KTM 790 Adventure 2019

La KTM est à mes yeux la plus sportive de toutes les motos de voyage de classe moyenne. Celui qui est à la recherche d'une moto de tourisme qui maîtrise brutalement la vitesse sur route et off-road, trouvera ici son bonheur. Mais en même temps, le châssis et le moteur offrent suffisamment de confort et de bonnes manières pour ne pas rendre le pilote fou, même sur de longues étapes de liaison.
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2020

L'Africa Twin est pour moi une moto d'aventure comme une moto d'aventure doit l'être. C'était déjà le cas pour le modèle précédent et cela n'a pas changé avec l'augmentation de la cylindrée et de la puissance. D'une part, parce que la puissance de 102 ch est restée raisonnable et que Honda a même réussi à perdre quelques kilos par rapport à la CRF1000L. Il lui restait donc la polyvalence, elle fonctionne aussi bien sur l'autoroute qu'en off-road. Le châssis absorbe presque toutes les irrégularités, le moteur reste souverain dans toutes les situations, l'ergonomie et le confort d'assise sont exemplaires. Une moto pour tous les jours, mais aussi pour les grands voyages - quelle que soit la destination.
