The Tracer 900 GT is the perfect bike for those who find the naked MT-09 too spartan for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm and better aerodynamics, the high-speed problems that the predecessor had to contend with have now been largely eliminated. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

top chassis

fun to ride

good stability

successful revision of aerodynamics

comfort gain for pillion passenger

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2020

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.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT (option)

touch-screen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

windshield perfect for off-roading

Flood of buttons on left handlebar not very clear

handguards not very robust for off-road use

windshield offers manageable protection
