KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015
KTM model 1290 Super Adventure upravičeno predstavlja kot vodilno vozilo na področju pustolovščin. Opremljen je s prefinjeno elektroniko in skoraj vsem, kar bi lahko potrebovali v velikem potovalnem enduru, ter se pričakovano priporoča za dolge proge. Kar pa iz njegovega okornega videza ni takoj razvidno, je, da je Super Adventure, tako kot njegove sestre 1190, neverjetno zabaven stroj. Zlasti v tesnih ovinkih je neverjetno zabaven. Elektronika nadzoruje trakcijo, podvozje in upravljanje motorja tako neopazno, da se lahko popolnoma in predvsem varno osredotočite na pospeševanje. Na vmesnih ravninah 160 KM moči zagotavlja, da lahko 1290 Super Adventure izpolni tudi športne zahteve, zato ga v smislu univerzalnosti težko kdo preseže.
BMW R 1250 GS 2019
The BMW R 1250 GS is the logical further development of the R 1200 GS - logical above all because one should not expect such a popular motorbike to be radically changed. Accordingly, the design has been changed cautiously, and the familiar options for the chassis and electronics have been retained. The new name R 1250 GS, however, promises a new engine - and it really is something! 136 hp at 7750 rpm and a whopping 143 Newton metres of maximum torque at 6250 rpm are an absolute blast! BMW has thus renovated the big GS almost perfectly: it remains clearly recognisable, has a little more electronics as standard, a still long list of surcharges (which customers like to tick from A to Z) and a now even better and more sovereign power plant - what more could you want?!
