Pros and Cons in comparison

Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 2021

The Pan America 1250 is Harley-Davidson's first attempt in the segment of large touring enduros and it has definitely succeeded! Apart from a few, rather negligible flaws, the Pan America 1250 Special is an all-round good adventure bike that even pleases with its off-road qualities. The Revolution Max V2 engine has a sporty character, placing it perfectly in the luxury enduro bike class. With innovative features such as the Adaptive Ride Height System, the Americans could even manage to acquire a larger number of new customers for whom the usual suspects in the big enduro bike segment are all too high.

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2024

The development of the Honda Africa Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from the high-legged off-road motorbike to a touring bike with a 19 inch front wheel will be a step in the right direction for most Adventure Sports customers. The majority of them ride mainly on paved roads and are happy about better handling, more stability and confidence when leaning and more accessibility thanks to the lower seat height. The electronics and DCT have also been fine-tuned in the background, which means that the new Adventure Sports does a lot of things right. Despite these changes, you don't have to do without off-road passages. Even with the smaller wheel and shorter travel, the Adventure Sports remains ready for adventure.

Superbly responsive, now even more torquey engine

Bassier sound than before

Semi-active suspension as standard

Finely controllable brakes

19 inch front wheel and wider tyres raise cornering performance to a new level

Lower seat height makes the mighty Adventure Sports more accessible

Good wind protection

Tough off-road terrain now more difficult to master

riders over 1.85 m get loud turbulence on the helmet even in the highest windshield position

5 kg more on the ribs than before
