Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2021

A Adventure é a derradeira máquina de turismo. A altura elevada do assento limita o grupo-alvo, tal como o preço elevado. Mas se ultrapassar estes dois obstáculos, obtém-se uma magnífica máquina de fazer quilómetros. O motor faz com que todos os tipos de diversão de condução saiam das suas mangas. O baixo consumo de combustível em combinação com o gigantesco depósito de 30 litros garante uma autonomia incrivelmente longa.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2017

A 1290 Super Adventure R é suposto ser o novo porta-estandarte todo-o-terreno da gama Adventure da KTM - e é! É espantoso como é fácil mover 240 quilos fora de estrada com o depósito cheio. O modo todo-o-terreno também é bastante convincente. Por outro lado, tal como na 1290 Super Adventure S, os 160 cv e 140 Newton metros de binário, bem como todas as características de conforto (exceto a suspensão ajustável eletronicamente) estão disponíveis na versão R: Quatro modos de desempenho (Sport, Street, Rain e Offroad), ABS em curva, controlo de tração, cruise control, sistema race-on sem chave e gestão de telemóvel "My Ride". Isto significa que a KTM 1290 Super Adventure R combina, de facto, quatro motos numa só - justificando assim o seu orgulhoso preço.
