Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2016
Une GS est à l'aise presque partout - mais sur la piste de course, elle ne l'est que dans une certaine mesure. C'est un plaisir de ressentir la puissance du bicylindre boxer partiellement refroidi par eau à la sortie des virages - 125 ch ne semblent que sur le papier beaucoup plus faibles que 150 ou même 160 ch chez la concurrence. Avec un couple de 125 Newton-mètres, l'attaque par le bas est de toute façon magnifique et la GS, avec ses 238 kilos prête à rouler, ne traîne pas trop de poids malgré son allure imposante. Dans les virages très serrés, le centre de gravité bas a un effet positif - la BMW R 1200 GS est très difficile à casser ! Même la suspension avant Telelever, qui supprime le tangage de la roue avant lors du freinage, s'adapte parfaitement à l'ensemble de la GS et ne peut que légèrement atténuer son caractère sportif.
BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2017
En tant que l'une des 5 R nineT différentes, l'Urban G/S est également une variation réussie du boxer refroidi par air qui, comme dans les autres modèles, développe 110 ch et ne laisse rien à désirer en matière de puissance. De même, les freins sont du même niveau que ceux de l'Ur-R nineT, seul le châssis doit être revu à la baisse. L'ABS est de série, l'ASC est payant. Il n'en faut pas beaucoup plus pour être heureux. Il n'y a que les jantes à rayons métalliques dont nous ne voudrions pas nous passer, car avec le TKC80, elles complètent le look.
