Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2014

No segmento de enduro de grandes dimensões, a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ocupa a posição de melhor relação qualidade/preço, mas não tem de prescindir de nada - até o controlo de tração e o ABS são de série. Excelentes travões, grande conforto e um motor V-twin maravilhosamente potente são ingredientes que devem agradar a quase toda a gente. O facto de não jogar na liga superior com 100 cv é compensado pela maravilhosa entrega de potência, que garante um clima descontraído em viagens longas. Apenas a proteção contra o vento não é a ideal com o para-brisas original; deve investir-se no para-brisas acessível, um pouco maior.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015

A 1290 Super Adventure é corretamente apresentada pela KTM como um porta-estandarte da aventura. Equipada com eletrónica sofisticada e quase tudo o que se pode precisar numa grande enduro de turismo, recomenda-se como esperado para o longo prazo. No entanto, o que não se vê imediatamente pela sua aparência volumosa é que a Super Adventure, tal como as suas irmãs 1190, é uma máquina incrivelmente divertida. Especialmente em curvas apertadas, é uma diversão inacreditável. A eletrónica controla a tração, o chassis e a gestão do motor de forma tão discreta que se pode concentrar totalmente e, acima de tudo, com segurança, na aceleração. Nas rectas intermédias, os 160 cv de potência asseguram que a 1290 Super Adventure também pode cumprir os requisitos desportivos e, portanto, dificilmente é ultrapassada em termos de universalidade.
