Honda CRF1000/1100A/D

Honda CRF1000/1100A/D is a large adventure motorcycle family built for riders who want long-distance road work with real dirt-road capability hanging in reserve. Its real strength is the combination of upright comfort, weather protection, and the kind of chassis and electronics that make a heavy bike feel usable on mixed routes. By our assessment, the trade-off is weight and complexity: once a machine grows into this class, low-speed handling, maintenance, and moving it around a garage become part of the story. In practice the appeal is a bike that can cross town, cruise highways, and still look ready for a rough track when the road ends. Compared with lighter dual-sport machines, Honda CRF1000/1100A/D sits on the more serious touring side of the adventure scale. It suits riders who want one motorcycle for many miles and many surfaces, and less those who want a simple, featherweight trail bike.
