So are the Honda Africa Twin 1100 and Africa Twin 1100 Adventure 2020

[Akrapovic]

The first studio photos of the new Honda Africa Twin 1100 and Africa Twin 1100 Adventure 2020 have been leaked, snapshots taken by Motorcycle.com colleagues.

Apart from what we already knew (new engine of 1,084 cc and 101 hp), so it can be seen in the photos (small size and low quality, which we have improved as much as possible), it can be seen that the new Africa Twin 1100 they mount a new chassis and subframe, which is now removable, facilitating its repair or replacement in case of fall. The exhaust has a larger silencer, something forced to comply with the new Euro5.

Of course, there will still be versions with the classic transmission and with the automatic double clutch DCT.

 

 

The front is new, better integrating the two headlights, which are now more torn. The dome is smaller than in the current model and the air inlets next to the headlights are smaller, but now it seems that the new entry between both headlights is larger than the existing one, although it is difficult to appreciate in the photos. The handle protectors are also different.
… And the Adventure 1100

As for the Adventure 1100, the tank is clearly of greater capacity and disappear (at least in the photo model), the protection bars. The dome is larger than the standard, as is the case in current models. We see that there are a pair of fog lamps integrated under the main headlights.

... and this is the new Adventure Sports 1100 2020

The covers are also different, both the Adventure Sports 1000 and the Africa Twin 1100 standard. The crankcase protector - made of aluminum - is larger than the standard one, as is the case in the 1000s.

In the back, the seat seems to be the same as in the basic model - on two levels - and not smooth as in the Adventure 1000 2019. The passenger grill-handle set has grown in dimensions.

The studio photos show that both versions are fully ready and we will certainly see them within a couple of months at the EICMA in Milan.
