Motorcycle specifications HondaXRV 750 AFRICA TWIN 2002 Desert Escape

in the hearts of enthusiasts, the Africa Twin symbolizes Honda's glorious exploits in African rally-raids. For everyday users, its remarkable versatility makes it indispensable. Admittedly a little more impressive in town than a Transalp, it's easy to ride, aided by its docile engine. It's equally at home on the road, like a Varadero but 15 kg lighter. The Varadero is more powerful and better suited to long-distance riding, thanks to its remarkable protection and comfortable seat, but the Africa Twin is also capable of venturing onto smaller roads. On winding roads, the bike does a marvellous job. The twin-cylinder engine offers ample power and, above all, proves indestructible. Situated between the Transalp and the Varadero in the manufacturer's trail category, it might be feared to find itself between 2 chairs. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's a sporty, adventurous machine that combines all the advantages of its siblings. Its hard saddle and limited breathing will put off those who travel far and fast. Otherwise, it's an exciting, efficient machine, one of the few that smells like warm sand.
