Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Morini Scrambler 1200 2009

And now for the crucial question that comes to mind immediately: how does the Scrambler behave off-road? As with its predecessors, progress in unpaved terrain is only possible to a limited extent due to the rather high weight and above all the short suspension travel, but a ride over gravelled country lanes can certainly be fun.

Set-back seat

high power input

martial look

positive riding experience.

Unimpressive chassis

relatively high weight.

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2022

The Africa Twin is a true Enduro with tough handling qualities. It looks robust and is well equipped for almost any application. The engine is good, but won't blow adrenaline junkies away. The wind protection is great, but too good in summer. Components and attachments are of a high standard. The overall build quality is superior and the mobile phone integration is a great solution. Even after many test rides, the switches still seem illogical and confusing. In direct comparison, it somehow floats above things. It simply drives confidently and well, but cannot shine with spectacular values.

Very good chassis - both mechanical and electronic

DCT option makes it a superior touring bike

high quality and practical electronic ride aids

fundamentally good wind protection

high quality overall impression

flawless engine with great response and linear torque curve

accessible handling

very pleasant ride

wonderfully versatile bike.

Wind protection too good in the heat - even the lowest position of the wind shield hardly lets any wind through

operation via the numerous switches seems complex overall even after 2 days of testing

seat seems a bit too soft after a long day.
