspx
May 16, 201510 yr With an auto box, no thanks. Not auto box...it's a double clutch...a bit like the Rekluse Clutch http://www.rekluse.com/offroadproducts.shtml
November 25, 201510 yr Honda Africa twin will be revealed by AP Honda at the Motor Expo at Impact arena Bgkk in December 2015
November 25, 201510 yr Author I spoke to Honda the other day but they couldn't confirm when in 2016 it would be available. Price they said 500-600 and they couldn't confirm the version. I assumed it would be the DCT. Anyway, I will be there on the 1st December so hopefully I can get some answers because I want one!

November 30, 201510 yr Author Definitely coming some time next year. Source : salesman in Pattaya Big Wing I will try and get the details tomorrow. Press launch event is at 12.15 if I remember.
December 1, 201510 yr Author Just got back from the press launch but I am still no wiser on the details. Unfortunately the revealing was 10 minutes before I needed to leave for another appointment and the main guys were in the middle of interviews. here are a few pictures but the one on display wasn't the DCT version!
December 1, 201510 yr One Post Edited - pics removed The fotos were in the previous post. No need to post again. Thanks
December 3, 201510 yr Nice pictures, thx! Glad to see they will sell the standard clutch version too. Very tempting, now we just have to wait till next year.... [emoji51]
December 4, 201510 yr Author Just spoke to my colleagues at Autospinn who managed to stay there longer than I did. The official official release will be mid 2016 with a price more than 500k. So I guess getting your hands on one is likely August 2016 onward. However, he didn't get confirmation on the whether it would be dct or manual.
