BMW R 1200 GS 2015

Uma GS sente-se em casa em quase todo o lado - mas apenas de forma limitada na pista de corridas. É um prazer sentir a potência do bicilindro boxer parcialmente arrefecido a água à saída da curva - 125 cv só no papel parecem muito mais fracos do que os 150 ou mesmo 160 cv da concorrência. Com 125 Newton metros de binário, a aceleração a partir do fundo é soberba e a GS, com 238 quilos pronta a conduzir, não carrega demasiada flacidez apesar da sua aparência volumosa. Em curvas muito apertadas, o baixo centro de gravidade também tem um efeito positivo - a BMW R 1200 GS é muito difícil de quebrar! Mesmo a suspensão dianteira com telelever, que suprime a tendência da roda dianteira para afundar durante a travagem, encaixa-se perfeitamente no pacote geral da GS e só pode diminuir ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.

A nova Africa Twin é uma digna sucessora de uma lenda. Parece soberana, indestrutível e fiável. Desperta o espírito aventureiro no condutor e não terá certamente uma existência indigna na garagem do proprietário. Está posicionada e configurada corretamente e pode fazer tudo o que uma Africa Twin tem de fazer. Surpresa: As características de alta tecnologia também são boas em todo-o-terreno.
