KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2016

Avec un équipement de série généreux, un moteur réajusté et un design KTM aux angles reconnaissables, la 1290 Super Duke GT veut entrer dans le segment du Sport Touring. Avec des performances roulantes et la pleine puissance de la moto naked dans l'esprit du credo "Ready-to-Race", elle ne se distingue pas seulement visuellement de ses concurrentes. Les fanatiques de sport de mattighofen montent même des poignées chauffantes et un régulateur de vitesse afin d'offrir une belle place aux gros rouleurs. D'une manière ou d'une autre, ils parviennent malgré tout à rester crédibles et à déclencher des tempêtes d'enthousiasme chez le pilote.
BMW S 1000 XR 2017

Avec son moteur Supersport qui développe désormais 165 ch, associé à la géométrie et au confort d'une Bigenduro, la S 1000 XR fait partie des motos les plus rapides sur la voie publique. La vaste gamme d'accessoires la rend encore plus rapide ou plus confortable, selon les besoins. Avec une hauteur de selle de 840 mm et un entrejambe long, elle est toutefois peu adaptée aux pilotes de petite taille. La selle de 790 mm de haut y remédie toutefois. Les freins sont aussi puissants que le moteur, la XR convainc par sa précision et surtout sa stabilité. Malgré une performance folle, on se sent bien et en sécurité, comme on l'attend d'une BMW.
