Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2023

The Africa twin cylinder is an adventure bike as an adventure bike should be. The suspension absorbs pretty much all bumps, the engine remains confident in every situation and the ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A bike for every day as well as for the big journey - wherever that may take you.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT (optional)

colour touch-screen display

good ergonomics

Suitability for long journeys

Great Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration

Windscreen adjustment somewhat impractical

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

Windscreen and wind protection not perfect - head turbulence occurs at higher travelling speeds

The engine is too unspectacular for sporty riders

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT 2022

The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT with its inline three is extremely agile and sporty to ride, the 119 hp already behave extremely potent in the naked bike derivative Yamaha MT-09, on the touring Tracer 9 GT hardly less. Of course, the engineers in Japan are no beginners when it comes to touring qualities, and the Tracer 9 GT spoils you with comfort thanks to the electronically adjustable chassis and a very comfortable riding position including good weather protection. All in all, it is still quite a touring sportswoman. The look is unique, only the split mini-displays are a matter of taste.

Powerful engine with great tuning

light and stable handling

electronically adjustable chassis

comprehensive electronics package

good wind protection

great passenger comfort.

somewhat rough clutch

display takes some getting used to
