Honda will take the 1084cc parallel-twin engine from the current Africa Twin and put it in a new generation of performance cars, and so far we've only been able to get a glimpse of the basis of the new model program from the documents and drawings that Honda has filed for a patent application for review.

In fact, such a plan is quite reasonable, because engine development is a very expensive program for car makers, so more and more car makers will use the same engine as the basis, through different tuning to achieve different car models, coupled with increasingly stringent emission standards, more make the engine **** enjoyment way to seem appropriate.

First of all, you can clearly see the outline of the frame design from the patent application drawings. The frame design is cheaper than the engine development part, and with today's technology and computer simulation and computing power, it only takes a small team to be able to carry out the design and development, and with the current cooperation of the car factory's suspension components, braking system, wheels and tires, etc., the use of big data can be analyzed immediately, and even to the extent that it can be used to develop a new car, and then the car can be used to develop a new car. The approach can be immediately analyzed, and even to the research and development of the late part of the need to carry out actual testing and road testing, so now the use of the same engine to develop different types of cars has been Ducati, Harley Davidson, Triumph, Aprilia, BMW, Yamaha and so on the car manufacturers used to the usual approach.

Honda itself has been using the same engine system for different models of the CB500 for a long time, so it's already familiar with this strategy.

Because the twin-cylinder engine above the non-double is the first time it has been utilized in a new model outside of the car lineup, it has received a lot of attention from the industry and the media. So the industry and the media are paying extra attention. From the drawings Honda sent for review, you can see that there are two distinct frame designs, one a more traditional wrap-around design, the other a mainstream steel tube and structural design, with the only similarity being the use of the same engine.

From the available information and market analysis, we can reasonably guess that this new model will fill the CB650R and CB1000R sports street bike lineup in the future, while the front suspension will be inverted fork, the footpegs and handlebar design are inclined to sporty bike setups, and the use of aluminum rims, it should not be difficult to guess that this new model will also have a technologically advanced and retro look. The new model will also have a technological, retro-inspired look.

The document only mentions that the purpose and focus of the two frame designs is for high rigidity for the wrap-around design, and lightweight for the tubular design.

It's still too early to draw any concrete conclusions from the current information, but only the plan to carry a non-dual engine is absolutely true, and the use of a traditional international six-speed or DCT transmission system is possible, but the more important message is that Honda has already made the engine's specifications in line with Euro?5, which means that the manufacturer is still interested in the engine. This means that the carmaker is still optimistic about the overall development of this engine and the ADV market, so it is willing to continue to invest in this engine system, and more importantly, there may be more new cars that utilize this engine system in the future.
