BMW R 1250 GS 2019
A BMW R 1250 GS é o desenvolvimento lógico da R 1200 GS - lógico sobretudo porque não se deve esperar que uma moto tão popular seja radicalmente alterada. Assim, o design foi alterado com cautela, e as opções familiares para o chassis e eletrónica foram mantidas. O novo nome R 1250 GS, no entanto, promete um novo motor - e é realmente algo! 136 cv às 7750 rpm e uns impressionantes 143 Newton metros de binário máximo às 6250 rpm são uma explosão absoluta! Assim, a BMW renovou a grande GS quase na perfeição: continua a ser claramente reconhecível, tem um pouco mais de eletrónica de série, uma lista ainda longa de sobretaxas (que os clientes gostam de assinalar de A a Z) e um motor agora ainda melhor e mais soberano - que mais se pode querer?
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.
