BMW R 1200 GS 2015

GS je doma téměř všude - ale jen v omezené míře na závodní dráze. Je radost cítit sílu částečně vodou chlazeného boxerového dvouválce na výjezdu ze zatáčky - 125 koní se jen na papíře zdá mnohem slabších než 150 nebo dokonce 160 koní u konkurence. S točivým momentem 125 newtonmetrů je zrychlení odspodu i tak vynikající a GS s hmotností 238 kg připravené k jízdě nenese přes svůj objemný vzhled příliš mnoho špeku. Ve velmi ostrých zatáčkách se pozitivně projevuje i nízko položené těžiště - BMW R 1200 GS je velmi těžké rozlousknout! Dokonce i přední teleleverové odpružení, které potlačuje tendenci předního kola zapadat při brzdění, dokonale zapadá do celkového balíčku GS a může jen mírně ubírat na jeho sportovním charakteru.
KTM 1190 Adventure 2016

KTM 1190 Adventure je naprosto všestranný motocykl, neexistuje požadavek, který by nesplňoval: Kombinuje sportovní, cestovní, horské průsmyky i jízdu v terénu. S málokterým jiným "všestranným" motocyklem je tak rychlá - i na závodní trati si 1190 Adventure se svými 150 koňmi pěkně řízne. Je to nepřekonatelný vrchař, zejména na úzkých horských silnicích, ale také příjemný společník na každodenní jízdu do práce. Součástí výbavy je také rozsáhlý balíček elektroniky s nastavitelnými režimy výkonu, kontrolou trakce a na palubě nechybí ani ABS pro náklon.
