5 reasons why we love living with the Honda Africa Twin for two years

By: AdvWisdom Title: 5 reasons why we love living with the Honda Africa Twin for two years Sourced From: advwisdom.com/a/5-reasons-why-we-love-living-with-the-honda-africa-twin-for-two-years/ Published Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2021 08:51:45 +0000

If you had unlimited money, all the time in the world, and your choice of a bike to ride, which trip would you take and which one would you take?

It’s the kind of question that is regularly debated at Adventure cyclistwhich means I can safely say my answer. I would travel the world in a near-perfect loop, something like that Long drive around The trip became famous in 2004, with slight distractions to traverse Japan, America’s west coast, and Morocco. And I would do anything with the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports.

For regular APR Readers who have been keeping an eye on our long-term garage updates, my answer is hardly surprising. After almost two years and well over 10,000 miles in Great Britain with both variants of the Africa Twin, the touring Adventure Sports and the standard model, it has proven to be an extremely powerful adventure bike.

But beyond that, the Honda took advantage of the unconscious urge that drives me to load up my bags and explore the world on two wheels. I loved having both versions of the bike in my garage, one after the other, and the day the Japanese manufacturer finally takes the keys from me is going to be a really sad one.

Before that day comes I thought I’d give you the five reasons I think either of the Africa Twins would make a great bike for your next adventure.

Mile-eating ability

Since the trips abroad were quickly taken off the cards a month after I first got the keys to the adventure sports, I have not yet realized my dream of using them on Romania’s Transfăgărăşan or the desert roads of Morocco. Instead, I made an effort to explore the UK and was fortunate enough to spin my bikes north and travel to Scotland’s NC500 in 2020 where I discovered the bike excelled as a road tourer.

At freeway speed it sits like a barnacle on the road, undeterred by cross winds or the turbulent air of trucks, and drives happily at speeds up to and even beyond. The huge 25L fuel tank means it will last all day and give you a range of 300 miles if I’m careful to drive efficiently.

Life in the saddle is also comfortable and offers a relaxed seating position for six feet and sufficient weather protection. If I regularly have big days, I would find a comfort seat in the accessories catalog, but overall the Africa Twin is an extremely powerful and comfortable kilometer eater.

In terms of passenger comfort, the luggage on the standard model I’m currently riding seems to be mounted half an inch too far forward, which has resulted in my significant other uncomfortably bumping their legs against it while riding. So if you’re planning a tour for two, take your partner on a test drive to make sure they don’t have the same problem.

Fun in the curves

Long-distance driving is all well and good, of course, but when I finish stints on toll roads and highways, I like to take turns. In this case, I want a bike that puts a smile on my face. Fortunately, the Africa Twin is delivering properly.

From Cheddar Gorge in Somerset (pictured above) to the tight turns of Scotland’s magnificent Quiraing, and even during the Sunday morning explosions in the Cotswolds, cycling was always fun when things got tough.

With highways in the exterior mirrors, it takes on the curves with agility and temperament, which seem to contradict its size and weight. Performance is doubly impressive given the large 21-inch front wheel, a trait that typically degrades on-road performance in favor of off-road capabilities, and the Honda engineering team has managed to strike the right balance.

Off-road skills

When I started riding the Africa Twin I have to admit that I was a little off-road newbie. And while seasoned trail riders would probably turn up their noses at the idea, I mainly developed my newfound skills and confidence on the two big Hondas, which says something about the bike’s performance.

From learning the basics at the Honda Adventure Center under the watchful eyes of Dave Thorpe, to going greenlaning trips on knotty, rutted trails, the Africa Twin excelled, especially the lighter standard model that would be my pick if I’m off the road on a regular basis Hobby.

The standing position is natural, comfortable, and I’ve spent hours traveling back in time with no discomfort from my knees or arms. While it’s a large 1,100cc adventure bike, it also keeps its weight relatively low, making low-speed maneuvers and paddling through ruts easier than you’d expect.

Particularly noteworthy is the double clutch transmission (DCT) from Honda, which came into its own on my first excursion into the terrain at the Honda Adventure Center. Those new to trail riding will know how confusing shifting gears while standing up can be, but DCT allowed me to focus fully on shifting my weight through the pegs and choosing the right line while I was doing it could still override with the paddles located on the left switchgear when I wanted more control.

