Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018

A nova Africa Twin veio exatamente como os fãs esperavam: Bem controlável, sem agitação e uma óptima companheira de viagem. O facto de também ter um aspeto extremamente bonito foi um bónus agradável. Portanto, não há razão para mudar fundamentalmente a Africa Twin, o que era bom continua bom na nova - e muito foi melhorado. Graças ao Ride by Wire, agora também é possível desfrutar dos modos de desempenho na Africa Twin, e o controlo de tração pode ser ajustado 7 vezes (em vez de 3 vezes anteriormente) e desligado. O DCT opcional continua a ser um grande sucesso e muito divertido, mas também custa muito.

Durante mais de 35 anos, a BMW tem continuado a expandir a gama boxer e está constantemente a trabalhar na evolução da GS.

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.
