EICMA 2015: Honda unveils 2016 line-up

For fans of Honda Motorcycles across the globe, 2016 is going to be quite an exciting year. Today at EICMA 2015, the big H gave us a glimpse of what to expect next year. Honda took the wraps off the new City Adventure Concept, the much spoken about CRF1000L Africa Twin and... wait for it... as any as six mid-sized offerings with a range of updates. 

Of all the motorcycles unveiled by Honda this year’s EICMA, the City Adventure concept is without doubt the most unique. The City Adventure concept gives an adventurous touch to scooters. While details of this concept are still sketchy, it is sure to add a bit of fun to your daily commute and more. 

A year after showing showcasing the True Adventure at EICMA last year, Honda has taken the wraps off the CRF1000L Africa Twin for the first time in Europe. The Japanese motorcycle manufacturer claims that this new CRF1000L Africa Twin further adds to the virtues of an able all-rounder on and off the road. In addition to the standard model, the CRF1000L Africa Twin will go on sale in two further versions. The ABS version gets an option to switch off the system for off-roading. Aside from all of this, it will also come with the Honda Selectable Torque Control and DCT Technology.  

Aside from the City Adventure Concept and the CRF1000 Africa Twin, Honda also showcased three middle-weight offerings – the CB500F, the CBR500R and the CB500X. The naked CB500F has been given a cosmetic update ad it now looks a lot more aggressive and muscular than before. Similarly, the new CBR500R too follows the new sharper and edgy design language of Honda. New headlights and a razor sharp tail section gives it the kind of look you would expect out of a supersport. The CB500X is now revised to be 100mm taller. It also gets an adjustable windscreen and a larger tank. 

Honda also had their popular NC750S, NC750X and Integra on display at EICMA 2015.
