Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2018

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2018

For many, the new Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports is the true Africa Twin, which, with a larger tank, longer suspension travel and higher windshield, takes the long journey even more seriously than the normal Africa Twin already does. The chassis works like a litter, the seating position allows hundreds of kilometres at a stretch - according to Honda 525 on one tank of fuel. However, the agility and manoeuvrability of the normal Africa Twin suffer. With the more attractive appearance of the Adventure Sports, Honda has hit the bull's-eye again: there is currently no more beautiful adventure bike.

On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 with its lavish standard equipment is a very suitable bike for travelling, but on the other hand, with its lengthy travel, lively engine and active ergonomics, it does not shy away from adventures. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low tank, which makes life on and off the beaten track easy.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine reponsiveness

Linear torque curve

Hardly any vibrations in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

Height of travelling comfort

Stable, sporty suspension

Accessible yet exciting character

Good wind and weather protection for the lower half of the body

Tough as nails

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

Unsteady engine running after a cold start

Engine dies off quite easily due to low flywheel mass

Due to the width of the seat, the bike is quite high even with lengthy legs

Poor wind protection and turbulence on the helmet and upper body

Rear brake is difficult to modulate
