Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1200 GS 2017
Durante mais de 35 anos, a BMW tem continuado a expandir a gama boxer e está constantemente a trabalhar na evolução da GS. Para além da atualização EURO4 do motor com novo catalisador e mapeamento, existem agora ainda mais características como o Dynamic ESA Next Generation com compensação automática da posição de condução, que melhora ainda mais a estabilidade e o conforto do condutor. Com o seu esquema de cores subtil, a versão Exclusive destina-se aos amigos de uma aparência elegante e discreta e, ao contrário da variante Rallye mais vistosa, foi concebida mais para a estrada. Muitas características têm um custo extra, mas os clientes da GS normalmente não se importam - 90 por cento são encomendados com o equipamento completo.
KTM 1090 Adventure 2017
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.
