Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR600RR 2024

The Honda CBR600RR is a sporty bike with impressive riding pleasure and precise handling. The well-adjusted suspension, powerful brakes and reliable quickshifter ensure an excellent riding experience, especially on winding roads. The comfortable seating position and the modern display also contribute to the positive overall impression. However, there are also some weaknesses: The heat generated by the under-seat exhaust can be uncomfortable in city traffic and when travelling at slow speeds, and the engine's power at low revs leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, the soft suspension can reach its limits on the race track. Overall, the CBR600RR is an excellent bike for sporty riders who are willing to make these compromises.

Excellent riding pleasure and precise handling

Powerful and easy to modulate brakes

Reliable quickshifter

Comfortable, sporty riding position

Modern display and high-quality controls

Underseat exhaust generates a lot of heat when driving slowly

Lack of torque and power at low revs

Soft suspension can be disadvantageous on the race track

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 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.
