Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2019

For many, the new Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports is the true Africa Twin, which, with a larger tank, longer suspension travel and higher windshield, takes the long journey even more seriously than the normal Africa Twin already does. The chassis works like a litter, the seating position allows hundreds of kilometres at a stretch - according to Honda 525 on one tank of fuel. However, the agility and manoeuvrability of the normal Africa Twin suffer. With the more attractive appearance of the Adventure Sports, Honda has hit the bull's-eye again: there is currently no more beautiful adventure bike.

The high-quality electronics package, the aggressive riding position and the powerful single-cylinder make it a pure fun machine that takes inexperienced off-road riders firmly by the hand. No matter what surface you're riding on - the 390 Adventure is simply always fun! Whether you need more KTM Adventure is, of course, the next question... but we will clarify that in another test report.
