Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBF 600 S 2010

The CBF fits the bill. Honda hit the bull's eye with the concept of an easy-to-ride, reliable and at the same time fun motorbike. The two CBF model variants - naked and semi-dressed - remained at the top of the sales statistics in Austria and Germany for years.

3-position (height) adjustable seat

2-position adjustable handlebar

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.
