Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Continua a ser sensacional. A Honda tem as suas virtudes familiares, mas nunca se torna obsoleta. Uma moto que o acompanha em todos os momentos e não se cansa mesmo em viagens muito longas. Muito robusta em todo-o-terreno, também lida com passagens muito difíceis sem qualquer problema. Continua a ser a referência para as enduros de turismo em 2017.
KTM 1090 Adventure 2017

A KTM 1090 Adventure é um grande passo da sua antecessora, a 1050 Adventure, em direção às suas irmãs maiores. O pacote eletrónico com modos de condução ajustáveis, controlo de tração e ABS mantém-se no nível já elevado, mas o motor tem agora 125 cv, cerca de um terço (!) mais do que a 1050. Mais importante ainda, agora pode acelerar livremente até mais de 10.000 rpm e, portanto, oferece uma faixa de rotação mais utilizável. Dificilmente encontrará uma moto mais equilibrada na classe das grandes enduros de turismo, ainda com preços razoáveis.
