Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020

Apesar de a nova V-Strom 1050 ter subido de preço para um campeonato em que tem de ser comparada mais com a concorrência do que antes, manteve-se fiel a si própria, apesar das mais modernas características de segurança, ou melhor, manteve-se uma moto descomplicada que está pronta para a grande viagem. O seu terreno preferido é a estrada, que, graças ao bom chassis, também pode ser má e acidentada. As passagens fora de estrada também não são problema, mas aqueles que procuram regularmente terrenos mais acidentados terão menos probabilidades de acabar com a Suzuki devido ao seu grande peso. Em estradas pavimentadas, no entanto, a massa pode ser movida surpreendentemente rapidamente e sem esforço. O motor viciante, o design retro bem sucedido e a extrema adequação para passeios fazem da Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT uma moto de topo para longas viagens.
KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

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.