Technology on the Africa Twin

The technology of an adventure bike may be a controversial topic in some circles and I can quickly tell when it is not well integrated, but I am very impressed with the range of electronic aids on the Africa Twin.

As an iPhone fan, I particularly liked the Apple CarPlay integration, which was a revelation (for other smartphone users there is also Android Connect). By synchronizing the bike with my phone and a bluetooth headset, I can control the songs I hear on Spotify, control my route on Google Maps (helpful projected onto the large TFT in front of me) and even take calls. from the left switchgear.

There are also six driver modes, including two fully customizable, seven-level traction control, wheelie control, the ability to change engine braking, and cruise control, all come standard. While this may seem like a lot, the biggest compliment I can give is that they hardly affect the driving experience until called upon when things get a little out of shape.

The x factor

Finally, there is one unquantifiable quality that I want to address. It’s an X-Factor that every bike owner is looking for, and I think the Africa Twin has it in abundance. Whenever I swing my leg over the saddle, it seems to be speaking to the deep seated part of my mind, body, or soul that is responsible for my love of two wheels.

Whether it’s the aggressive styling ready to take over with the world, or the throaty exhaust that echoes off the red stone walls of the Cotswold villages, I was damned lucky to end up calling the Africa Twin “mine” to be able to 2 years.

Test the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin yourself

APR Founder Alun has long spoken about motorcycling being an affair of the heart, not of the head, and there is no doubt that Honda’s Africa Twin has a direct line to mine. Whether this also applies to you is a question that only a visit to your local dealer and an afternoon in the saddle can answer.

2020 Honda Motorcycles Update 2: New Africa Twins and More! http://dlvr.it/RDmxnr http://dlvr.it/RDmxnr

[bakkermotorszaandam]

Africa Twin 1 naam 2 motoren

Met de introductie van de Adventure Sports in 2018 zijn er 2 verschillende Africa Twin modellen ontstaan. Ze delen heel veel dezelfde onderdelen maar zijn toch verschillende motoren. De dit jaar geïntroduceerde CRF1100 maakt de verschillen veel groter en kun je echt over 2 verschillende motoren spreken. We gaan het hebben over de AT en de ATAS, want Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports met of zonder de toevoeging CRF1100 is gewoon te lang.

Klein stukje historie

30 jaar geleden kwam de eerste, op de Parijs-Dakar rally geïnspireerde, Africa Twin XRV650 op de markt. 2 jaar later werd de 650cc v-twin ge-upgrade naar de XRV750 die het, zeer succesvol, volhield tot 2003. Pas in 2016 werd er nieuw leven geblazen in de iconische naam Africa Twin en kwam de nieuwe AT met een vloeistofgekoelde 998 cc parallel twin motorblok. En ook nu was de motor een succes. XRV was niet meer de benaming maar kreeg het de letters CRF naar de in de motorcross zeer gewaardeerde en succesvolle Honda CRF450. En nu in 2020 is het motorblok gegroeid naar 1084cc met 102pk, waar dat in 1998 57pk’s waren.

De in 2018 verschenen Adventure Sports was een eerbetoon aan de eerste Africa Twin, kreeg ook een vergelijkbaar tricolor kleurschema en een speciale editie logo op de tank. Maar deze ATAS verschilde ook op andere punten van de AT, zoals hier al eens beschreven.

De AT 2020

In de 2020 modellen zijn echt zeer veel verbeteringen doorgevoerd, dit is eigenlijk geen upgrade maar een compleet nieuwe motor. En door zeer veel technische hulpmiddelen niet alleen bij de tijd maar zeker klaar voor de toekomst. Honda heeft het weer geflikt om een nieuwe referentie voor de concurrentie neer te zetten.

De verschillen

Beide motoren zitten vol moderne techniek en hulpmiddelen. Het frame, motorblok, uitlaat (met gruwelijk goed geluid) en interactieve dashboard met veel rij-instellingen zijn identiek maar daarna komen flink wat verschillen:

CRF1100 AT

Off-road gericht Tankinhoud 18,8L Rijklaargewicht 226kg (DCT 236kg) Afmetingen (LxBxH) 2.334 mm x 961 mm x 1.391 mm Niet verstelbaar windscherm Smaller kuipwerk Smaller zadel Spaakwielen met binnenband Showa handm. instelbaar ophanging Ook in DCT versie leverbaar

