KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

KTM 1090 Adventure je velkým krokem od svého předchůdce, modelu 1050 Adventure, směrem k jeho větším sestrám. Balíček elektroniky s nastavitelnými jízdními režimy, kontrolou trakce a ABS zůstává na již tak vysoké úrovni, ale motor má nyní 125 koní, což je přibližně o třetinu (!) více než u modelu 1050. Téměř ještě důležitější je, že nyní může volně točit až přes 10 000 otáček za minutu, a nabízí tak použitelnější pásmo otáček. Ve třídě stále ještě cenově dostupných velkých cestovních endur budete jen těžko hledat vyváženější motocykl.
BMW F 850 GS 2018

Na první pohled to na novém BMW F 850 GS není vidět, ale skutečně se jedná o zcela nový design. Změnil se ocelový podvozek i hnací ústrojí, motor byl zvětšen na 853 cm3 a díky 90stupňovému posunu klikového čepu je navržen tak, aby byl ještě výkonnější. Díky tomu se nový F 850 GS prezentuje suverénněji než nadšeně a je přesvědčivý jak na silnici, tak v terénu. Velmi výjimečná je možnost přizpůsobit si BMW přesně svým osobním potřebám díky rozsáhlé nabídce příslušenství - v současné době vlastně neexistuje prvek, který byste si na F 850 GS nemohli pořídit. To však také zvyšuje cenu.
