The Honda Africa Twin remains in the Tokyo brand’s roster for 2025, which is hardly a surprise, and it comes with some new colour choices.

In 2025, the CRF1100L will be available in three options: Africa Twin, Africa Twin ES, and Africa Twin Adventure Sports.

All three come with the same 1,084cc parallel twin engine producing 101bhp and 83lb ft, but feature different chassis specifications. While all have the same aluminium frame, the standard Africa Twin comes with standard Showa suspension, the ES comes with Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERATM) suspension, and the Adventure Sports swaps out the 21-inch front wheel of the other two for a more road-biassed 19-inch front wheel.

This is all more or less the same as last year, which is hardly a bad thing considering the popularity of Honda’s big adventurer, which has established itself as one of the best adventure bikes on the market since the CRF1000L was introduced in 2016.

As for the colours, though, there is some change. The Africa Twin and ES models will both get the existing Grand Prix Red and Matt Ballistic Black Metallic, and the latter will also get an updated version of the Pearl Glare White colour which now comes with a Pearl Hawkseye Blue Metallic Tricolour and with black wheel rims over the previous gold rims.

The Adventure Sports, only, gains the new Matt Iridium Grey Metallic which is based on the old Honda XRV650 Africa Twin, alongside the Pearl Glare White tricolour which, for the ATAS, keeps the gold rims.
