Doohan introduced the new breed of naked machines, including the Honda CB1000R ‘Neo Sport Café’ and the CB300R, both destined for Australia mid-2018.
The Africa Twin ‘Adventure Sports’ was also unveiled to mark the 30th anniversary of the original and is confirmed for Australia to form a new Africa Twin line up consisting of 3 variants; the Africa Twin Manual with ABS – CRF1000A, the Africa Twin ‘Adventure Sports’ Manual with ABS – CRF1000AL2, the Africa Twin ‘Adventure Sports’ DCT with ABS – CRF1000DL2.
The CB1000R and CB300R have a unique new identity developed under a design theme of ‘Neo Sports Café’. The new styling language is modern and minimalist, mixing sports naked and café racer inspirations with head-turning results.
Neo Sports Café’ CB1000R has multiple engine modes; 15kW power up and brings a completely new level of performance.
The CB300R shares the same modern, minimalist look as the CB1000R and offers a wealth of premium specifications for young and ‘step-up’ riders.
The Africa Twin ‘Adventure Sports’ version offers even more adventure-oriented capability, built to go even further on both on-road and off-road adventure.
With a fuel tank 5.4 litres bigger than the CRF1000L Africa Twin itself, plus longer travel suspension, higher riding position and ground clearance, heated grips, extra-large skid plate and extended fairing with protective cowl bar.
It also shares the extensive updates given to the Africa Twin, which include Throttle-By-Wire engine management with four riding modes, expanded Honda Selectable Torque Control parameters and revised intake and exhaust for stronger mid-range response.
More information on all models including confirmed colours, pricing and arrival dates will be released at a later date.
