Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin DCT 2019

The look and design of the Honda CRF1000L Africa TWin DCT is insanely beautiful, but our testers are not dazzled by it. The chassis could be harder, especially for the road, and more power and sportiness would also do the Africa Twin good. Apart from that, however, the rest works great. Reliability, suitability for touring and a well-rounded overall package - what more could you want on a touring enduro.
