Boston Mangler 0 Posted July 23, 2014 I'm not sure about that.. Honda has been bringing some weird things to the US later in their street market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afry 1 Posted July 23, 2014 Might get interesting and hopefully we don't get to just watch. .http://indefinitelywild.gizmodo.com/how-hondas-new-airbox-will-give-the-africa-twin-dirt-b-1589397465 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boston Mangler 0 Posted July 23, 2014 Yes I said street.. Assuming they started there and going to be adding the cool dirt stuff soon too. They simply can't ignore the share market the KTMs are owning and can bet ya $1 they hard at work figuring out how to break into it! Yamaha Also.. There WILL be a nice badass Jap dual sport in the US within the next few years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crusty Posted July 23, 2014 It looks like this is actually happening! Anyone wanna buy my EXC?? Great news. Need to make room in the garage for another Honda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vacman 0 Posted July 23, 2014 It looks like this is actually happening! Anyone wanna buy my EXC?? Don't get too excited, that's the same bad photoshop that has made its way from cover to cover. ADVrider has a 1250+ post thread on the "new africa twin" here with all kinds of fanboys on it (imagine Crusty x 1000) so they're trying to dig up new information all the time. I subscribe to it just out of curiosity. There hasn't been anything new for a couple of months now, which is odd to me since it's supposed to be unveiled in October...

Bagstr 287 Posted July 23, 2014 http://www.dealernews.com/dealernews/article/motorcycle-sales-3-percent-2013-not-counting-scooters http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-news/statistics/motorcycle-sales-statistics.htm These reports may give us a clue where the manufacturers will be investing. Webbikeworld data is more complete. "The Upshot", is there are ten times more street than dual-sport motos sold. As to if the Africa Twin will be placed, my x 10 bet is in the street sector. Mimi, Do you have more Dealer / Manufacturer data? Bagstr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
