KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

A KTM 1090 Adventure é um grande passo da sua antecessora, a 1050 Adventure, em direção às suas irmãs maiores. O pacote eletrónico com modos de condução ajustáveis, controlo de tração e ABS mantém-se no nível já elevado, mas o motor tem agora 125 cv, cerca de um terço (!) mais do que a 1050. Mais importante ainda, agora pode acelerar livremente até mais de 10.000 rpm e, portanto, oferece uma faixa de rotação mais utilizável. Dificilmente encontrará uma moto mais equilibrada na classe das grandes enduros de turismo, ainda com preços razoáveis.
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2020

Para mim, a Africa Twin é uma enduro de turismo como deve ser uma enduro de turismo. Isso já era verdade para o modelo antecessor e não mudou com o aumento do deslocamento e da potência. Porque este último permaneceu gerenciável em 102 hp, e a Honda até conseguiu perder alguns quilos em comparação com a CRF1000L. Assim, manteve-se versátil, funcionando tão bem na autoestrada como fora de estrada. O chassis absorve quase todos os solavancos, o motor mantém-se soberano em todas as situações, a ergonomia e o conforto dos bancos são exemplares. Uma moto para todos os dias, bem como para a grande viagem - onde quer que seja.
