The CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports shares the frame and engine of the more off-road focussed CRF1100L Africa Twin but has a role very much of its own: to offer riders real continent-crossing long-haul ability and practicality both on- and off-road.

For strong acceleration, especially for when two-up and fully loaded, the 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine produces peak torque of 112Nm with peak power of 75kW.
