Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2020

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.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT

touch-screen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

windshield perfect for off-roading

Handguards not very robust for off-road use

flood of switches on left handlebar

windshield offers manageable protection

Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2024

The flagship of the Tiger 900 road models. Practically every conceivable feature is on board as standard. With more power and performance, the 2024 Tiger 900 GT Pro is now even easier and more enjoyable to throw into the bend, and even more fun to throw out of the bend.

Stained seats for rider and passenger as standard

Heated low seat (800mm) available

Electronically adjustable rear suspension

Very smooth throttle response

Good smoothness thanks to handlebar damping

Easily accessible bike

Good compromise between smoothness and sportiness

Relatively high price

No radar system

No longer A2 compliant

Display rather sluggish
