Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 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.
Honda XL750 Transalp 2025
The essence of the Honda XL750 Transalp has not completely changed with the revision for 2025, it still manages the balancing act between different disciplines of motorcycling and shines wherever it doesn't get too extreme. Its greatest strengths are its low weight and the resulting easy handling. The engine is a really powerful unit and the engine management is well setup, but the inline-two could offer a little more punch at low revs. The suspension has now been improved, the brakes offer plenty of comfort and handle all moderate riding situations with aplomb, but merciless cornering or hard off-roads are still not entirely suited to it. However, the Transalp's task is not to win races or rallies, but to carry everyday riders and long-distance touring riders through the world with confidence. And it can do that! Only one thing hurts here: The lack of cruise control.
