Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1200 GS 2016
Uma GS sente-se em casa em quase todo o lado - mas apenas de forma limitada na pista de corridas. É um prazer sentir a potência do bicilindro boxer parcialmente arrefecido a água à saída da curva - 125 cv só no papel parecem muito mais fracos do que os 150 ou mesmo 160 cv da concorrência. Com 125 Newton metros de binário, a aceleração a partir do fundo é soberba e a GS, com 238 quilos pronta a conduzir, não carrega demasiada flacidez apesar da sua aparência volumosa. Em curvas muito apertadas, o baixo centro de gravidade também tem um efeito positivo - a BMW R 1200 GS é muito difícil de quebrar! Mesmo a suspensão dianteira com telelever, que suprime a tendência da roda dianteira para afundar durante a travagem, encaixa-se perfeitamente no conjunto geral da GS e apenas diminui ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017
Continua a ser sensacional. A Honda tem as suas virtudes familiares, mas nunca se torna obsoleta. Uma moto que o acompanha em todos os momentos e não se cansa mesmo em viagens muito longas. Muito robusta em todo-o-terreno, também lida com passagens muito difíceis sem qualquer problema. Continua a ser a referência para as enduros de turismo em 2017.
