BMW R 1250 GS 2021

A GS também nos impressionou com a sua versatilidade durante o teste em novembro de 2021. Conduzimos a moto numa grande variedade de terrenos e ficámos mais uma vez muito satisfeitos. A moto convence em todas as situações com seu fácil manuseio e praticidade. Por outro lado, também pode ser montado deliciosamente irracionalmente.
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.
