The look and design of the Honda CRF1000L Africa TWin DCT is insanely beautiful, but our testers are not dazzled by it. The chassis could be harder, especially for the road, and more power and sportiness would also do the Africa Twin good. Apart from that, however, the rest works great. Reliability, suitability for touring and a well-rounded overall package - what more could you want on a touring enduro.

Successful appearance

good workmanship

high reliability

well-functioning DCT

suitable for touring and travelling, also with pillion

great, roaring sound

suitable for off-road use.

chassis a little too soft - makes it difficult to drive a precise line

could do with more sportiness and performance
