Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2019

A cruiser entre as enduros de turismo irradia conforto e soberania. O seu estrondoso motor V2 move-se bem e de forma indulgente. O chassis e os travões também funcionam bem. É tão inadequada para situações extremas de todo-o-terreno como nas mãos de notórios amoladores de joelhos. A Moto Guzzi V 85 TT gosta de fazer as suas rondas de uma forma refinada e confortável, e mesmo para passeios mais longos oferece conforto prático suficiente com a sua transmissão por cardan e ergonomia. Para além disso, tem um aspeto sensacional e transmite emoção. A única coisa que alguns dos nossos testadores gostariam era de ter mais alguns cavalos para além dos seus 80 cv.
