Precise reproduction of the most powerful new-age adventure tourer in its class! The Dakar Rally is called the world's toughest motor sport. In the late 1980s, when Honda was racking up victories in the two-wheel category, it released the XRV650, a replica model of its works machine NXR750, in 1988. This bike, which was first given the nickname ``Africa Twin,'' attracted a lot of attention mainly in Europe as a big bike with a strong off-road flavor, and created a new category called the adventure tourer. Although it was no longer available in Japan after the last model sold in August 2000, its popularity has remained undiminished ever since, and the new Africa Twin "CRF1000L" debuted in 2015.

The styling inherits the Africa Twin's tradition, including a large fuel tank, dual headlights, and 21-inch tires at the front and 18-inch tires at the rear with an emphasis on off-road driving. In addition, a model equipped with a dual clutch transmission (DCT) that does not require clutch operation was available, and its versatile operability became a hot topic. It is also equipped with electronic devices that support the rider when riding off-road, such as a G (gravel mode) switch and selectable torque control. Based on the concept of ``going anywhere,'' this bike is gaining huge popularity around the world as a bike that allows you to enjoy comfortable long touring in a wide range of situations, from on-road to off-road.
