The Honda Africa Twin is back? |

Well maybe... |
|
It is a cool bike (not as cool as the 690 mind you) and |
|
indications are that it may be back in production soon. |

Somehow the author totally missed the 690, so I had to let them |
|
know about that. |

It's cool that Honda is considering something other than an |
|
"urban commuter," but I think they're missing the boat; they |
|
should be shooting for 330 lbs, not 430. As it is, it has |
|
nothing to distinguish itself and will have to live on the |
|
scraps from a three way dogfight between the KLR and the 800 GS. |
|
A 330 pound adventure machine would be a world beating |
|
revelation. |
|
The sad thing is that Honda already makes what folks want: |

Just de-tune this thing and call it a day. |
|
My one staying request: They should add twin LED headlights, as |
|
a homage to the original. |
