The world remembers old bikes fondly, sometimes so fondly it's questionable. Browse a comments section on any social platform and you'll find a handful of comments about 990 KTM's and Africa Twins being better. So we started a series called Retro vs Modern, to explore that exact idea.

Are the old bikes better? Are the new bikes too big and heavy or is the whole world wrong?

For our first episode we started with the most iconic of Japanese adventure machines, the Africa Twin. The first generation was so loved it sparked a huge run of sales of the new generation upon launch. The new CRF1000L sold like hot cakes however, a fair few people grumbled that it was the off-road conquering bike they wanted, "it wasn't true to the old bike".

The only way to see if that's true is to ride them, back to back and see how they fair. So we did and this is the end product.
