Deciding between the Honda Africa
Deciding between the Honda Africa Twin and Yamaha Tenere 700 can be tough. Both are phenomenal adventure motorcycles, but each excels in different areas. In this video I discuss my thoughts and opinions on these two excellent ADV bikes, based on my own riding style, skill level, and personal preferences. In different hands, these bikes would behave very differently and so ultimately the decision on which one to get is a very personal one.
I've created several videos that digs into the details of both bikes individually, check the links below for more:

The Africa Twin is great for longer trips with mixed highway and side roads, with modest gravel mixed in. I really love the grunt power and stability the Africa Twin has, which makes shifting often times optional and can easily plow through a headwind. When it first came out the Africa Twin was an excellent alternative to the heavy and complex BMW 1200 and 1250 series GS and GSA bikes.
But when the riding gets more adventurous and I want to see where the path less traveled takes me - I go to the Yamaha Tenere 700. For me, the lighter motorcycle and nimble feel gives me the confidence to explore further. And it has plenty of power and agility for a person of my size and skill level to tackle mountain roads, modest trails, and the occasional long grind on the freeway to get to from A to B.
Either way, you can't go wrong with either of these two ADV bikes. Which one you ultimately select, is a personal choice I leave to you.
