Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid 2024

The saying "The Best Of Both Worlds" has never been truer with any other motorbike than with the Ninja 7 Hybrid. It combines the comfort and ease of use of a commuter bike with the joy of an unreasonable fun bike. You definitely have to get used to this drive concept when riding - it's not a case of just getting on and riding off! Nevertheless, Kawasaki shows that the technology is also possible in motorbike construction, even if there is still room for improvement in certain areas.

Absolute revolution in motorbike construction

exciting concept well implemented

very versatile motorbike

every riding mode can be used sensibly

good tuning of the suspension and brake components

E-Boost

Heavy transmission load changes in automatic mode

no kickdown function in automatic mode

no parking brake or possibility to stop the motorbike in gear

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2024

The development of the Honda Africa Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from the high-legged off-road motorbike 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 accessibility 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 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
