Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tenere 700 Explore Edition 2024

The addition of the Ténéré Explore to the model family makes the adventure bike with cult status accessible to a whole new interest group. The shorter travel compared to the other Ténéré 700 models lowers the seat height to 860 millimetres. This results in a more secure stance both off-road and in urban environments. The Explore is made for Ténéré fans who are mainly travelling on asphalt roads.

Quickshifter (Up) on board as standard

pannier rack included ex works

accessible for smaller Ténéré fans, comfort on longer tours

Less travel for off-road

Quickshifter (Down) not yet possible due to missing Ride-by-Wire

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2022

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT

touch-screen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

windshield perfect for off-roading

Standard handguards not very robust for off-road use

Electronic operating concept requires familiarisation and close examination - keyword: flood of switches

Windshield offers manageable protection
