Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2018
Nova Africa Twin je prišla točno takšna, kot so jo pričakovali oboževalci: Dobro vodljiv, neagresiven in čudovit sopotnik na potovanjih. Dejstvo, da je tudi videti izjemno dobro, je bil prijeten bonus. Zato ni razloga, da bi Afriko Twin korenito spreminjali; kar je bilo dobro, je ostalo dobro tudi na novem modelu - veliko pa je bilo izboljšanega. Zahvaljujoč sistemu Ride by Wire lahko zdaj pri modelu Africa Twin uživate tudi v načinih zmogljivosti, nadzor vleke pa je mogoče prilagoditi 7-krat (namesto prej 3-krat) in izklopiti. Opcijski menjalnik DCT je še vedno velika uspešnica in zelo zabaven, vendar tudi veliko stane.
Suzuki V-Strom 650 2017
Mali V-Strom 650 ni le vizualno blizu velikemu modelu V-Strom 1000 z izrazitim kačjim grebenom, zlaganjem žarometov in obsežnimi instrumenti. Oprema sploh ne ustreza temu, kar razumemo pod pojmom "poceni vstop": nadzor vleke, živahen motor Euro4, harmonično vodenje in dodatni tehnični pripomočki, kot sta pomoč pri nizkih vrtljajih ali Suzukijev sistem Easy Start. Na veselje kupcev je cena ostala v razumnih mejah.
