Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2020

Para mim, a Africa Twin é uma enduro de turismo como deve ser uma enduro de turismo. Isso já era verdade para o modelo antecessor e não mudou com o aumento do deslocamento e da potência. Porque este último permaneceu gerenciável em 102 hp, e a Honda até conseguiu perder alguns quilos em comparação com a CRF1000L. Assim, manteve-se versátil, funcionando tão bem na autoestrada como fora de estrada. O chassis absorve quase todos os solavancos, o motor mantém-se soberano em todas as situações, a ergonomia e o conforto dos bancos são exemplares. Uma moto para todos os dias, bem como para a grande viagem - onde quer que seja.
