Thats a bummer, given that all 2022 stocks are out.

This would translate to the 500 or 750 series models as well. So nothing to expect this year from bigwing. Hope they launch something before the financial year end( next year).

Hello Everyone, how can I go about looking for an used Africa Twin DCT?

Best option would be to visit Bigwing Topline in Bangalore and enquire.
Other option is to check in any big bike owners group.

Any news on the AT/ATAS India launch for 2024 yet?
Do they allocate just a limited number for the country to deliver or would they deliver as an when they get the orders? I'm looking forward to an ATAS. I'd love to see the combination where I can get all the features from ATAS + the 21/18 combo but it looks like it wont be possible. Everything we get on ATAS would be there with the base model except the larger fuel tank it seems.
Looks like the way they are booking motorcycles and the overall dispatch/delivery process, it seems I'll have to be sure about the edition (color may be default depending on edition and feature it seems so can't be picky there) I'm going for at the time of booking itself!! Are there chances that even after one has booked, they may not deliver since the quota for the year, for the country is over!?

Ketan the 2024 Africa Twin which will eventually come to India (God knows when ) will be coming with a 19 inch front and 18 inch rear wheel.

Thank you.
What I understood from one of the Honda dealers that they're expecting Africa Twin Adventure Sports edition by Mar/Apr this year. However, not sure about the base edition. However, bigwing contact said both of them will be available in India.
I'm looking forward to get the DCT and ES both. However, it seems I won't be able to get a model with 24.8ltr fuel tank + 21in front wheel.
I'd have to go with the ATAS with 19in front wheel and will compromise on off-pavement capbilities or rather upskill to do so with 19in front. but that looks like a more logical direction to me considering how I would use the motorcycle in case if I end up getting one.

I recently visited Bigwing to test ride the Honda Transalp and had a conversation with the sales representative about upcoming launches. He mentioned that the NX500 is scheduled to be launched first, likely around Jan-Feb, with an estimated on-road price of 7.25L to 7.5L in Mumbai. The Africa Twin Adventure Sports is expected to follow around March-April, and the model coming to India will be the ATAS DCT ES. When I inquired about the possibility of the standard Africa Twin being introduced, he informed me that there are no plans for its launch at the moment. Only time will tell what Honda decides, but based on their past launch history, they skipped the standard AT and introduced only the ATAS.

I would have loved to see the standard Africa Twin launched in India, especially now that it comes with tubeless spoked rims. It is considerably lighter than the ATAS and features a 21" front wheel for enhanced off-road performance.
