Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

The legend is back, Honda claimed wholeheartedly - but the mission has succeeded to the highest degree, the Africa Twin with the rather bulky name CRF1000L Africa Twin is a very agile and excellently rideable enduro that works well on all surfaces. This also applies to gravel and single trails, where easy handling is of course very important. With 95 hp, it is a proud 65 hp short of the Elite, but you don't need more for such balanced handling. In one respect, the CRF1000L Africa Twin is completely unrivalled - it can be ordered with a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).

extremely good and pleasant to drive

engine revs up nicely

great handling

works very well off-road

very suitable for travelling

unique DCT dual-clutch transmission

the engine is unspectacular

Honda XL750 Transalp 2024

Honda XL750 Transalp 2024

The Transalp had to prove itself in several tests at 1000PS in 2023. Surprisingly, it scored particularly well in the pillion test on Tenerife. Its accessible nature makes motorcycling easy. You can enjoy the ride and the landscape. The machine offers a surprising amount of sportiness with a very accessible character. All in all, the Transalp is a great all-rounder.

Sporty engine, but also very accessible Wonderfully easy to operate engine with butter-smooth clutch

Engine feels very revvy

Precise transmission

great pillion and plenty of space for pillion rider

Sporty engine - yet low fuel consumption

Switches and dashboard are generally robust

Economical engine

good price/performance ratio

great stability

strong practicality

Driver assistance systems have to manage without IMU - therefore very defensive control

Suspension offers too little adjustment range

no cruise control available
