Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2025
The Honda CRF1100L Africa twin cylinder impresses with its high level of riding comfort and versatility. Thanks to the low seat height and a wide range of clean, but rather conservatively designed Advanced Rider Assistance Systems, it is ideal for road riders and off-road beginners. The proven, finely controllable engine and the cleanly responsive suspension offer a smooth riding experience. The long-distance comfort, including a low, integrated seating position, matches the good-natured character of the machine. The operating concept of the electronics could be more intuitive and requires familiarisation. The ergonomics for standing off-road and the chassis reserves for tougher off-road sections could be improved. The handguards are also not robust enough for intensive off-road use. Overall, however, the Africa twin cylinder is a well-balanced, comfortable touring machine that masters even light off-road terrain with ease.
Yamaha Tenere 700 2025
In 2025, the Tenere 700 features ride-by-wire, traction control and riding modes for the first time. Strictly speaking, it may have lost some of its unique selling point in the travel enduro market, its purist approach, but this does little to change its character. It is still the versatile, robust adventure bike that feels at home on loose surfaces and also cuts a fine figure on the tarmac. If the new electronic features are not a reason for increased interest in the new T7, then perhaps the many improvements in detail based on customer feedback are. A fixed tank cap, offset clutch cable mount, reinforced rear end and adapted fairings may not sound like much, but in practice they make the Tenere package more pleasant and practical than ever before.