€16.858,- / DCT €18.158 BROCHURE

CRF1100 ATAS

Touring gericht Tankinhoud 24,8L Rijklaargewicht 238kg (DCT 248kg) Afmetingen (LxBxH) 2.330 mm x 960 mm x 1.560/1620 mm Elektronisch windscherm (5 standen) Verwarmde handvatten Spaakwielen tubeless banden 12V aansluiting Showa EERA elektronisch ophanging (optie) Bochten verlichting met drie niveaus Draagrek achter ESS technologie Grotere bodemplaat Valbescherming beugels Ook in DCT versie leverbaar €21.058,- / DCT €22.358,- BROCHURE

De AT is zo belangrijk voor Honda geworden dat dit model een eigen Honda website heeft gekregen: africa-twin.nl

En er zijn prachtige foto rapportages en filmpjes van de motoren gemaakt. Lekker wegdromen met de beelden van de AT of ATAS en dan toch wel even op het verlanglijstje zetten danwel je spaardoel definiëren.

Cars For Sale: South Africa’s Best 

A bit of a throwback, but herewith are the semi-finalists of the 2019/20 Cars.co.za Consumer Awards – powered by WesBank.

The awards programme recognises the best purchasing propositions in the respective categories of the new vehicle market.

“Vehicle purchases are amongst the biggest that consumers are likely to make in their lifetime,” said Ghana Msibi, executive head of sales and marketing at WesBank.

“Initiatives such as this offer credible opinions on the types of cars and features available in the market, and in so doing help consumers make informed decisions when choosing a new or used vehicle,” he said.

The 13 eventual category winners will be selected from the list of 65 vehicles, which includes model derivatives from 24 brands represented in the South African market.

All vehicles available on the South African market on September 1, 2019, were eligible, not only new products that were launched during the past 12 months.

Compared with the 2018/19 Cars Awards, the executive sedan category has been replaced with one that caters for premium-positioned crossovers.

The former Hot Hatch category (now named Fun Hatch) encompasses more affordable contenders and the price caps for the Premium SUV and Performance Car segments have been raised, it said.

“It is important to note that we analyse market changes proactively and adapt the categories to be better aligned with the South African consumer,” said Cars.co.za consumer experience manager Hannes Oosthuizen.

“With no new contenders in the Executive Sedan category, as well as very poor sales in that segment, we saw it fit to create a new category (to reflect growth and interest in upmarket crossovers) instead.

“Meanwhile there have been no new launches in the traditional hot hatch category, but there has been activity at a lower price point, so we’ve created a new category called Fun Hatch.”

And given the rapidly rising prices of cars for sale in Johannesburg, Oosthuisen said that sticking to a R1-million barrier for Premium SUV and Performance Car categories is no longer practical.

Volkswagen lead the charge in 2019/2020 again.

Even though 24 brands’ vehicles feature in the list of 65, five marques have more than three semi-finalists in the running for category honours.

Volkswagen has the most representatives (8), followed by BMW (6) and Audi, which has 5, although the A1 Sportback 40TFSI S Line is notably a semi-finalist in two separate categories.

Ford (5) and Toyota (4) round out the major manufacturers.

Kawasaki Z 900 2021: nova geração traz mais eletrônica

Depois de apresentar mundialmente o novo modelo naked Z 900 durante o Salão de Milão de 2019, na Itália (que terminou no dia 10 de novembro), a Kawasaki do Brasil, em esforço de sincronia, também mostrou a motocicleta durante o Salão Duas Rodas de 2019, em São Paulo, apenas nove dias depois. Porém, o lançamento oficial no Brasil só foi feito quase uma gestação depois, em julho de 2020, pela internet, seguindo os protocolos da pandemia.

Honda Africa Twin: versões Adventure Sports e Standard

O desembarque nas concessionárias, contudo, vai ser em agosto, já como modelo 2021, com preço sugerido de R$ 47.990. Entretanto, a nova Z 900 incorpora atualizações no visual, que não descaracterizam sua reconhecida identidade, e também no motor, que passa a contar com um extenso pacote eletrônico.

A linha “Z” da Kawasaki nasceu em 1972 com o lançamento do modelo Z1, equipado com o mais potente motor de quatro cilindros em linha da época, que fornecia 82 cv. A moto assombrou o mundo de tal forma que a Kawasaki reeditou o clássico modelo em 2017, agora rebatizado de Z 900 RS (também comercializado no Brasil), com visual semelhante à original, mas com tecnologia atual e exatamente o mesmo conjunto mecânico da Z 900.

