Overview
The Honda CRF 1000L AFRICA TWIN DCT is an Adventure Motorcycle from the 2017 model year. Its 998.0 cm³ liquid-cooled, four-stroke parallel twin produces 95 hp (71 kW) and 98.0 Nm at 6,000 rpm, while wet weight is 229.9 kg.
The automatic DCT transmission handles gear changes without a manual clutch lever. The 871 mm seat height puts the rider high above the ground, and the 229.9 kg wet weight calls for deliberate handling at walking pace. Switchable ABS lets the rider turn off ABS when desired; the front brakes use dual 310 mm discs and the rear uses a 256 mm disc.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Automatic DCT
The automatic transmission takes manual clutch operation and gear changes out of the rider's hands.
Switchable ABS
ABS can be switched off when the rider wants more control over wheel lock.
Strong torque
The parallel twin's 98.0 Nm peak at 6,000 rpm gives it substantial pulling force.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 871 mm, the seat can make it harder for shorter riders to reach the ground securely.
Substantial wet weight
The 229.9 kg wet weight takes more effort to maneuver at low speeds.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
