Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1050 Adventure 2016
La KTM 1050 Adventure reprend à mon avis là où les aventures 990 s'étaient arrêtées il y a quelques années : Une puissance d'environ 100 ch, une maniabilité ludique et autant ou aussi peu d'électronique que l'état de l'art actuel. Le moteur est en effet tout sauf lent, l'ABS et le contrôle de traction règlent de manière sûre et discrète et la performance de conduite est extrêmement orientée vers le plaisir, notamment en raison des pneus relativement étroits. Et tout cela à un prix qui, dans la ligue des grands enduros de voyage, n'est battu que par quelques concurrents. Aussi triste que cela puisse paraître, les deux aventures 1190 et surtout le fleuron 1290 Super Adventure ont atteint des sommets en matière de prix. C'est pourquoi la KTM 1050 Adventure est peut-être même le modèle le plus cohérent des quatre Adventure.
BMW R 1250 GS 2020
La BMW R 1250 GS est l'évolution logique de la R 1200 GS - logique surtout parce qu'on ne peut pas s'attendre à ce qu'une moto aussi populaire soit radicalement modifiée. En conséquence, le design est modifié avec précaution et les options connues sont conservées pour le châssis et l'électronique. Le nouveau nom R 1250 GS promet cependant un nouveau moteur - et il a effectivement de quoi faire ! 136 ch à 7750 tours et pas moins de 143 newtons-mètres de couple maximal à 6250 tours, c'est une véritable bombe ! BMW rénove ainsi presque parfaitement la grande GS : elle reste clairement identifiable, dispose d'un peu plus d'électronique de série, d'une liste de prix supplémentaires toujours aussi longue (que la clientèle aime cocher de A à Z) et d'un moteur encore plus performant et souverain - que peut-on demander de plus ?
