Em suma, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, com capacidade para longas distâncias, foi concebida para uma viagem a dois, em que o condutor quase nunca tem de pensar para onde vai. Gosta de secções de autoestrada, passagens rápidas em estradas rurais ou passagens sinuosas de montanha nas curvas mais apertadas, tanto como de estradas não pavimentadas com a ocasional secção de gravilha áspera, onde é principalmente o condutor ou a sua rotina que decidem até onde podem ir. A maneabilidade, que foi melhorada em comparação com a antecessora devido ao depósito mais baixo (e, portanto, ao centro de gravidade), também marca pontos aqui. O chassis eletrónico lida perfeitamente com as superfícies variáveis de uma viagem e transmite sempre transparência, a soberania do motor em todas as situações. Pronto para a corrida - ou também: Pronto para corridas de longa distância!
Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2022

A Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE está mais do que equipada para a grande viagem: As muitas características combinam-se, porque tudo o que é bom na SE tem como objetivo o conforto e a segurança. Quer se trate da suspensão eletrónica semi-ativa Skyhook da Showa, do ABS para curvas KIBS, da Função de Gestão de Curvas Kawasaki (KMCF), das luzes de curva ou do ecrã a cores TFT de fácil leitura, a eletrónica não deixa nada a desejar. Juntamente com a posição de assento confortável e o para-brisas alto e ajustável, as etapas longas são um prazer. O motor não é certamente o mais potente, o peso não é certamente o mais baixo, mas no geral a Versys 1000 SE é uma óptima moto de turismo.
