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.
KTM 1050 Adventure 2016

Na minha opinião, a KTM 1050 Adventure retoma o ponto em que a 990 Adventure parou há alguns anos: Cerca de 100 cv de potência, manuseamento lúdico e tanta ou tão pouca eletrónica como a que existe atualmente. O motor é tudo menos fraco, o ABS e o controlo de tração regulam de forma segura e discreta e o comportamento é extremamente divertido, em parte devido aos pneus relativamente estreitos. E tudo isto a um preço que só é ultrapassado por alguns concorrentes na liga das grandes enduros de turismo. Por mais triste que possa ser, as duas 1190 Adventures e, acima de tudo, a emblemática 1290 Super Adventure, subiram de preço para níveis muito elevados. E é precisamente por isso que a KTM 1050 Adventure é talvez o mais coerente dos quatro modelos Adventure.
