After we spotted the name “Africa Twin” in the USPTO online filings, buzz about a proper adventure-touring model from Honda have been swirling the internet, and even in print. German magazine Motorrad adds to the rumor mill, saying that the recently released privateer racer-only Honda CRF450 Rally will serve as the basis for the ADV model. Italian online site Moto.it confirms that the Africa Twin will be visually similar to the CRF450 Rally, and goes on to say that the new model will likely not debut in 2014, but instead Spring 2015.

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will finally have spectator restrictions on its mountain-side race course starting with this year’s event. Instead of having spectators sitting right on the tarmac, in a sort of 12.42 mile free-for-all, event organizers for the PPIHC will have severe spectating restrictions, with six designated spectating zones located throughout the race course. In total, the six spectating zones will account for roughly 1.5 miles of course length. As such for 2014, a general admission ticket will give a spectator access to the starting line, Halfway Picnic Grounds, Ski Area, Glen Cove, Cove Creek, and the Devil’s Playground.
