Does the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin fit you?
The Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin (2016–2019) has a 851 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 85 cm — roughly 181 cm (5'11") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 79 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin.
Riding position
As a adventure motorcycle, the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin puts you in a tall, commanding upright position. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin best for?
The Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin is best suited to mixed tarmac and light off-road, touring, and tall riders who want a commanding view.
Braking & stopping distance
At 232 kg wet plus a rider, a hard stop from 100 km/h on dry tarmac takes roughly 39 m (about 1.00 g). Stopping distance is grip-limited, so it is set far more by tyres and road surface than by the bike or rider weight.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
