The Honda Africa Twin vs the Honda NT1100. An adventure bike and a touring motorcycle that share much of the same DNA but are very much their own motorbikes. But which would be the right choice for you?
Watch as Bryn and James give both motorbikes the ABR Verdict on a road trip through the Cotswolds in this video supported by the good folks at SENA. The boys used the SENA Spyder ST1 to communicate during the making of this video and it proved a capable, reliable, and strong performing MESH-equipped intercom, with all the features we needed during a day of riding and more.

So, back to bikes. Having ridden the Africa Twin as far afield as Thailand, James reckons the CRF1100L Africa Twin has what it takes to topple the NT100 in this head to head. But after a year riding of the NT1100 the length and breadth of UK, Bryn has fallen under the spell of the big Honda.
Find out which bike wins out as the boys give both motorbikes the Adventure Bike Rider Verdict, breaking down they perform as commuters, weekend tourers, off roaders, continental road tourers, and pillion carriers.
But why did we choose to compare these two bikes in particular? Well, both machines share the same engine, chassis, many components, electronics, and more, with the NT1100 at its heart being an Africa Twin with 17" wheels.
So, do you really need the off-road capabilities of the adventure bike if you don't intend to leave the blacktop. Would you be better off buying the road touring machine. Or does the Africa Twin's versatility on and off road make it the obvious choice.
