Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2023

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.

Those who have to watch their money even in higher price ranges are better off with the Tuono V4 1100 RR than with the Factory version - because it offers less: The chassis is only slightly less sensitive than the more expensive Öhlins components of the Factory, but offers a little more comfort on bumpy roads and the narrower tyres (190/55-17 on the RR instead of 200/55-17 on the Factory!) can tip the scales in hairpin bends. The RR version also has the harmonious V4 power plant that gives so much pleasure. All in all, the "cheaper" Tuono can still do more than many of its direct competitors.

Successful optics

incredibly powerful and easily controllable engine

good chassis

comfortable seating position

good aerodynamics

transparent brakes

top exhaust sound

High price
