Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2025

The Honda CB750 Hornet 2025 shows that targeted technical revisions can achieve more than major visual changes. The new suspension setup significantly lifts the model, while the proven two-cylinder engine continues to impress with its riding pleasure and suitability for everyday use. If you are looking for a versatile, stable and affordable naked bike, the Hornet is a well-engineered overall package with only a few weaknesses.

Stable, revised suspension with very good riding performance

Powerful and cultivated two-cylinder engine with a wide usable torque curve

Good ergonomics and confidence-inspiring riding position

Extensive standard equipment including TFT display, riding modes, traction control

Low fuel consumption and easy to maintain

A2 throttle adjustable

Typical Honda reliability and solid workmanship

Simple processing details (e.g. swing arm) partly visibly due to the price

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2025

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT with 19" front wheel turns out to be a suitable candidate for all those who want to ride to work every day, but don't want to miss out on the fun of after-work rides and weekend excursions on two wheels. Despite its size and considerable weight, the Africa twin cylinder is easy to manoeuvre in city traffic and can be used for enduro laps. The DCT version in particular is easy on the hand and prevents constant clutching, resulting in greater safety.

Good protection from the elements

Very smooth ride for commuting on the motorway

Good control of the bike despite its hefty weight due to the low seat height

Proven engine now with even more power

More feedback in colder months thanks to the new 19 inch front wheel

Navigation in the city with Google Maps on Apple Car Play

Apple CarPlay requires cable connection

annoying operating concept

uncomfortable seating position for tall drivers over long distances

seat somewhat uncomfortable
