Africa Twin

Honda's Africa Twin combines a 1,084cc parallel-twin with an available DCT automatic transmission — the dual-clutch option is a primary reason many buyers seek it out, delivering smooth shifting in technical terrain and traffic without the weight penalty of older automatics. Used DCT examples at $10,000–$14,000 command a premium over the manual; buyers who want the same engine in a more road-focused package should also look at the Honda NT1100.