Passado quase meio século, os dois modelos, entretanto, seguem caminhos diferentes. A nova Z 900 está em um segmento chamado de super naked, mais esportiva, estilo guerreira urbana, ou “street fighter”

Tecnologias da Kawasaki Z 900

A nova geração da Kawasaki Z 900 ganhou um novo conjunto de iluminação totalmente em LED, com bloco dos faróis mais recortados e agressivos, assim como as aletas laterais do tanque e nova traseira minimalista, dentro do conceito que a marca chama de Sugomi. A lanterna de freio, no entanto, conserva a marca “Z” estilizada que caracteriza os modelos atuais da família.

O painel agora é em tela TFT de 4,3 polegadas (10,9 cm), que pode ter fundo escuro ou branco, e três níveis de luminosidade regulados pelo piloto. Além das funções de praxe, como velocímetro, hodômetros total e parciais, conta-giros, indicador do nível de combustível e de marcha engatada e relógio de horas, conta com o computador de bordo e a luzinha regulável “shift light”, que indica o momento mais apropriado de trocar as marchas.

O painel também pode ser espelhado ao celular, via Bluetooth ou através do aplicativo (da Kawasaki) Rideology. O equipamento acessar o histórico da moto, dados de pilotagem, notificações, navegação, etc, incluindo mapas de acerto para tocadas em track days.

Motor é maior do que parece

Curiosamente, o motor de 948 cm3 é “arredondado” para baixo, com o número 900 em sua designação, quando normalmente as fábricas fazem exatamente o contrário. Os motores de cilindrada menores são “arredondados” para cima, gerando números mais “atraentes”. Com isso, parte em ligeira “vantagem: é uma “900”, com 948 cm3.

O artifício não é determinante, mas, permite que a fábrica rotule seu motor como o mais potente da categoria. Os quatro cilindros em linha entregam 125 cv a 9.500 rpm e um torque de 10,1 kgfm a 7.700 rpm.

A eletrônica, porém, permite um amplo aproveitamento da cavalaria. São três níveis de controle de tração, sendo o nível 1 o menos atuante, que permite uma condução mais esportiva, e o nível 3 mais intrusivo, além da possibilidade de desligar o recurso. A potência também pode ser modulada na posição Low, com 55% da capacidade para pilotagem mais progressiva e Full, com 100% da tropa.

A eletrônica igualmente permite quatro mapas de motor pré-estabelecidos: Sport, Road, Rain e Rider. O modo Rider possibilita combinar livremente os níveis de controle de tração e de potência, inclusive durante a pilotagem, com um seletor no punho esquerdo, personalizando o tipo de tocada.

Câmbio, suspensão e freios da Kawasaki Z 900

O câmbio tem seis marchas, com embreagem assistida e deslizante, o que torna o acionamento mais leve, e as reduções, mais seguras, sem risco de travamento da roda traseira.

A suspensão dianteira é invertida, com tubos de 41 mm de diâmetro e 120 mm de curso, com regulagens na pré-carga, compressão e retorno. A suspensão traseira é do tipo mono, disposta quase horizontalmente, com regulagens na pré-carga e retorno e curso de 140 mm.

O freio dianteiro conta com dois discos estilo margarida de 300 mm com pinça Nissin de quatro pistões. Atrás, um disco de 250 mm com pinça de um pistão, ambos com ABS.

O quadro do tipo diamond, com o motor fazendo parte da estrutura para reduzir peso e aumentar a rigidez, é em tubos de aço com arquitetura em treliça. O peso da Kawasaki  Z 900 já abastecida, pronta para rodar, é de 212 kg.

Depois de apresentar mundialmente o novo modelo naked Z 900 durante o Salão de Milão de 2019, na Itália (que terminou no dia 10 de novembro), a Kawasaki do Brasil, em esforço de sincronia, também mostrou a motocicleta durante o Salão Duas Rodas de 2019, em São Paulo, apenas nove dias depois. Porém, o lançamento oficial no Brasil só foi feito quase uma gestação depois, em julho de 2020, pela internet, seguindo os protocolos da pandemia.

