This Custom Africa Twin Has Eyes That Stare Straight Into Your Soul

Adventure bikes have never been more popular as they are today. From weekend warriors to round-the-world riders, the ADV scene is thriving. So, it was only a matter of time before custom builders started putting their own spin on these go-anywhere machines.

Enter Auto Fabrica and their stunning Type 22—a modern Honda Africa Twin reimagined as a Dakar rally racer from the golden era.

One look at the Type 22, and you’re instantly taken back to the ‘80s, when Honda’s big-bore rally bikes were conquering the desert. The oversized tank, angular bodywork, and that perfect red-on-white livery scream Paris-Dakar heritage. But this isn’t just some old-school tribute. It’s a masterclass in blending vintage styling with cutting-edge technology.
