“What an absolute pleasure it has been putting together our Ultimate Overland Motorcycle,” said Overland Expo’s Motorcycle Ambassador, Eva Rupert. “I have put my blood, sweat, and tears into building this moto and I couldn’t be prouder of how the Africa Twin and all its incredible components turned out. Through the transformation from stock bike to Ultimate Moto, I discovered her personality and I nicknamed her ‘Razzle-Dazzle.’ She’s sparkly, but she’s got some grit to her, too.”
The Ultimate Overland Moto will hit the trails and star in Compass editorial content over the next three months. Again, the goal of this content is to inspire people to build their own Ultimate Overland Moto and explore the world’s trails on two wheels.
“At Honda, we are elated with how the Ultimate Overland Motorcycle turned out,” said Colin Miller, Honda Powersports’ Assistant Manager of Communications. “The Africa Twin embodies the term ‘true adventure’ and this build serves to underscore that fact.”
Overlanders can learn about the Honda Africa Twin as well as its components and parts as well as the moto’s journeys on its dedicated landing page.
