Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Triumph Tiger Explorer 2012
La Tiger Explorer pourrait tout aussi bien venir de Bavière. Seules les roues en fonte au lieu des rayons en fil de fer permettent aux Anglais de suivre leur propre voie, qui passe nettement plus par l'asphalte que par la terre. Pour le reste, il faut dire que le moteur est convaincant, mais que les freins le sont moins.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015
La 1290 Super Adventure est présentée par KTM, à juste titre, comme le fleuron de l'aventure. Bourrée d'électronique sophistiquée et de presque tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin dans une moto d'aventure de grande taille, elle est recommandée, comme on pouvait s'y attendre, pour les longs voyages. Ce que l'on ne voit pas tout de suite avec son apparence massive, c'est que la Super Adventure est, comme ses sœurs 1190, une machine incroyablement amusante. C'est surtout dans les épingles étroites qu'elle procure un plaisir incroyable. L'électronique règle la traction, le châssis et la gestion du moteur de manière si discrète que l'on peut se concentrer entièrement et surtout en toute sécurité sur l'accélération. Dans les lignes droites intermédiaires, la puissance de 160 ch permet à la 1290 Super Adventure de répondre à des exigences sportives et d'être ainsi très universelle.
