Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018

A nova Africa Twin veio exatamente como os fãs esperavam: Bem controlável, sem agitação e uma óptima companheira de viagem. O facto de também ter um aspeto extremamente bonito foi um bónus agradável. Portanto, não há razão para mudar fundamentalmente a Africa Twin, o que era bom continua bom na nova - e muito foi melhorado. Graças ao Ride by Wire, agora também é possível desfrutar dos modos de desempenho na Africa Twin, e o controlo de tração pode ser ajustado 7 vezes (em vez de 3 vezes anteriormente) e desligado. O DCT opcional continua a ser um grande sucesso e muito divertido, mas também custa muito.
Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition 2023

O modelo básico da Husqvarna Norden já tem muito para oferecer, mas a nova "Expedition" consegue ir ainda mais longe com o seu chassis melhorado e equipamento adicional. É tão versátil como um canivete suíço. Não há praticamente nenhuma tarefa que não esteja à altura. Preciso e desportivo na estrada, e igualmente robusto e confiante fora de estrada. Uma verdadeira máquina de fazer tudo! Tendo em conta o extenso equipamento adicional, o preço parece estar em ordem em comparação com o North básico. Tendo em vista a ainda mais desportiva KTM 890 Adventure R, é de notar que a Husqvarna também se mantém um pouco mais fiel à ideia de conforto com a Expedition.
