Hello from the road, dear readers. I’m out in Moab, Utah for the next few days, testing the Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L<\/a> adventure-touring motorcycle. We have a solid couple of days riding ahead of us, with Tuesday being an on-road day, and Wednesday seeing our feet get dirty with some off-road action.<\/p>\n

Weather here in Moab has been fluctuating for the past few days, with rain, hail, and flurries being previously on the menu, but the forecast promises us some sunshine for our stay. Hopefully the weatherman\u00a0right.<\/p>\n

One of the most anticipated machines for the 2016 model year, the Honda Africa Twin is finally about to arrive in motorcycle dealerships (though, in limited numbers)<\/a>. We’ve been looking forward to swinging a leg over this off-road focused ADV machine for some time, to see if it lives up to the hype.<\/p>\n

Moab is the perfect venue for our test, and it’s also a location where I’ve already ridden the liquid-cooled BMW R1200GS and Yamaha Super T\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9, two other stalwarts of this riding segment.<\/p>\n

Cellphone reception is pretty spotty (read: non-existent), and our wifi isn’t much better, but I will attempt to answer any questions you post here in the comments and on social media.<\/p>\n

As always, if I don\u2019t know an answer, I will\u00a0try to\u00a0get a response from the Honda\u00a0personnel that are here with me in Utah. So, pepper away.<\/p>\n

You can follow our thoughts on the bike live via\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>. You can also\u00a0try searching for the\u00a0hashtags: #AfricaTwin for the thoughts of our colleagues as well.<\/p>\n
