Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2023

The Italians know exactly how to polish an icon - the V7 Stone also has the characteristic, longitudinally mounted V2 engine with the typical diagonally protruding cylinders. And this model in particular should appeal not only to true Guzzi fans, but also to all those who are looking for a balanced, uncomplicated bike. Although the engine has its typical vibrations, it behaves in a good-natured manner, the suspension is more comfortable than sporty and the riding position also fits the cosy character perfectly. The single disc brake at the front even grips surprisingly well and the overall look is direct to the heart. Only the LCD dashboard looks out of place and modern.

Modern engine with a classic look

low-maintenance cardan drive

comfortable seating position

good single disc brake at the front

beautiful design

LCD gauges not easy to read, very delayed gear indicator

higher weight

very lax rear brake

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2024

The development of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from a high-legged off-road bike to a touring bike with a 19-inch front wheel will be a step in the right direction for most Adventure Sports customers. The majority of them ride mainly on paved roads and are happy about better handling, more stability and confidence when leaning and more accessible thanks to the lower seat height. The electronics and DCT have also been fine-tuned in the background, which means that the new Adventure Sports does a lot of things right. Despite these changes, you don't have to do without off-road passages. Even with the smaller wheel and shorter suspension travel, the Adventure Sports remains ready for adventure.

Superbly responsive, now even more torquey engine

Bassier sound than before

Semi-active suspension as standard

Finely controllable brakes

19-inch front wheel and wider tyres raise cornering performance to a new level

Lower seat height makes the mighty Adventure Sports more accessible

Good wind protection

Tough off-road terrain now more difficult to master

riders over 1.85 m get loud turbulence on the helmet even in the highest windshield position

5 kg more on the ribs than before
