Now that the Yamaha T7 is no longer a rumour or concept
...should we now turn our attentions to the rumours of a new middleweight contender yet to enter the ring and liven up the debate even further?
...the Honda Africa Twin CRF790L /  CRF800L  /  CRF850L what will it be?



  • Will it have an upgrade of the proven NCX 750 engine?
    Will they strip back the rider aids and electronics to keep the weight and cost down?
    Will the price point really test and pressure the competition?
    Will it look like this amazing concept picture below that came out for the CRF1000L but never materialised?
    Will it finally kill the XR650L?
For all but the latter I hope so.
Please Honda for the love of the big man upstairs will you finally give us this concept as your middleweight AT - just like this picture please! (Yes I know the pic says 1000, I want it in an 800) ...and then I don't care what you do with the XR ...pretty pretty please!?
