Avec aucun autre bigenduro, il n'est possible de rouler aussi fort au niveau des genoux et de se retrouver ainsi très loin sur la grille de départ. Ceux qui se sentent souvent agressés sur la route des vacances devraient riposter avec la Versys 1000. Ce qui prouve que bigenduro et quatre cylindres sont compatibles.
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.
