Pros and Cons in comparison
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.

La Tiger 800 XC ne me plaît pas seulement sur la route pour mes trajets quotidiens vers le travail. C'est un véhicule très simple qui, grâce à son moteur puissant et pétillant, est non seulement très utile mais aussi très amusant. Sur la piste de course, je n'utilisais le véhicule que pour mes activités d'instructeur. Mais je n'ai pas pu m'en empêcher et j'ai dû prendre la piste dans le groupe le plus rapide. Le châssis de haute qualité et le moteur agile m'ont également procuré du plaisir et la Tiger 800 XC est pour moi LE talent universel par excellence.
