Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
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.
KTM 1190 Adventure 2016
La KTM 1190 Adventure est un talent universel absolu, aucune exigence qu'elle ne remplisse pas : Elle concilie sport, voyage, cols et off-road. Il n'y a guère d'autres motos "à tout faire" qui permettent d'aller aussi vite - même sur les pistes de course, la 1190 Adventure fait bonne figure avec ses 150 CV. Particulièrement imbattable sur les routes de montagne étroites, elle est également un compagnon agréable pour les trajets quotidiens vers le travail. Elle est également accompagnée d'un pack électronique complet avec des modes de puissance réglables, un contrôle de traction et même un ABS en cas d'inclinaison.
