Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2021

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2021

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.

powerful engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT (option)

touch-screen colour display

Long-distance capability

Windshield good for off-road

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

Ergonomics not ideal for standing riding

Yamaha TMAX 2017

Yamaha TMAX 2017

The Yamaha TMAX is still an arrow-quick riding machine in 2017. It remained true to its line and offers motorbike riding performance with scooter comfort. In the current vintage, it now finally has more storage space. The drive unit has been spruced up with lots of electronics and feels fantastic. A real top product at a premium price.

great brakes

high-quality chassis allows high speed even on bad asphalt

great engine with super-tuned electronics for injection and gearbox

high-quality workmanship

High price

somewhat fiddly storage compartment in the front fairing
