KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2022

A variante R da 1290 Super Adventure é uma das opções mais luxuosas para longas viagens que não terminam em estradas pavimentadas.

A GS também nos impressionou com a sua versatilidade durante o teste em novembro de 2021. Conduzimos a moto numa grande variedade de terrenos e ficámos mais uma vez muito satisfeitos.
