La Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin a été introduite en 2020 en tant que successeur de la CRF1000L, avec un moteur bicylindre parallèle plus gros de 1 084 cm3 et des améliorations importantes apportées à l'électronique et à l'ergonomie. La variante Adventure Sports s'appuie sur le modèle standard avec un réservoir de carburant plus grand, un débattement de suspension plus long et des aides électroniques à la conduite plus avancées, répondant aux exigences des voyages d'aventure sur de longues distances. Il perpétue l'héritage de Honda qui remonte au XRV650 Africa Twin original de 1988, inspiré par la domination de Honda au Rallye Paris-Dakar.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
DCT Transmission Option
The Africa Twin Adventure Sports offers Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) as an option — a rare feature in adventure bikes that provides smoother off-road control and reduced rider fatigue on long hauls.
Strong Resale Value
Honda Africa Twins consistently hold 70-80% of their value after two years, outperforming many competitors, making them a smart long-term investment in the adventure segment.
Watch the Electronics
Some owners report early throttle-by-wire glitches and touchscreen connectivity issues on 2020-2022 models — always check for updated software and test all electronic rider aids before buying used.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The most competent used ADV under ten grand, period."
$9,000-$13,500 usedThe Africa Twin Adventure Sports is Honda's most serious attempt at a true do-everything ADV, and used examples represent genuinely strong value right now. The 1084cc parallel-twin is bulletproof if serviced correctly — check for the full Honda service history and specifically ask about the DCT fluid changes if you're buying the automatic version, because neglected units get expensive fast. The suspension is properly adjustable and the 21-inch front wheel means it actually handles dirt rather than just looking like it might. Living with one daily, you notice the weight. At 238kg wet, this isn't a bike you'll be picking up solo on a hillside without a strategy. The windscreen buffeting on the standard touring screen is genuinely annoying at motorway speeds until you sort it with an aftermarket unit. Electronics package is excellent — cornering ABS, multiple riding modes, wheelie control — all well-sorted and actually useful rather than gimmicky. Used prices have softened nicely since 2022. Earlier 2020-2021 models occasionally show minor electrical gremlins around the TFT display connectors. Not a dealbreaker, just inspect carefully.
