BMW F 850 GS Adventure 2019

Z veliko tehničnimi funkcijami in dodatno opremo je "mala" pustolovščina visokotehnološki stroj. Številne funkcije dobro delujejo, naše preizkuševalce pa sta navdušila predvsem elektronsko podvozje in svilnato gladko delovanje motorja. Azijsko poreklo motorja ni opazno. Večji rezervoar različice Adventure in vsa dodatna oprema povečajo tako težo kot ceno. Z 244 kg je BMW F 850 GS Adventure okoren kos, ki ni všeč vsem. Toda ergonomija je vrhunska, položaj sedenja v širokem oklepu pa daje občutek varnosti in zaščite.
Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020

Čeprav se je novi V-Strom 1050 cenovno povzpel v ligo, v kateri se mora bolj kot prej primerjati s konkurenco, je kljub najsodobnejšim varnostnim elementom ostal zvest samemu sebi oziroma je ostal preprost motocikel, ki je pripravljen na veliko potovanje. Njegov najljubši teren je cesta, ki je zaradi dobrega podvozja lahko tudi slaba in luknjasta. Tudi terenski prehodi niso težava, vendar bodo tisti, ki redno iščejo težje terene, zaradi njegove mogočne teže redkeje končali pri Suzukiju. Na asfaltiranih cestah pa je mogoče maso premikati presenetljivo hitro in brez napora. Zaradi zasvojljivega motorja, uspešnega retro dizajna in izjemne primernosti za turno vožnjo je Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT vrhunski motocikel za dolga potovanja.
