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

Honda NT1100 DCT 2023

The Honda NT1100 DCT presents itself as a really good touring motorbike. The ride comfort, the DCT transmission and the great Apple Carplay integration ensure that you enjoy riding the motorbike far and wide.

Extensive standard equipment

Really good wind and weather protection

Confident engine

Very suitable for long distances and comfortable

Apple Carplay and Android Auto integration

Suspension setup fits well with the character of the motorbike.

No IMU

limited suspension adjustment options, which reduces the machine's range of use

windshield adjustment requires a lot of effort

engine and DCT response in combination still take some getting used to and sometimes seem rough at first glance.
