Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2015

Uma GS sente-se em casa em quase todo o lado - mas apenas de forma limitada na pista de corridas. É um prazer sentir a potência do bicilindro boxer parcialmente arrefecido a água à saída da curva - 125 cv só no papel parecem muito mais fracos do que os 150 ou mesmo 160 cv da concorrência. Com 125 Newton metros de binário, a aceleração a partir do fundo é soberba e a GS, com 238 quilos pronta a conduzir, não carrega demasiada flacidez apesar da sua aparência volumosa. Em curvas muito apertadas, o baixo centro de gravidade também tem um efeito positivo - a BMW R 1200 GS é muito difícil de quebrar! Mesmo a suspensão dianteira com telelever, que suprime a tendência da roda dianteira para afundar durante a travagem, encaixa-se perfeitamente no pacote geral da GS e só pode diminuir ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2018

Aquilo em que a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 já era muito boa antes, a nova V-Strom 1000 também é muito boa: uma moto bem equilibrada que não se esquiva a um estilo de condução desportivo com boa capacidade para longas distâncias. A isto juntam-se características modernas como o ABS e o Combined Brake System, que tornam a condução ainda mais segura e rápida. A Suzuki leva as críticas a sério, o para-brisas foi aumentado e, em linha com a tendência, a V-Strom 1000 está agora também disponível numa versão XT ligeiramente mais off-road com jantes de raios de arame, que não só aumentam a estabilidade como também o aspeto fresco - especialmente com a pintura amarela. Para além de todas estas vantagens, o preço baixo continua a ser o argumento decisivo para a Suzuki V-Strom 1000.
