Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2015

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2015

Still sensational. It scores with the familiar Honda virtues, but never gets stale. A motorbike that goes with you through thick and thin and doesn't tire even on extra-long tours. Very robust off-road, also copes with really tough passages without any problems. Still the benchmark for touring enduros in 2017.

Comfortable but not boring

Pleasant and perfectly dimensioned engine

Seat height a tad lower than on the KTM- from 175cm height it could work

Suspension elements do everything off-road, but are too comfortably tuned at high speeds

traction control is annoying off-road - always has to be readjusted after every short break.

With all the crossover mania, the Yamaha FJR 1300 AS is finally a motorbike that fits exactly into its intended category. A sports tourer that, thanks to the semi-automatic and the many additional electronic gimmicks, has been implanted with even more long-distance comfort than the conventionally shifted model.

Electrically adjustable windshield

quiet, sonorous four-cylinder engine

comfortable system

downshift automatic button.

Because of the semi-automatic system, it is easy to forget about the clutch.
