Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2023

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.

However, such minor details cannot tarnish the good image of the Honda CB500F. After the first few metres, there was no question that it would be an excellent choice as an entry-level motorbike. But the fact that it can also meet higher demands is a little surprising, especially the engine pleases with its agile response and pronounced revving pleasure.
