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

BMW R 1250 RS 2023

For me, the BMW R 1250 RS epitomises the classic sports tourer to perfection. The seating position, the engine tuning, the suspension and the electronics - everything has been done just right. For me, the best sport touring motorcycle on the market comes from BMW.

High stability in long turns

agile, revvy boxer engine

good looks

comfortable riding position

extensive accessories list

great ESA suspension

great balance between sport and touring

good feel for the front

wide handlebars for precise control

compact but practical windscreen adjustment

good mirror position

Low position of the sat nav requires looking away from the road

Combined Braking System with ABS requires familiarisation

Cardan drive requires somewhat rougher gear changes
