Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Still sensational. It scores with the familiar Honda virtues, but never gets stale. A motorbike that goes with you through thick and thin and doesn't tire even on extra-long tours. Very robust off-road, also copes with really tough passages without any problems. Still the benchmark for touring enduros in 2017.

Comfortable but not boring

Pleasant and perfectly dimensioned engine

Seat height a tad lower than on the KTM- from 175cm height it could work

Suspension elements do everything off-road, but are too comfortably tuned at high speeds

traction control is annoying off-road - always has to be readjusted after every short break.

Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 2018

Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 2018

Yamaha's sporty all-purpose weapon has been further improved. It is the perfect bike for all those for whom the naked MT-09 is too spartanly designed for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm and better aerodynamics, the 2018 model also largely eliminates the high-speed problems that its predecessor had to contend with. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

Top chassis

Driving pleasure guaranteed

Successful revision of the aerodynamics

Comfort gain for pillion passenger

Cruise control

Heated grips

Automatic gearshift

Pretty colour display
