EICMA 2026: 2027 Honda CRF1150L Africa Twin, first to offer Honda SENSING RIDE

Honda introduced the 2027 CRF1150L Africa Twin at EICMA 2026 bringing increased engine displacement, reduced weight and new rider-assistance technology.

Replacing the CRF1100L, the new generation was developed under the concept of “Shaped by You. True Adventure for All.”, with a focus on performance, balance and ease of handling.

Three variants are offered:

  • Africa Twin
  • Africa Twin Adventure Sports
  • Africa Twin Enduro Sports

Distinctive styling for each variant

The standard Africa Twin retains its signature “Twin Eyes” headlights, now featuring a smaller, sharper design and a simple, functional body layout.

The Adventure Sports adopts a more substantial appearance, emphasising wind protection and long-distance comfort.

The new Enduro Sports variant draws inspiration from the CRF450 RALLY, with “CRF streamline” body lines flowing from the front fender to the rear to highlight its rally character.

Engine and chassis specifications

The Honda CRF1150L Africa Twin uses a 1,131 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, producing 117 hp at 7,500 rpm and 119 Nm of torque at 5,700 rpm.

The engine has been revised, including improvements to the intake and exhaust systems, along with revised gear ratios, for better acceleration and riding comfort.

The new frame and swingarm feature a revised rigidity balance, with a combined weight reduction of 1.4 kg compared with the previous generation.

An auxiliary fuel tank beneath the seat lowers the centre of gravity to improve control and handling at low speeds.

Suspension setup

The Africa Twin and Adventure Sports variants use Showa EERA electronically controlled suspension with Honda Skyhook control.

The system monitors motorcycle movement in real time and continuously adjusts damping to reduce unwanted body movement.

Meanwhile, the Enduro Sports receives front suspension with specifications equivalent to those of the CRF450 RALLY, which competes in the Dakar Rally.

Highlighted equipment includes:

  • An electrically adjustable windscreen on the standard Africa Twin
  • A Honda Smart Key system on the standard Africa Twin
  • A 24-litre fuel tank on the Adventure Sports
  • A 19-inch front wheel on the Adventure Sports
  • A large windscreen on the Adventure Sports
  • A silver-and-black Honda Flagship WING emblem

The series also offers six preset riding modes, coordinating power delivery, traction control, ABS, DCT and electronically controlled suspension according to each variant’s equipment.

Honda SENSING RIDE

The Africa Twin Adventure Sports becomes the first Honda motorcycle to offer Honda SENSING RIDE, available on the Adventure Sports DCT variant.

Using millimetre-wave radar at the front and rear, the system provides functions including:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
  • ACC with Stop & Go
  • Group Ride Assist for group riding
  • Distance Assist
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Emergency Brake Assist
  • Blind Spot Information
  • Rear Distance Information
  • Rear Collision Warning

Use of sustainable materials

Honda also uses more sustainable materials, including chemically recycled acrylic and nylon, plant-derived DURABIO™ plastic for the windscreen and deflectors, and recycled materials for bodywork components and seat bases.

EICMA 2026: 2027 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade unveiled, adds HRC Works Edition variant

Honda unveiled the fully redesigned 2027 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade at EICMA 2026 with three variants in the lineup.

Developed under the concept of “Total Control for the Track”, approximately 75% of the motorcycle’s components have been newly designed to improve competitiveness on the racetrack and enhance riding enjoyment.

The lineup comprises:

  • Standard Fireblade
  • Fireblade SP
  • HRC Works Edition

The HRC Works Edition is a new homologation variant for the Superbike World Championship (WSBK) and is also designed for road use.

Specifications

The 2027 Fireblade uses a 999 cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four engine, producing 218 hp at 14,000 rpm and 114 Nm of torque at 10,500 rpm.

For the first time on a production Honda motorcycle, the engine features a two-stage variable-length intake funnel system.

At 11,750 rpm and above, the upper section of the funnel moves upwards and separates from the lower section. This system improves low-to-mid-range power while maintaining high-rpm performance.

The two-motor throttle-by-wire system has also been refined to improve acceleration response, engine braking control and the transition from deceleration to acceleration.

Replacing aluminium with magnesium in selected components, including the cylinder head cover, reduces weight by more than 200 grams on the Fireblade SP.

