Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2021
A variante R da 1290 Super Adventure é uma das opções mais luxuosas para longas viagens que não terminam em estradas pavimentadas. Há sempre muita potência disponível e o visual de rali evoca imediatamente o desejo de viajar. A suspensão WP pode lidar com quase todas as superfícies imagináveis, mas tem de ser ajustada manualmente e também tem de prescindir do controlo de distância.
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2021
A grande GS Adventure é e continua a ser uma mota fantástica para qualquer tipo de terreno — inclusive para curvas apertadas. O centro de gravidade baixo do motor boxer, o veio de manivelas montado longitudinalmente, a posição de condução ereta e o binário potente, mas bem controlável, desde as rotações mais baixas são, sem dúvida, uma força da natureza. Embora a versão Adventure tenha, devido ao peso acrescido, um assento mais alto — o que representa um obstáculo decisivo, sobretudo nas manobras de viragem ou manobras de estacionamento —, em termos de desempenho, o motor da grande GS Adventure tem tanta potência que permite acelerar a todo o vapor. O sistema de travagem da BMW é estável e permite uma dosagem excelente, e o equipamento, bem como a eletrónica, podem ser devidamente melhorados — desde que se assinalem as opções na lista de encomendas. É claro que isto faz subir o preço, mas isso, aparentemente, não incomoda os muitos fãs da robusta GS Adventure.