O desembarque nas concessionárias, contudo, vai ser em agosto, já como modelo 2021, com preço sugerido de R$ 47.990. Entretanto, a nova Z 900 incorpora atualizações no visual, que não descaracterizam sua reconhecida identidade, e também no motor, que passa a contar com um extenso pacote eletrônico.

A linha “Z” da Kawasaki nasceu em 1972 com o lançamento do modelo Z1, equipado com o mais potente motor de quatro cilindros em linha da época, que fornecia 82 cv. A moto assombrou o mundo de tal forma que a Kawasaki reeditou o clássico modelo em 2017, agora rebatizado de Z 900 RS (também comercializado no Brasil), com visual semelhante à original, mas com tecnologia atual e exatamente o mesmo conjunto mecânico da Z 900.

Passado quase meio século, os dois modelos, entretanto, seguem caminhos diferentes. A nova Z 900 está em um segmento chamado de super naked, mais esportiva, estilo guerreira urbana, ou “street fighter”

Tecnologias da Kawasaki Z 900

A nova geração da Kawasaki Z 900 ganhou um novo conjunto de iluminação totalmente em LED, com bloco dos faróis mais recortados e agressivos, assim como as aletas laterais do tanque e nova traseira minimalista, dentro do conceito que a marca chama de Sugomi. A lanterna de freio, no entanto, conserva a marca “Z” estilizada que caracteriza os modelos atuais da família.

O painel agora é em tela TFT de 4,3 polegadas (10,9 cm), que pode ter fundo escuro ou branco, e três níveis de luminosidade regulados pelo piloto. Além das funções de praxe, como velocímetro, hodômetros total e parciais, conta-giros, indicador do nível de combustível e de marcha engatada e relógio de horas, conta com o computador de bordo e a luzinha regulável “shift light”, que indica o momento mais apropriado de trocar as marchas.

O painel também pode ser espelhado ao celular, via Bluetooth ou através do aplicativo (da Kawasaki) Rideology. O equipamento acessar o histórico da moto, dados de pilotagem, notificações, navegação, etc, incluindo mapas de acerto para tocadas em track days.

Motor é maior do que parece

Curiosamente, o motor de 948 cm3 é “arredondado” para baixo, com o número 900 em sua designação, quando normalmente as fábricas fazem exatamente o contrário. Os motores de cilindrada menores são “arredondados” para cima, gerando números mais “atraentes”. Com isso, parte em ligeira “vantagem: é uma “900”, com 948 cm3.

O artifício não é determinante, mas, permite que a fábrica rotule seu motor como o mais potente da categoria. Os quatro cilindros em linha entregam 125 cv a 9.500 rpm e um torque de 10,1 kgfm a 7.700 rpm.

A eletrônica, porém, permite um amplo aproveitamento da cavalaria. São três níveis de controle de tração, sendo o nível 1 o menos atuante, que permite uma condução mais esportiva, e o nível 3 mais intrusivo, além da possibilidade de desligar o recurso. A potência também pode ser modulada na posição Low, com 55% da capacidade para pilotagem mais progressiva e Full, com 100% da tropa.

A eletrônica igualmente permite quatro mapas de motor pré-estabelecidos: Sport, Road, Rain e Rider. O modo Rider possibilita combinar livremente os níveis de controle de tração e de potência, inclusive durante a pilotagem, com um seletor no punho esquerdo, personalizando o tipo de tocada.

Câmbio, suspensão e freios da Kawasaki Z 900

O câmbio tem seis marchas, com embreagem assistida e deslizante, o que torna o acionamento mais leve, e as reduções, mais seguras, sem risco de travamento da roda traseira.

A suspensão dianteira é invertida, com tubos de 41 mm de diâmetro e 120 mm de curso, com regulagens na pré-carga, compressão e retorno. A suspensão traseira é do tipo mono, disposta quase horizontalmente, com regulagens na pré-carga e retorno e curso de 140 mm.

O freio dianteiro conta com dois discos estilo margarida de 300 mm com pinça Nissin de quatro pistões. Atrás, um disco de 250 mm com pinça de um pistão, ambos com ABS.

O quadro do tipo diamond, com o motor fazendo parte da estrutura para reduzir peso e aumentar a rigidez, é em tubos de aço com arquitetura em treliça. O peso da Kawasaki  Z 900 já abastecida, pronta para rodar, é de 212 kg.