Chassis and suspension

The new aluminium twin-tube frame reduces lateral rigidity by 20% while maintaining torsional rigidity. Frame weight has also been reduced by 440 grams.

The aluminium swingarm has been redesigned, with the pivot shaft diameter reduced from 20 mm to 17 mm.

Its lateral rigidity is reduced by 12% without compromising torsional rigidity, improving rear tyre contact feel when cornering.

The standard Fireblade uses a Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) at the front and a Showa BFRC-lite rear shock absorber.

Meanwhile, the Fireblade SP features Öhlins Smart-EC3.0 electronically controlled suspension, comprising an NXP front fork and a TTX36 rear shock absorber.

Damping settings for each variant are optimised for track use while improving the suspension’s ability to absorb uneven surfaces during everyday riding.

A titanium fuel tank without an external plastic cover is also used to reduce weight.

The SP variant receives a hand-finished hairline treatment that leaves portions of the titanium surface exposed.

Track-focused HRC Works Edition

The HRC Works Edition is designed exclusively for solo riding.

It features components made from carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), including:

  • Front winglets
  • Front fender
  • Air duct fairing

Its suspension comprises an Öhlins NPX front fork and TTX36 rear shock absorber with mechanical adjustment, while the braking system uses Brembo Hypure Sports components.

Available HRC Racing Kit components include:

  • PGM-FI and ignition control unit
  • A gearshift system with neutral in the lowest position
  • Steering head collar
  • Swingarm pivot collar
  • Other racing components

Greater use of sustainable materials

All variants incorporate four categories of sustainable materials, including a plant-derived DURABIO™ windscreen, alongside recycled materials used in the seat bases, air cleaner case and side covers.

The new silver-and-black Honda Flagship WING emblem uses chemically recycled acrylic resin.

Boon Siew Honda establishes Kota Damansara Sales HQ

Boon Siew Honda Sdn. Bhd. announces the opening of its new Sales Headquarters in Kota Damansara. A purpose-built, three-storey facility spanning 7,000 square feet that marks the first time BSH has established a dedicated commercial base in the nation’s capital.

A quick glance of the new Sales HQ:

  • 7,000 square feet total floor space across three storeys.
  • 3 functions under one roof: Sales, Marketing, and After-sales Parts & Services.
  • 1st BSH dedicated commercial headquarters in central, Malaysia.

The Sales HQ houses BSH’s Sales Planning team, covering both the big bike and commuter segments alongside its Marketing, and the After-sales Parts & Services division. It also offers 2 dedicated training rooms and a full-fledge technical centre exclusively to train and dealers in both technical and non-technical skills.

Centralizing all three functions under a single address is a structural first for BSH, and one that directly addresses the coordination challenges that arise when sales, communications, and aftersales leadership operate from different locations.

At 7,000 square feet across three floors, the Sales HQ is a purpose-fitted space designed to support BSH’s operational requirements as both its product portfolio and dealer network continue to expand.

The facility provides dedicated workspace, meeting rooms, and collaboration space for the teams whose daily work spans from campaign planning and media engagement to dealer development and after-sales support which drives the company’s market presence. It is, in the most direct sense, the physical home of how BSH takes its products to market.

“Seven thousand square feet and three floors may sound like a property announcement. But what this building represents is in fact a decision to put our Sales, Marketing, and After-sales leadership in one place, working from one address, with one shared view of the market. For a company headquartered in Penang, opening a dedicated commercial base in KL is a statement of how seriously we take the work that happens here.” — Kunitomo Asano, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, BSH.

ONE ADDRESS. THREE TEAMS. FASTER DECISIONS.

The practical impact of the Sales HQ is most visible in how BSH’s three functions now relate to one another.

With all three teams now operating from the same building, decisions that matters to the market will now happen in the same space more seamlessly. For a company managing a growing portfolio of product line up, dealer programmes, marketing communications and customer service, that structural change provides real operational value.

The Kota Damansara address also positions BSH’s leadership teams in immediate proximity to its business and industry partners ecosystem that is concentrated in and around Kuala Lumpur.

“The three teams inside this building talk to each other every day. Now they can do it in the same corridor rather than across a phone call. That is not a small thing when the pace of what we do demands that kind of speed.” — Kunitomo Asano, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, BSH.

