Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 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.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2018

Aquilo em que a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 já era muito boa antes, a nova V-Strom 1000 também é muito boa: uma moto bem equilibrada que não se esquiva a um estilo de condução desportivo com boa capacidade para longas distâncias. A isto juntam-se características modernas como o ABS e o Combined Brake System, que tornam a condução ainda mais segura e rápida. A Suzuki leva as críticas a sério, o para-brisas foi aumentado e, em linha com a tendência, a V-Strom 1000 está agora também disponível numa versão XT ligeiramente mais off-road com jantes de raios de arame, que não só aumentam a estabilidade como também o aspeto fresco - especialmente com a pintura amarela. Para além de todas estas vantagens, o preço baixo continua a ser o argumento decisivo para a Suzuki V-Strom 1000.
