The development of Africa Twin is linked to the Dakar Rally, the
grueling endurance rally occasion that has been first held in 1979 since the Paris-Dakar Rally
and ended up being run from Paris, France to Dakar, the administrative centre of west African country
Senegal, covering a distance of twelve thousand kilometers in only twenty times
and using the rivals through hostile environments like the Sahara
Desert. At the time of writing, the competition nevertheless lives on, although from 2009 it has
discovered a new home in South America. Honda first entered the race in 1981, and in
1982 a version of the XRSOOR production bicycle tuned by Honda R&D and also the
Racing Service Center (RSC) had been piloted to a remarkable 1-2 finish by riders
Cyril Neveu and Philippe Vassard. With all the competition getting ever faster,
Honda joined a works group from 1986, equipping it with the 779cc V2
liquid-cooled engine NXR75O, created specifically for the race and piloted to
four consecutive victories - by Neveu in 1986 and 1987, Edi Orioli in 1988 and
Gilles Lalay in 1989. After a period away from the competition, Honda returned in 2013
operating a works CRF45O Rally.
