Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1250 GS 2020
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?

Nenhuma KTM Adventure deve atravessar o balcão sem MSC. O ABS / MSC não tem uma única desvantagem a oferecer na prática.
