Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2021

The Africa twin cylinder is an adventure bike as an adventure bike should be. The suspension absorbs pretty much all bumps, the engine remains confident in every situation and the ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A bike for every day as well as for the big journey - wherever that may take you.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT (optional)

colour touch-screen display

good ergonomics

Suitability for long journeys

Great Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration

Windscreen adjustment somewhat impractical

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

Windscreen and wind protection not perfect - head turbulence occurs at higher travelling speeds

The engine is too unspectacular for sporty riders

Yamaha Tenere 700 2022

The Tenere 700 is still unrivalled in 2022. It offers the best compromise between price, off-road capability and ride comfort on the road. It rides into the heart, is super fun and is a motorbike for a wide range of uses. Die-hard fans will forgive the lack of electronic features. The somewhat lax brakes and the annoying fuel cap probably won't.

Very robust and reliable appearance

sporty and sleek look

playful handling

Amazingly sporty and fun engine

Good workmanship

Good chassis with a practical adjustment range

Comparatively low weight

Very tough

ABS can be switched off

Very off-road capable.

Lack of seating comfort on longer tours

brakes seem a bit cheap - lax pressure point and poor braking performance
