Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2014

No segmento de enduro de grandes dimensões, a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ocupa a posição de melhor relação qualidade/preço, mas não tem de prescindir de nada - até o controlo de tração e o ABS são de série. Excelentes travões, grande conforto e um motor V-twin maravilhosamente potente são ingredientes que devem agradar a quase toda a gente. O facto de não jogar na liga superior com 100 cv é compensado pela maravilhosa entrega de potência, que garante um clima descontraído em viagens longas. Apenas a proteção contra o vento não é a ideal com o para-brisas original; deve investir-se no para-brisas acessível, um pouco maior.
BMW R 1200 GS 2017

Durante mais de 35 anos, a BMW tem continuado a expandir a gama boxer e está constantemente a trabalhar na evolução da GS. Para além da atualização EURO4 do motor com novo catalisador e mapeamento, existem agora ainda mais características como o Dynamic ESA Next Generation com compensação automática da posição de condução, que melhora ainda mais a estabilidade e o conforto do condutor. Com o seu esquema de cores subtil, a versão Exclusive destina-se aos amigos de uma aparência elegante e discreta e, ao contrário da variante Rallye mais vistosa, foi concebida mais para a estrada. Muitas características têm um custo extra, mas os clientes da GS normalmente não se importam - 90 por cento são encomendados com o equipamento completo.
