Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2024

The development of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from a high-legged off-road bike 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 accessible 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 suspension 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

In model year 2024, the F 900 GS is significantly cooler and better than its predecessor. It is a fascinating alternative to the R 1300 GS. It is significantly slimmer in terms of weight and appearance. The supposedly attractive price is put into perspective with a practical configuration.

Sporty and aggressive aesthetics

slim rear design

great ergonomics

intuitively arranged controls

pleasantly wide handlebars

well thought-out off-road solutions, such as folding foot brake lever riser.

Standard suspension underdamped and transmits shocks

mechanical noises and vibrations from the engine

high price with full features

wind protection could be better

only tubeless rims available
