Result

The new Africa Twin is a strong piece of motorcycle! The Adventure Sports has been trimmed even more for road and is now one of the ultimate adventure bikes for the trip to the North Cape. It is technically fully equipped and, apart from the performance, clearly belongs to the upper class. The only points of criticism are the fiddly operation and the somewhat heavy weight, which many competitors also have to struggle with. Otherwise, a super cool machine with majestic charisma and just as much riding feeling - terrific!
 
The test bike was once again provided to us by motofun (www.motofun.de) from Kaltenkirchen north of Hamburg. There, Adventure Sports and Standard AT will be available as demonstrators. Test drives there in the Schmalfeld curves are a real pleasure - let's go to motofun and salute the boss Nico!
