Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2020

Who said you need 150 hp or more to be in the "upper class"? The Adventure Sports offers everything a comfortable touring enduro needs, and with its electronic chassis and all conceivable safety features, it needs fear no comparison. Ready for the big tour and, thanks to a range of well over 400 kilometres, also for really long stages, you don't have to stop at all on unpaved roads thanks to the ample suspension travel, and you'll get further than many might think.

sophisticated electronic driving aids

touchscreen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability
