Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 2022

With its three-cylinder engine and high-quality equipment, Triumph has made a real statement with the Tiger Sport 660. In the small sports tourer class, it stands out from the field and offers a good compromise between sportiness and touring suitability. We would recommend the quickshifter to every buyer and we hope that Triumph will optimise the chassis in the next model revision. A real recommendation for fans of compact touring motorbikes!

great engine

optional quickshifter is a MUST

comfortable ergonomics

high-quality equipment

good wind protection

Chassis too soft at sporty speeds

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2025

The Honda CRF1100L Africa twin cylinder impresses with its high level of riding comfort and versatility. Thanks to the low seat height and a wide range of clean, but rather conservatively designed Advanced Rider Assistance Systems, it is ideal for road riders and off-road beginners. The proven, finely controllable engine and the cleanly responsive suspension offer a smooth riding experience. The long-distance comfort, including a low, integrated seating position, matches the good-natured character of the machine. The operating concept of the electronics could be more intuitive and requires familiarisation. The ergonomics for standing off-road and the chassis reserves for tougher off-road sections could be improved. The handguards are also not robust enough for intensive off-road use. Overall, however, the Africa twin cylinder is a well-balanced, comfortable touring machine that masters even light off-road terrain with ease.
