Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2023

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2023

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

BMW F 800 GS 2024

BMW F 800 GS 2024

low seat height

versatile

beginner-friendly but not boring

wide range of customisation options

good balance between comfort and dynamics

Limited freedom of movement on benches with low seat height

brakes fatigue under extreme loads

sporty riders miss some dynamics
