BMW R 1250 GS 2019

A BMW R 1250 GS é o desenvolvimento lógico da R 1200 GS - lógico sobretudo porque não se deve esperar que uma moto tão popular seja radicalmente alterada. Assim, o design foi alterado com cautela, e as opções familiares para o chassis e eletrónica foram mantidas. O novo nome R 1250 GS, no entanto, promete um novo motor - e é realmente algo! 136 cv às 7750 rpm e uns impressionantes 143 Newton metros de binário máximo às 6250 rpm são uma explosão absoluta! Assim, a BMW renovou a grande GS quase na perfeição: continua a ser claramente reconhecível, tem um pouco mais de eletrónica de série, uma lista ainda longa de sobretaxas (que os clientes gostam de assinalar de A a Z) e um motor agora ainda melhor e mais soberano - que mais se pode querer?

Para muitos, a nova Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports é a verdadeira Africa Twin, que, com um tanque maior, maior viagem de suspensão e para-brisa mais alto, leva a longa jornada ainda mais a sério do que a Africa Twin normal já faz. O chassis funciona como uma maca, a posição do assento permite centenas de quilómetros de distância - de acordo com a Honda 525 com um depósito de combustível. No entanto, a agilidade e a manobrabilidade da Africa Twin normal sofrem. Com a aparência mais atraente da Adventure Sports, a Honda acertou novamente no alvo: não há atualmente nenhuma moto de aventura mais bonita.
