Re: Honda Africa Twin
It'll need to kick out a bit more power if it's to compete against similar machines.

Re: Honda Africa Twin
Agreed, 110 HP compared to the Multi's 150 HP is a fair difference.Kwacky wrote:It'll need to kick out a bit more power if it's to compete against similar machines.

Re: Honda Africa Twin
I think there keeping it too 100 bhp as it has a heavy off road focus and 160 bhp in the mud would be too much.

Re: Honda Africa Twin
From the pics it looks ok (for what you can see of it!) But for a 1000cc seems a tad low on power but on the other hand you know what your get with Honda, tested and trusted reliability, local dealers and good deals. It will sell by the drones I'm sure