About the Kota Damansara Sales Headquarters

The BSH Kota Damansara Sales HQ is also a dedicated warranty parts support point for the authorised dealer network. Operational details will be communicated to dealers directly. BSH’s primary headquarters remains in Pulau Pinang.

Honda Access launches “Bulldog Style” accessory package for Super-ONE EV

Prospective buyers of the Honda Super-ONE EV can now purchase the “Bulldog Style” genuine accessory package from Honda Access.

This package is designed to highlight a sportier character and the unique personality of this compact EV.

Exciting Accessory List for the Super-ONE

At first glance, the design appears as a tribute to the classic 1983 Honda City Turbo II, affectionately known as the “Bulldog” by its fans.

This resemblance is particularly noticeable in the Bulldog side decals, which reuse the typography of the City Turbo II.

The original model featured the wording “Turbo II With Intercooler,” while the Honda Super-ONE delivers a new era message: “Bulldog With Electric Power.”

Additional features include a sculpted tailgate spoiler for a more aggressive look, dual-color fog lights (available in white or yellow), and 15-inch ME-027 wheels.

Finally, the Super-ONE is enhanced with a black “H” logo package and a dark-finish model name emblem.

Official Launch This Year

Honda is expected to launch this model in the Japanese market by mid-year.

Weighing around 1,090 kg, the Super-ONE EV is one of the lighter electric cars in its class.

It also boasts a lower center of gravity compared to equivalent petrol vehicles, capable of achieving a driving range of 274 km (WLTC data).

This EV additionally offers a special “Boost” driving mode that enhances power output from 63 hp to 94 hp for more dynamic acceleration.

Furthermore, it can simulate a seven-speed gear shift and features an active noise control system that mimics the sound of an internal combustion engine.

According to reports from media partner Paultan, this model is also expected to enter the Malaysian market in the future.

Honda CB400 Super Four comes with E-Clutch technology and iconic steel tank

Honda unveiled two of its latest concept models in Japan: the Honda CB400 Super Four and CBR400RR Super Four.

Both new models were showcased at the 42nd Osaka Motorcycle Show 2026 held last week.

New Platform, New Engine

The CB400 Super Four and CBR400RR Four are built on an entirely new platform designed to prioritize riding pleasure.

Their engines are entirely new as well, featuring a four-cylinder inline design equipped with E-Clutch technology and a Throttle-by-Wire system.

For your information, E-Clutch technology simplifies gear shifting for riders without the need to pull a clutch lever. However, riders still have the option to operate it manually.

CB400 retains ‘Steel Tank’ tradition

In a special interview, Asato Kato, the designer, emphasized that the CB400 Super Four must retain its iconic identity, particularly the steel tank.

During the design phase, Kato explained that the choice of materials and the shape of these components is something that cannot be compromised.

Additionally, modern motorcycles feature more complex frame structures, making it challenging to create traditional tank shapes as seen in the past.

Because of this, most models use resin, but for Kato, a CB400 Super Four must have a steel tank.

“In my opinion, a steel tank is essential to beautifully represent that balance, and I will not give up even though it is challenging to produce.”

Kato also employed clay modeling techniques to demonstrate that his ideas can be realized.

The Best Machine Ever Produced

With a new engine and chassis combination, the CB400 Super Four offers benefits such as more powerful performance, a lightweight chassis, and improved handling.

As it approaches the final stages of development, the machine has also been personally tested by the R&D team at a secret location in Japan.

“This bike is the best!” This is the feedback collected from the team of designers, engineers, and test riders who have personally evaluated the CB400 Super Four.

TEST DRIVE

Honda CR-V 1.5V AWD: the right choice for post-career life – test drive

Although the local market is flooded with various advanced SUV options, the Honda CR-V maintains its own loyal fanbase.

One reason may be the prominent “H” logo displayed on the front.

After being given the opportunity to test drive this SUV, several features make the CR-V stand out even more.

For those who want to enjoy life after their career, this could be the perfect choice.

A More Aggressive Appearance

Compared to earlier models that resembled a dumpling, the sixth-generation CR-V has a sharper and more aggressive look.

The design of the lights gets a modern makeover, especially at the rear, reminiscent of Swedish-made SUVs.

With the A-pillar moved back, the hood design of the CR-V appears longer.

