KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2016

Com um generoso equipamento de série, um motor reequipado e um design inconfundivelmente arrojado da KTM, a 1290 Super Duke GT pretende entrar no segmento das motos de turismo desportivas. Com um desempenho fácil de pilotar e a potência total da moto naked no espírito do credo "Ready-to-Race", ela se destaca da concorrência não apenas visualmente. Os fanáticos das motos desportivas de Mattighofen até instalaram punhos aquecidos e cruise control para oferecer aos condutores frequentes um local agradável. De alguma forma, conseguem manter-se credíveis e desencadear tempestades de entusiasmo no condutor.
BMW S 1000 XR 2015

A BMW S 1000 XR cumpre muito bem a sua função de máquina de turismo desportiva. Os 160 cv e os 228 quilos prontos a rodar já sugerem uma condução ágil, mas no selim é ainda melhor. Tal como a pesada naked S 1000 R, a XR não pode negar o seu parentesco com a superbike S 1000 R. A isto junta-se uma posição de condução impecavelmente confortável e um guiador largo que faz com que seja um prazer passar por curvas apertadas. A eletrónica inspira confiança sem restrições e os travões podem ser aplicados como se estivessem numa super moto desportiva. Apenas o ruído estridente do escape de quatro cilindros e as vibrações na gama média não se adequam a uma tourer. Caso contrário, a S 1000 XR é completamente convincente.
