Vehicle Overview

2017 Honda Africa Twin DCT (CRF1000D).

The 2017 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L is built around the qualities that make a large adventure motorcycle useful beyond a purely road-focused role. Its 998cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine is paired with Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission, providing automatic gear changes while retaining the broad, controlled character expected of an adventure bike. For riders who value a less demanding riding experience in traffic or on long journeys, the DCT system is a defining feature of this motorcycle.

Long-travel suspension and 250mm of ground clearance give the Africa Twin the physical specification to handle uneven surfaces as well as sealed roads. The fully adjustable 45mm upside-down front fork offers scope for setup changes, while the rear single shock uses hydraulic spring-preload adjustment. Together with the upright adventure layout and 850mm seat height, these features support a commanding riding position without suggesting that the motorcycle is limited to one type of riding.

This example is fitted with equipment intended to extend its touring and protective capabilities. SW-Motech panniers provide useful luggage capacity, while SW-Motech crash bars, Barkbusters, a headlight grille and a skid plate add protection around the motorcycle's vulnerable areas. The combination is particularly relevant for riders planning to carry equipment or travel on routes where the surface may vary, although the condition and fitment of each accessory should be confirmed in person.

On-road control is supported by ABS, Honda Selectable Torque Control and multiple riding modes, giving the rider options for adapting the bike's responses to different conditions. The chassis uses a steel semi-double-cradle frame, laced-spoke wheels and tube-type tyres, with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear arrangement typical of an adventure motorcycle designed to maintain stability across changing terrain. Twin front wave discs and a selectable ABS-equipped rear brake complete the braking package.
