Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XMAX 300 2021

Manufacturers often want to create true all-rounders with their vehicles. Yamaha has fully succeeded in this case with the X-MAX 300. The engine has enough power and a very smooth response. Both in the city and in the countryside, the X-MAX feels very safe and manageable, which results in a lot of driving fun. Thanks to the Smart-Key system, traction control and 45 litres of storage space, the scooter is a perfect companion for everyday use. Only the weak brake stops the X-MAX from being the perfect scooter.

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2020

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
