Honda's Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES leans into on-road comfort and touring features rather than raw off-road capability. Its 1,084cc parallel-twin makes 110.5hp, paired with Showa electronic suspension and a 6.5-inch TFT, starting at $17,799 - add $800 for the DCT automatic.

The spec sheet shows 110.5hp, 7-level traction control, and Showa EERA electronic suspension, yet the whole concept trades away off-road ability for comfort features - that's a real change in direction from the old bike, and that's the good part.

That 6.5-inch CarPlay touchscreen sounds genuinely nice to have.

$17,799 plus $800 for the DCT feels like a fair price.

110.5hp at 7,500rpm from 1,084cc is more modest than I expected.

Calling it an adventure bike while ditching off-road ability feels off.

Still, 110hp with the DCT option sounds ideal for long tours.
