Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda X-ADV 2023

Honda dares - and hits the mark. The X-ADV is a sophisticated, practical and amazingly precise crossover two-wheeler. With the G-mode of the dual-clutch transmission DCT, the off-road capability is underlined even more. The X-ADV's true playground, however, is the country road, where it works excellently and presents an ingenious mixture of sportiness and comfort that is otherwise only known from big tourers and scooters. Many people don't know what to do with this "thing", but once you've ridden the X-ADV, you'll realise what it's capable of.

Engine with sufficient power

very good brakes

comfortable seating position

DCT dual clutch with G-mode

traction control

adjustable windshield

LED light

cool looks

smart key

12V power socket.

High price

storage compartment is only sufficient for a full-face helmet

running boards somewhat narrow

chain drive for scooter/adventure operation requires high maintenance

extroverted appearance is not everyone's cup of tea.

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

The legend is back, Honda claimed wholeheartedly - but the mission has succeeded to the highest degree, the Africa Twin with the rather bulky name CRF1000L Africa Twin is a very agile and excellently rideable enduro that works well on all surfaces. This also applies to gravel and single trails, where easy handling is of course very important. With 95 hp, it is a proud 65 hp short of the Elite, but you don't need more for such balanced handling. In one respect, the CRF1000L Africa Twin is completely unrivalled - it can be ordered with a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).

extremely good and pleasant to drive

engine revs up nicely

great handling

works very well off-road

very suitable for travelling

unique DCT dual-clutch transmission

the engine is unspectacular
