To summarise the engine this bike has loads of manageable power that never signs off I couldn't see many in this market segment looking for more. This all comes under power management, and this really is where the whole review begins (See next segment). I thought my brain would explode when I first saw it sitting on the handlebars in front of me, but by the end of the ride, I have to say I fell in love with this little computer. So what does all that mean? In short, there is an onboard computer that will do everything for you if that is what you are looking for. It manages rear wheel traction via TBW and HSTC, front braking grip through Cornering ABS, front wheel lift through Wheelie Control and also adds Rear Lift Control. (Straight from the brochure) - At the very heart of the Africa Twin is a Bosch MM7.10 six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) tucked away at the centre of the machine, that measures â€“ in real-time â€“ roll angle/rate, pitch angle/rate and yaw angle/rate. This all ties in with all new electronics. One of the highlights of this bike has to be the sound it is most definitely a winner. The bike also gets a new cylinder head, valve timing and lift, throttle body and exhaust. To get the technical specs out of the way, the Africa Twins fully revised SOHC 8-valve parallel twin engine has received an increase in capacity from 998cc to 1084cc through a 10mm longer stroke, boosting peak power to 75kW (around 100bhp) at 7500rpm, and claims 105 Nm of torque peaking at 6250 RPM. I did see my life flash before my eyes on quite a few occasions, but I guess that's where the word adventure might come in!

But in the end, I did get to know this bike intimately after a lot of trial and error. Granted as far as a bike test goes it was frustrating as I seemed to be sitting at around 120kph for hour after hour no matter the terrain with no letup. Despite some sticky situations and a few crashes, I couldn't have had more fun. I am a motocross rider, and this was my first foray into the adventure bike world, and I have to say I am converted. I know the conclusion comes at the end of a test/review article, but I have to say ahead of time I just loved this bike. The head of the line Africa Adventure Sports ES with Showa electronic suspension comes in at $26,499.

The addition of DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) will set you back another $1000 on top of that. Retail pricing starts at $19,999AU for the standard Africa Twin with the Africa Adventure Sports model coming in at $23,499. Of the 2000km covered at least 1400km was over off-road terrain that varied from very high-speed outback tracks to fast sandy rutted tracks then fast rocky tracks - not much about this test was slow! In fact, I am pretty sure I averaged 100kph for the entire ride. The eight assembled journalists from around Australia put the range through their paces in a three-day blast through the Australian outback around the Uluru, Alice Springs, Binns Track and Devils Marbles areas where a whisker under 2000km was covered! At the invitation of Honda Australia, we were invited to test the 2020 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin range, which consists of the standard Africa Twin, Adventure Sport and the Adventure Sport ES, with Honda saying the 75% of the bikes are all new.
