Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 XR 2022

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride bike

cool looks, great display

good brakes

light handling

stable riding feel

great connectivity

high maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

reliable and practical Advanced Rider Assistance Systems such as lean angle ABS

moderate seat height and slim design for universal comfort

good value for money.

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2015

The new Africa Twin is a worthy successor to a legend. It appears sovereign, indestructible and reliable. It awakens the adventurous spirit in the rider and will certainly not lead an unworthy existence in the owner's garage. It is positioned and configured just right and can do everything an Africa Twin has to do. Surprise: The high-tech features are also good off-road.

Stable handling

indestructible overall impression

immaculate details

excellent DTC on off-road and on asphalt

high level of travel comfort

low fuel consumption.

Wheelys with DCT version only with difficulty possible

No power connection in series
