BMW F 850 GS 2018
On ne le voit peut-être pas au premier coup d'œil, mais la nouvelle BMW F 850 GS est en fait une construction entièrement nouvelle. Le châssis en acier et la transmission ont été modifiés, le moteur a été agrandi à 853 cubiques et conçu de manière encore plus puissante avec un déport de 90 degrés des manetons. La nouvelle F 850 GS se présente ainsi plus souveraine qu'excitée et convainc aussi bien sur la route qu'en off-road. La particularité de la BMW est la possibilité de la configurer exactement en fonction de ses besoins personnels grâce à une vaste gamme d'accessoires - il n'y a en fait aucune caractéristique actuellement disponible que l'on ne puisse obtenir sur sa F 850 GS. Mais cela fait aussi grimper le prix.
BMW R 1200 GS 2015
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'intègre parfaitement à l'ensemble de la GS et ne peut que légèrement atténuer son caractère sportif.
