Do you have a KTM link to that model? I can't seem to find it on the main KTM international or Canada site.

Mike
No KTM link just prototype shots floating around the net.

The new Honda 2016 CRF1000L Africa Twin

Is this a rebirth of a legend and will North American's embrace this moto with the purchasing dollars?

Safe Travels,

The specs are out on this one now and I second this suggestion. I suspect though that the specs will not do this bike justice.

Sounds great then! I'll slot the new 2016 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin in next week (as we just did the Super Tenere). :)

This week I have something very special up that was just released.

Actually, it's not a BMW clone and not from Russia or Belarus.

I can't remember where I got that from but upon researching it again, your are right, it's actually from China, not Russia. Personally, I think it would have been higher quality if it was a BMW clone from Russia (something like a URAL)... now I'm pretty sure it's just a "look-a-like" from China.

You got that idea because the model is called Minsk, which is a city in Russia, but not one you would want to name a motorcycle after...lol.

Pretty sad if Chinese manufacturers think their bikes will do better if people think they are Russian... but still, funny.
