Ride the world

1083cc twin-cylinder engine

These adventure bikes feature a narrow parallel-twin engine that delivers torque smoothly throughout the RPM range, making them great for both city riding and highway cruising.

Ride the world

Cruise control

All models come equipped with cruise control for long-distance touring, similar to our Gold Wings.

Ride the world

Low center of gravity

By placing heavy components like the battery near the bike's center of gravity and using a compact engine, we've created a superior platform for excellent handling.

TFT touchscreen display

A 6.5-inch LCD touch-panel display shows a multitude of information, and you can choose from three displays depending on your needs.

The peak of adventure tech

Electronically controlled suspension

Electronically controlled suspension

The Adventure Sports ES and Adventure Sports ES DCT are equipped with SHOWA EERA® suspension, allowing you to choose five suspension damper settings on the fly.

Long-travel front suspension

Long-travel front suspension

The inverted Showa fork on the standard model is fully adjustable with huge 45mm tubes and 8.0 inches of travel—the most in the 1000cc off-road class. The Adventure Sports models get 7.3 inches of front travel to match the 19-inch front-wheel fitment.

Electronic preload adjustment

Electronic preload adjustment

Adjusting the preload on your shock is effortless, with four settings tailored to your needs. There is no need to struggle with hard-to-reach collars - all adjustments are made electronically.

Six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission

Six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission

The Africa Twin DCT and Adventure Sports ES DCT feature a strong, steel-gear transmission that can be operated with paddle shifters manually or automatically. It's the future of motorcycle transmissions.

G switch

G switch

This special feature comes standard on all Africa Twin DCT models. It helps improve control when riding off-road by reducing clutch slip during throttle operation—an essential component for dirt riding.

Narrow subframe

Narrow subframe

The aluminum subframe is removable for servicing and repairs. Width has been reduced by 40mm for a narrower and more agile feel in challenging terrain.

Tall handlebar

Tall handlebar

Fitting a taller handlebar opens up the cockpit, working with the seat and windscreen for a comfortable rider's triangle during long rides.

Tapered aluminum handlebar

Tapered aluminum handlebar

Our aluminum handlebars are lighter and more flexible than steel units. They are designed to taper from a thin diameter under your grips to a thicker section at the top, offering optimal flex and rigidity.

Compact dual-catalyzer exhaust

Compact dual-catalyzer exhaust

Using the same muffler-valve technology as our CBR1000RR Superbike, the exhaust silencer helps lower emissions while highlighting rideability and power output.

270-degree-phase crank

270-degree-phase crank

Most twins use a 180-degree crank. Phasing this bike at 270 degrees gives you a unique power delivery that’s easy to modulate, especially in terrain where traction is challenging.

Dry-sump engine

Dry-sump engine

A dry-sump engine design is the only option for a big adventure bike. The more compact sump increases ground clearance and eliminates the vulnerability of a conventional wet sump.

Optional aluminum luggage

Optional aluminum luggage

Our three-piece hard luggage set is a must-have accessory for any traveler. These bags are equipped with weather-resistant lining, and the largest bag can even accommodate a full-face helmet.

There’s no better time than now
