The duo will introduce to the viewer, the bike ride of a lifetime.

Honda announced its provision of two CRF1000L Africa Twin adventure motorcycles and production support of the National Geographic Channel-produced "Riding Morocco: Chasing the Dakar" program.

Christophe will share his vast knowledge and demonstrate serious manual transmission off-road riding borne of his experience as a Paris-Dakar rider, while Laura will enjoy traversing an expansive continent on the DCT(1) model which does not require clutch operation. Their adventures, challenges, and encounters in Morocco will undoubtedly set the stage for a thoroughly entertaining program.

Visit National Geographic Channel's website for the broadcasting schedule for this program in your country or region.

(1) Honda's DCT-equipped motorcycles maintain the same direct feel as manual transmission models, yet unburden the rider from clutch and gear-changing operations, providing a superior dimension of sports riding and convenience.
