BMW R 1200 GS 2017

Již více než 35 let BMW neustále rozšiřuje řadu boxerů a neustále pracuje na vývoji modelu GS. Kromě aktualizace motoru EURO4 s novým katalyzátorem a mapováním je nyní k dispozici ještě více funkcí, jako je například Dynamic ESA Next Generation s automatickou kompenzací jízdní polohy, která dále zlepšuje stabilitu a komfort jezdce. Verze Exclusive s decentním barevným provedením je určena pro přátele uhlazeného a decentního vzhledu a na rozdíl od honosnější varianty Rallye je určena spíše na silnici. Řada prvků je za příplatek, ale zákazníkům GS to obvykle nevadí - 90 % z nich si objednává plnou výbavu.
Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2014

Tiger 800 XC se mi líbí nejen na silnici při každodenním dojíždění do práce. Je to velmi nekomplikované vozidlo, které je díky výkonnému a živému motoru nejen velmi užitečné, ale také zábavné. Na závodní dráze jsem vozidlo používal vlastně jen pro svou práci instruktora. Ale nemohl jsem si pomoci a musel jsem se jednou vydat na trať v rychlejší skupině. S kvalitním podvozkem a svižným motorem byla radost jezdit a Tiger 800 XC je pro mě univerzální talent par excellence.
