The athletic , lightweight and sporty CRF1100L Africa Twin receives two colour updates for 2023 . Joining the iconic Grand Prix Red , which is being carried over from 2022 , the Africa Twin will be available in Mat Ballistic Black Metallic now complete with an all-black frame , and a new Glint Wave Blue Metallic Tricolour which features a new blue headlight cowl , and blue front fender and tail sections with red and white detailing .
The continent-crossing CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports - which in 2021 accounted for 56 % of Africa Twin sales in Europe- will be available in two distinctive colours for 23YM . The timeless Pearl Glare White Tricolour , complete with gold wheels , remains on the line-up and is joined by the new contemporary Mat Iridium Gray Metallic colour , featuring black detailing that complements its jet black wheels .
