<p>The 2018 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sport features a three-tone (white, blue & red) paint scheme with golden highlights to the wire spoke wheels and the front USD forks. The paint scheme pays tribute to the four-time Dakar Rally winning Honda XRV650 Africa Twin. The XRV650 Africa Twin celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. That said, the <a href="https://indianautosblog.com/2018/05/2018-honda-africa-twin-bookings-commence-month-end-305617">bookings for the 2018 Honda Africa Twin are open in India with deliveries already underway.</a></p>
