Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW F 850 GS Adventure 2019

Bourrée de caractéristiques techniques et d'équipements supplémentaires, la "petite" Adventure est un appareil high-tech. Les nombreuses fonctions fonctionnent bien, ce sont surtout le châssis électronique et le fonctionnement soyeux du moteur qui enthousiasment nos testeurs. L'origine asiatique du moteur ne se remarque pas. Le réservoir plus grand de la version Adventure et tous les accessoires font grimper le poids et le prix de manière significative. Avec ses 244 kg, la BMW F 850 GS Adventure est déjà un gros morceau, ce qui ne plaît pas à tout le monde. Mais l'ergonomie est au top et la position de conduite dans le large carénage donne un sentiment de sécurité et de protection.
Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2019

La cruiser parmi les enduros de voyage rayonne de confort et de souveraineté. Son moteur V2 tonitruant se laisse bien conduire et pardonne. Le châssis et les freins fonctionnent également bien. Elle ne convient pas plus aux situations extrêmes en off-road qu'aux mains des traîneurs de genoux notoires. La Moto Guzzi V 85 TT aime faire des tours de piste cultivés et confortables, et elle offre également suffisamment de confort pratique pour les longs trajets grâce à sa transmission par cardan et son ergonomie. De plus, elle a un look sensationnel et transmet des émotions. Seuls quelques chevaux de plus que ses 80 ch seraient les bienvenus pour certains de nos testeurs.
