Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2019
L'arme polyvalente de Bavière, qui supporte sans problème les sorties off-road les plus ambitieuses. Grâce à un débattement supplémentaire de 2 centimètres et à 10 litres de carburant en plus dans le réservoir, aucun tour n'est trop loin et aucun défi trop grand pour elle. Le centre de gravité relativement bas aide à la maniabilité et le moteur plus puissant la rapproche beaucoup plus de la R 1250 GS normale en termes de dynamique de conduite. Dans la nouvelle génération de modèles 1250, elle offre non seulement un moteur retravaillé qui apporte une conduite encore meilleure, mais aussi un plus en matière d'équipement de série et de sécurité. Mais le concurrent le plus redoutable pour l'Adventure se cache malgré tout dans sa propre maison, car même la GS traditionnelle, moins chère, est déjà un talent universel raffiné.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018
La nouvelle Africa Twin est arrivée exactement comme les fans l'attendaient : Bien contrôlable, peu nerveuse et une excellente compagne de voyage. Le fait qu'elle soit également extrêmement réussie sur le plan esthétique était un bonus agréable. Il n'y a donc pas de raison de changer radicalement l'Africa Twin, ce qui était bon reste bon pour la nouvelle - et beaucoup de choses ont été améliorées. Grâce à Ride by Wire, on bénéficie désormais aussi sur l'Africa Twin de modes de puissance, le contrôle de traction peut être réglé sur 7 niveaux (au lieu de 3 auparavant) et désactivé. La DCT en option est toujours une grande réussite et procure beaucoup de plaisir, mais elle coûte aussi beaucoup.
