Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2020

The Africa Twin is a true Enduro with tough handling qualities. It looks robust and is well equipped for almost any application. The engine is good, but won't blow adrenaline junkies away. The wind protection is great, but too good in summer. Components and attachments are of a high standard. The overall build quality is superior and the mobile phone integration is a great solution. Even after many test rides, the switches still seem illogical and confusing. In direct comparison, it somehow floats above things. It simply drives confidently and well, but cannot shine with spectacular values.

Very good chassis - both mechanical and electronic

DCT option makes it a superior touring bike

high quality and practical electronic ride aids

fundamentally good wind protection

high quality overall impression

flawless engine with great response and linear torque curve

accessible handling

very pleasant ride

wonderfully versatile bike.

Wind protection too good in the heat - even the lowest position of the wind shield hardly lets any wind through

operation via the numerous switches seems complex overall even after 2 days of testing

seat seems a bit too soft after a long day.

KTM 1190 Adventure 2016

The KTM 1190 Adventure is an absolute all-rounder, there is no demand that it does not fulfil: It combines sport, touring, mountain passes and off-road riding. With hardly any other "all-rounder" motorbike is it so fast - even on the racetrack the 1190 Adventure cuts a fine figure with its 150 hp. An unbeatable climber, especially on narrow mountain roads, but also a pleasant companion on the daily ride to work. Also included is a comprehensive electronics package with adjustable power modes, traction control and even a lean angle ABS is on board.

Combines sport with comfort

buttery smooth gearbox

powerful and well controllable engine

excellent seating position

handy chassis

sophisticated electronics

lean angle ABS

Engine jerks a little below 3000 revs

unlike its predecessor, it no longer looks quite so independent

smooth gliding is not its strong point