Moreover, Honda engineers have lowered the position of the A-pillar base and shoulder line, creating a more balanced body proportion for the SUV.

As a result, the new CR-V looks smaller, yet its dimensions indicate that it is actually larger than its predecessor.

A More Spacious Cabin

In addition to the increase in length, the wheelbase has grown by 40 mm to 2,700 mm.

This contributes to a more spacious cabin, providing comfort for second-row passengers.

The “Machine Minimum, Man Maximum” approach has also been applied to the cabin space.

Unlike its predecessor, the CR-V adopts a dashboard design that closely resembles the 11th-generation Civic.

Despite a more minimalist design, it still offers an elegant and luxurious experience.

All function buttons feel tight, and the gear shifting for PRND feels neat with every drive.

Wood accents in several places align well with the theme of a post-career vehicle that many people are looking for.

User-friendly SUV

The CR-V does not come equipped with an oversized screen packed with various menus.

Instead, it features a 10-inch infotainment screen, complemented by a 9-inch analog and digital hybrid meter for drivers.

The menu display on both screens is clear, large, and easy to operate.

With connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, there’s no need for a smartphone holder attached to the air vents.

This is impossible due to the factory-standard honeycomb grille installation.

Even without the presence of a Bose audio system with 12 speakers, the standard audio system in this variant offers pleasant sounds throughout the journey.

The provided seats are indeed very comfortable, complete with memory functions.

However, the leather upholstery can make the seating uncomfortable, especially after prolonged use.

Practicality at its best

The practicality aspect makes the CR-V well-suited for families.

The cargo space is exceptionally spacious, around 589 liters, and can reach up to 1,072 liters when the second-row seats are folded down.

Additionally, the CR-V offers nearly 90-degree door openings for the second row, making it easier for passengers to enter and exit without feeling cramped.

This is especially convenient when installing child seats.

The floor design for second-row passengers is nearly flat for an SUV with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.

What I particularly appreciate about the CR-V is its wide outward visibility, enhanced by the positioning of the side mirrors slightly back to reduce blind spots.

Turbo engine performance

The Honda CR-V 1.5V AWD is the ideal choice for those seeking a simple yet effective driving experience.

The 1.5-liter turbo engine, delivering 190 hp and 243 Nm of torque, is paired with a CVT transmission and an AWD system—a solid combination with no need for argument.

Acceleration feels smooth, and can be summoned easily when the driver needs extra power, especially for overtaking.

What makes this combination excellent is the performance at constant speeds— the cabin feels quiet without noticeable noise.

The AWD system provides additional confidence for the driver during highway cruising and offers more grip in curves.

Based on my driving experience, I achieved a fuel consumption rate of around 7.9 liters per 100 km.

Vehicle control – more important than ever

Enhancing the driving experience of the CR-V is how the handling system performs throughout the ride.

It is not a sport-tuned SUV produced as standard from the factory.

The suspension is not particularly stiff, leaning more towards comfort.

Nevertheless, you can feel the harmony of precise steering, responsive throttle and brakes, and comfortable suspension tuning, which keeps a smile on your face.

Is the road quality imperfect? It doesn’t matter when you’re sitting in the CR-V.

During the festive season, I intentionally avoided using the highway to assess the suspension system’s efficiency on the CR-V.

Honestly, it performs significantly better compared to earlier models.

Safety aspects could be improved

As standard, the Honda CR-V comes equipped with features such as:

  • Eight airbags
  • 360-degree camera
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
  • Honda LaneWatch
  • Honda Sensing features (FCW, AEB, ACC, LSF, etc.)

Honestly, I feel it’s a bit disappointing for an SUV priced at around RM180,000 not to be equipped with a blind-spot monitoring system for both left and right sides.

While the Honda LaneWatch system is helpful, its limited operation on the left side and the quality of the camera restrict its benefits.

Thankfully, in the latest 2026 update of the Honda CR-V, Honda Malaysia is willing to replace the LaneWatch system with a Blind Spot Information (BSI) system and a Cross Traffic Monitoring (CTM) system.

Conclusion

The Honda CR-V 1.5V AWD represents a great choice for those looking for a spacious, comfortable, and practical SUV.

Even though the market is saturated with various options, it does not hinder the CR-V from continuing to shine wherever you go.

With a well-rounded offering, it remains a top choice among consumers.
