Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

Reliable engine

comfortable seating position

well-tuned chassis

good looks

good brakes

optional DCT

performance modes

not quite optimal wind protection

Moto Guzzi Stelvio 2024

Italian character meets modern touring suitability; the Moto Guzzi Stelvio is a successful blend of traditional Guzzi charm and modern technology. Its superior engine, extensive features and outstanding comfort make it a great companion for relaxed long-distance rides. Although it weighs a fair amount and requires a surcharge for some features, it remains an attractive option for touring riders who prioritise character and style.

Characterful, smooth V2 engine with linear power delivery

Modern electronics including connectivity and LED Cornering lights

Comfortable, long-distance ergonomics, ideal for taller riders

Electronically adjustable windscreen - flexible for different speeds

Great handling despite the higher weight

High weight noticeable in tight hairpins and when manoeuvring

rear brake with long idle travel, particularly noticeable in tight bends

despite all-road ambitions, limited off-road capability due to suspension and ground clearance
