Honda RCV S Concept

Honda RC213V-S Prototype and other models unveiled at EICMA 2014

Honda RC213V-S EICMA 2014

EICMA 2014 has to be one of the best in history with everyone trying to trump the other with rocketing horsepower numbers and technology to boot. In comparison Honda has been rather keeping mum and seems like it will stay this way for some more time. Here’s why!

Honda RC213V-S Concept

The rumours and excitement surrounding Honda’s RC213V-S road bike and a reborn Honda Africa Twin Off-roader did take shape, but unfortunately they have been unveiled as concepts. The Honda Africa Twin has rather been displayed as a True Adventurer Prototype and stated to have been developed to deliver outstanding off-road capability, and could provide the basis of a true round-the-world motorcycle. No technical specifications or details have been provided on these two bikes.
