Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018
The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2017
What the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 could do very well before, the new V-Strom 1000 and V-Strom 1000XT can also do very well: a well-balanced motorbike that does not shy away from sporty riding with good long-distance capability. In addition, there are now ultra-modern features such as lean angle ABS and Combined Brake System, which make riding even safer and faster. Suzuki takes criticism seriously, the windshield has been enlarged and, in keeping with the trend, the V-Strom 1000 now comes in a slightly more off-road XT version with wire-spoke wheels, which not only increase stability but also the cool look - especially with the golden rims of the yellow paintwork. Besides all these advantages, the low price remains the absolute killer argument for the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 / XT.
