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.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018
A nova Africa Twin veio exatamente como os fãs esperavam: Bem controlável, sem agitação e uma óptima companheira de viagem. O facto de também ter um aspeto extremamente bonito foi um bónus agradável. Portanto, não há razão para mudar fundamentalmente a Africa Twin, o que era bom continua bom na nova - e muito foi melhorado. Graças ao Ride by Wire, agora também é possível desfrutar dos modos de desempenho na Africa Twin, e o controlo de tração pode ser ajustado 7 vezes (em vez de 3 vezes anteriormente) e desligado. O DCT opcional continua a ser um grande sucesso e muito divertido, mas também custa muito.
