Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 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.
BMW R 1200 GS 2017
Depuis plus de 35 ans, BMW continue d'élargir sa gamme de boxers et travaille systématiquement à l'évolution de la GS. En plus de la mise à jour EURO4 du moteur avec un nouveau catalyseur et une nouvelle cartographie, il y a désormais encore plus de caractéristiques comme le Dynamic ESA Next Generation avec compensation automatique de l'assiette, qui améliore encore la stabilité et le confort du pilote. Avec ses couleurs discrètes, la version Exclusive est destinée aux amateurs d'une apparence soignée et feutrée et, contrairement à la variante Rallye plus criarde, elle est plutôt conçue pour la route. De nombreuses caractéristiques sont payantes, mais les clients de la GS ne s'en soucient généralement pas - 90% d'entre eux commandent un équipement complet.
