BMW F 850 GS 2018

No entanto, isto também faz aumentar o preço.
Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2023

É espantoso o quanto uma mota prática e sem agitação, como a Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, nos pode conquistar. Provavelmente é precisamente devido a este design inteligente com características electrónicas geríveis que podem ser ajustadas de forma óptima às necessidades pessoais. Graças ao excelente sistema ride-by-wire, o motor parece mais potente na gama baixa do que a cilindrada sugere e faz tudo bem tanto em estrada como fora de estrada. Com 220 milímetros de curso de suspensão à frente e atrás, o chassis está realmente bem afinado para o todo-o-terreno, mas também oferece uma clara vantagem aos condutores de estrada em estradas más. A ergonomia é boa, mas os condutores mais altos devem considerar o assento opcional mais alto, devido ao ângulo um pouco agudo dos joelhos.
