Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1050 Adventure 2015

A KTM 1050 Adventure retoma o ponto em que a 990 Adventure parou há alguns anos: Cerca de 100 cv de potência, manuseamento lúdico e tanta ou tão pouca eletrónica como a que existe atualmente. O motor é tudo menos fraco, o ABS e o controlo de tração regulam de forma segura e discreta e o comportamento é extremamente divertido, em parte devido aos pneus relativamente estreitos. E tudo isto a um preço que só é ultrapassado por alguns concorrentes na liga das grandes enduros de turismo. Por mais triste que possa ser, as duas 1190 Adventures e, acima de tudo, a emblemática 1290 Super Adventure, subiram de preço para níveis muito elevados. E é precisamente por isso que a KTM 1050 Adventure é talvez o mais coerente dos quatro modelos Adventure.
Kawasaki Versys 1000 2015

A nova Kawasaki Versys 1000 não é um modelo completamente novo - mesmo que pareça um do ponto de vista do design. O visual foi inteligentemente adaptado à atual linha agressiva da Kawasaki, com dois faróis pontiagudos e muitas arestas na frente. Tecnicamente, por outro lado, foi cautelosamente atualizado - mas de forma bastante sensata. Dois cavalos de potência adicionais aumentam a potência para 120 cv, o que é excelente para conduzir graças às maravilhosas características de quatro cilindros em linha. O chassis corresponde às exigências desportivas de uma Kawasaki, mas a ergonomia e a posição confortável do assento permitem viagens longas - tal como uma grande enduro. Com acessórios úteis, tais como um conjunto de alforges, top case, punhos aquecidos e faróis adicionais, a Versys 1000 torna-se numa séria tourer de longa distância - o preço base comparativamente baixo torna estes acessórios bastante acessíveis.
