This is the all-new 2015 Honda Africa Twin in production form, just covered in dirt and fractalized camo. Why should you care? It just re-invented the adventure motorcycle class with honest-to-god, dirt-focussed performance. Honda is staying tight lipped about the new bike, just rolling it out at today's EICMA motorcycle show in Milan between an old Africa Twin from the '90s and their current CRF450 Rally Dakar racer. The only information reads:Inspired by both Honda's fantastic heritage in adventure motorcycling and our recent Dakar program, the True Adventure Prototype captures the product direction as Honda seeks to expand its presence in the Adventure segment. This prototype has been developed to deliver outstanding off-road capability, and could provide the basis of a true round-the-world motorcycle. It's influenced by the current Team HRC and the CRF450 RALLY.Luckily, we've had the inside line on this bike for some time thanks to information leaked exclusive to us by a Honda insider.

What you're looking at is a 1,000cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor housed in a steel tube cradle frame. Its seat is long and slim, allowing the variable body positions required by real dirt riding, but still looks wide and cushioned enough to facilitate long-term comfort. motorcycle helmet fit revzillaThat seat continues a long ways forward, up onto the dirt bike-style tank. schuberth open face motorcycle helmetWill that small tank give it a limited fuel range? motorcycle dealers in stamford ctOur sources say no, because the airbox is moved outboard of the frame, behind the left side plastic. motorcycle repairs eastbourne

Traditionally, that airbox lies below the fuel tank, eating up much of its potential volume.That' right, there's no clutch lever. That's because the CRF1000L (as it will also be known) is equipped with a Dual Clutch Transmission. Wheels are dirt-spec 21-inch (front), 18-inch (rear) spoked items, mounted with TKC80s, the most dirt-capable adventure tires out there.afx motorcycle jackets Price, performance, weight and on-sale date? motorcycle parts henderson ncHonda literally gave no details about this bike, but it's clearly being shown in mud-splattered production form, so we shouldn't have to wait too long to finally get our hands on an ADV actually capable of adventure.

Here's how he did it. Click to viewAlthough Oritz's story isn't the first time we've seen Craigslist-swapping writ large, it's the first one we've seen that doesn't include any outside help. You may remember Kyle MacDonald, who famously created a website to document his attempt to trade one red paperclip for a house. But MacDonald also had a built-in fanbase and publicity from his website.Ortiz, a 17-year-old high-schooler, had no such help. Instead, he spent the better part of two years tied to his iPhone, skimming Craigslist and carefully picking out trades he knew he could benefit from. Starting with an old cell phone that was given to him for free by a friend, Steven used the "barter" section of Craigslist to move up to a better phone. He then traded the phone for an iPod Touch, the iPod Touch for a dirtbike — which was turned around several times for other, better dirtbikes — and then a MacBook Pro arrived, which opened the door to vehicles.

The MacBook Pro was traded for a Toyota 4Runner, which was then bartered for a custom off-road golf cart. Keep in mind that Steven was only 15 at the time, so even if he'd kept that 4Runner, he couldn't drive it anywhere. The golf cart was then traded for a much more expensive dirt bike, the dirt bike was traded for a street bike, and then Steven traded that for a series of boring cars, ending up with a sweet 1975 Ford Bronco.Had we been Steven, we'd probably have stopped there, as it doesn't get much better than an old Ford Bronco. However, by the time he acquired the Bronco he was of driving age. After enjoying it for a while, he decided to mix things up and go for a Porsche. It was actually a trade down, one that we can't really fault him for — everyone needs to own a Porsche at least once in their life. The Bronco was probably worth more than the $9000 asking price on the 2000 Boxster, but it'll probably pay dividends in the halls of his high school.The total number of trade transactions between old cell phone and Porsche Boxster?

Reality is setting in, however, and the obnoxious maintenance costs that go along with owning a Porsche are making the car hard to live with. Naturally, Steven is turning his eye is toward a new car. He's thinking about a Cadillac Escalade. Fort St. John 1 FACTORY CUSTOM CVO STREETGLIDE 2012 Low mileage, approx. 40K.
