The adventure motorcycle market has been booming since BMW launched the R80 G/S in the 1980s, and now everyone wants a bike that can do everything. Honda’s Africa Twin, first introduced in 1988 as a 647cc lightweight, has evolved into a 1,084cc behemoth weighing 505 pounds. But don’t let the heft fool you: the CRF1100L Africa Twin is, according to many, excellent off-road. How? Through clever electronics, a reworked frame, and suspension that gives you 9.1 inches of travel up front - 0.4 inches more than BMW’s vaunted R1250 GS. The bike also features 9.8 inches of ground clearance, a low seat height of 34.3 inches, and a narrow frame that makes it manageable despite its mass. Riding modes let you dial in throttle response, ABS, wheelie control, and torque control, while cruise control and Apple CarPlay make long highway slogs bearable. So yes, you can take this hefty beast into the dirt - just be prepared to wrestle it a bit.
