Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB650R 2023

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning provides enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The chassis components offer a solid balance between everyday life and sportiness.

engine with good revving

adequate power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

comfortable for everyday use

somewhat sluggish

display functional, but not exciting

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2023

The Africa twin cylinder is an adventure bike as an adventure bike should be. The suspension absorbs pretty much all bumps, the engine remains confident in every situation and the ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A bike for every day as well as for the big journey - wherever that may take you.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT (optional)

colour touch-screen display

good ergonomics

Suitability for long journeys

Great Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration

Windscreen adjustment somewhat impractical

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

Windscreen and wind protection not perfect - head turbulence occurs at higher travelling speeds

The engine is too unspectacular for sporty riders
