Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Questions and Answers

Question 1

Q. Can we expect 2021 NC750X launch in India?

Answer

2 Years waiting, still no news when Honda will launch this beautiful DCT machine in India.

Answer

As of now, there is no official update available from the brand's end. We would suggest you to wait for the official announcement. Stay tuned with ZigWheels for further updates.

Question 2

Q. When can we expect Africa Twin Adventure 2020 to launch and what would be the price?

Answer

The current CRF1000L has only the standard variant sold in India currently and normally it is restricted to 50 bikes a year. Although, they did start with 75 bikes when they launched in 2017. The Standard Africa Twin or the CRF1000L DCT was the only variant that made its way to India. The Adventure Sport didn't make it purely because of the seat height I am guessing which stands at a whopping 900 mm at the lowest setting compared to the Standard's 820 mm seat height. The 2020 AT's could both be made available in India next year is what I reckon since they share exactly the same seat height options and they also come with a low seat option which is 5mm higher that the current crop of AT's in the market. The current bike is around 17 lakhs on road bangalore and I have to reckon that the standard AT should be atleast 18.75 lakhs on road and the Adventure sport will be closer to the 20.5 lakh mark, this is me just shooting a number that I think will still help the bike remain competitive in the market although we will have to wait for the first Q of 2020 to truly know that! Hope this helps.

Question 3

Q. I'm 5'7"ft, is it comfortable for me to ride the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin?

Answer

Yup, it totally depends on experience and it also has lowering kits from touratech which will definitely make it easy. You must take a test ride at the 820mm setting which is the lowest stock setting to fully understand it will work for you. My opinion is that it should since my brother is your height and has no issues.

Question 8

Q. I would like to buy a 250 cc bike within a budget range of two lakhs. should I wait for the new Suzuki 300 cc arrival or should I go for any current options? I use the bike for the daily commute and occasional long distant tours. - Africa Twin?

Answer

I am not sure why you mentioned the AT at the end, hoping thats a TYPO of some sort. The AT is a 1000cc bike, the 2020 will be a 1100 CC variant. As for the question you have if I were you, I would consider the Mojo or the CB 300. I think you should ride them and see which one suits you the best.
