Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 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.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT

touch-screen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

windshield perfect for off-roading

Standard handguards not very robust for off-road use

Electronic operating concept requires familiarisation and close examination - keyword: flood of switches

Windshield offers manageable protection

Gilera GP 800 2008

At first glance, the GP 800 doesn't stand out that much when it's standing in the car park. Perhaps this is due to the colour of the test model. We had it in a subdued, dark red. All those who are overtaken, car and moped drivers, take notice.

Strong engine

well-tuned automatic

very good chassis for a scooter

convincing braking system.

High wind susceptibility

rather high weight

little storage space

uninspiring manoeuvrability.
