Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1050 Adventure 2015
La KTM 1050 Adventure reprend là où les aventures 990 s'étaient arrêtées il y a quelques années : Une puissance d'environ 100 ch, une maniabilité ludique et autant ou aussi peu d'électronique que l'état de l'art actuel. Le moteur est en effet tout sauf lent, l'ABS et le contrôle de traction règlent de manière sûre et discrète et la performance de conduite est extrêmement orientée vers le plaisir, notamment en raison des pneus relativement étroits. Et tout cela à un prix qui, dans la ligue des grands enduros de voyage, n'est battu que par quelques concurrents. Aussi triste que cela puisse paraître, les deux aventures 1190 et surtout le fleuron 1290 Super Adventure ont atteint des sommets en matière de prix. C'est pourquoi la KTM 1050 Adventure est peut-être même le modèle le plus cohérent des quatre Adventure.
BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2015
En tant que fournisseur le plus performant de motos de tourisme de grand volume, BMW a établi depuis des années la grande R 1200 GS Adventure comme la moto de voyage longue distance par excellence. S'appuyant sur le caractère dynamique de la R 1200 GS traditionnelle ainsi que sur sa grande compétence en matière de tout-terrain et de tourisme, l'Adventure représente la solution maximale pour les amateurs de tourisme tout-terrain. Avec son carénage imposant et son réservoir de 30 litres, le moteur de 125 ch a certes plus de choses à traîner, mais un haut niveau d'agilité est tout de même conservé. Rien n'est épargné au niveau des caractéristiques / options, la grande Adventure sort le grand jeu : ABS de série, contrôle automatique de la stabilité ASC (Automatic Stability Control) ainsi que deux modes de conduite "Rain" et "Road" sont de série.
