Frequently asked
- What is the seat height of the Honda Africa Twin?
- The Honda Africa Twin has a published unladen seat height of 33.5 inches (85 cm). Under your weight the suspension sags roughly 1.8 inch, so the effective height you reach is a little lower.
- Can short riders flat-foot the Honda Africa Twin?
- You can plant both feet flat on the Honda Africa Twin from roughly a 31.7-inch inseam, and get the balls of both feet down from about 30.7 inches (in riding boots). Below that you're on tiptoes.
- Can the Honda Africa Twin be lowered?
- Yes. Off-the-shelf lowering options exist for the Honda Africa Twin — lowering links, a lower seat, or a suspension lowering kit can typically recover around an inch and a half, often enough to move a tiptoe fit to balls-of-the-feet.
