Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2022

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2022

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.

Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak 2023

Are you looking for a long-distance adventure bike with that certain extra sportiness? Then the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is just right for you! Slightly sportier ergonomics than its sisters, a chic single swing arm at the rear, some war paint with Pecco Bagnaia's number 1 and, above all, the smaller 17 inch tyres and the electronic Öhlins suspension ensure great handling. Nothing had to be changed to the charismatic 170 Horsepower V4 and the formidable Brembo Stylema stoppers - sporty enough for bold attacks on country roads and race tracks, suitable for everyday use on typical adventure bike tours. In other words, a perfect love affair, which is only spoilt by the high price or, unfortunately, probably prevented in most cases.
