Honda has launched the🔯 2019 Africa Twin at Rs 13.5 lakh (ex-sh𒁃owroom India). This is a price hike of around Rs 27,000 over the last-gen model. Bookings of the motorcycle have already commenced for the first 50 customers at Honda’s 22 ‘Wing World’ dealerships.
What do you get for the additional Rs 27,000? I𓂃f you don’t count the new metallic blue paint scheme, golden handlebars and wheel rims, the motorcycle remains unchanged. The updates might seem a bit too less for the premium demanded but it is due to the new CKD legislation as well as hike in raw material cost worldwide.
