Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018
La nouvelle Africa Twin est arrivée exactement comme les fans l'attendaient : Bien contrôlable, peu nerveuse et une excellente compagne de voyage. Le fait qu'elle soit également extrêmement réussie sur le plan esthétique était un bonus agréable. Il n'y a donc pas de raison de changer radicalement l'Africa Twin, ce qui était bon reste bon pour la nouvelle - et beaucoup de choses ont été améliorées. Grâce à Ride by Wire, on bénéficie désormais aussi sur l'Africa Twin de modes de puissance, le contrôle de traction peut être réglé sur 7 niveaux (au lieu de 3 auparavant) et désactivé. La DCT en option est toujours une grande réussite et procure beaucoup de plaisir, mais elle coûte aussi beaucoup.
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.
