Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda NC750X DCT 2026

The Honda NC750X retains its strengths in the 2025 model year when it comes to everyday practicality, useful features, accessibility and low fuel consumption. The unique DCT dual-clutch transmission is even better now, thanks to its more harmonious setup. A new aspect is its sportiness, which was already made possible by the engine and transmission unit and the agile handling with a low centre of gravity, but is now taken to a new level by the new, more stable dual-disc front brake. Given its outstanding touring capabilities, it’s no surprise that the NC750X sells so well, despite – or perhaps even because of – the fact that it has been around for 13 years. If you can afford it, you should definitely invest in the DCT dual-clutch transmission – that’s what makes the NC750X truly unique!

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2026

The development of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from a high-legged off-road bike 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 accessible 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 suspension 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
