Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2016

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2016

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 je v segmentu velikih enduro motociklov najugodnejši glede na ceno, vendar vam ni treba storiti ničesar - nadzor vleke in ABS sta standardna. Odlične zavore, veliko udobja in čudovito zmogljiv V-dvojni motor so sestavine, ki bi morale pritegniti skoraj vsakogar. Dejstvo, da s 100 KM ne igra v prvi ligi, nadoknadi čudovita moč, ki zagotavlja sproščeno vzdušje na dolgih potovanjih. Le zaščita pred vetrom z originalnim vetrobranskim steklom ni optimalna; treba je investirati v cenovno dostopno, nekoliko večje vetrobransko steklo.

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

The legend is back, Honda claimed wholeheartedly - but the mission has succeeded to the highest degree, the Africa Twin with the rather bulky name CRF1000L Africa Twin is a very agile and excellently rideable enduro that works well on all surfaces. This also applies to gravel and single trails, where easy handling is of course very important. With 95 hp, it is a proud 65 hp short of the Elite, but you don't need more for such balanced handling. In one respect, the CRF1000L Africa Twin is completely unrivalled - it can be ordered with a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
