BMW R 1200 GS 2016

GS je doma téměř všude - ale jen v omezené míře na závodní dráze. Je radost cítit sílu částečně vodou chlazeného boxerového dvouválce na výjezdu ze zatáčky - 125 koní se jen na papíře zdá mnohem slabších než 150 nebo dokonce 160 koní u konkurence. S točivým momentem 125 newtonmetrů je zrychlení odspodu i tak vynikající a GS s hmotností 238 kg připravené k jízdě nenese přes svůj objemný vzhled příliš mnoho špeku. Ve velmi ostrých zatáčkách se pozitivně projevuje i nízko položené těžiště - BMW R 1200 GS je velmi těžké rozlousknout! Dokonce i přední teleleverové odpružení, které potlačuje tendenci předního kola zapadat při brzdění, dokonale zapadá do celkového balení GS a jen mírně ubírá na jeho sportovním charakteru.
Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT 2016

Segment cestovních endur se z hlediska motorů značně změkčil - kromě typických dvouválcových motorů se objevují také čtyřválce ve tvaru R a V a Triumph se nyní musí dělit o jedinečný prodejní argument v podobě řadového tříválcového motoru s dalšími dvěma výrobci (MV Agusta Turismo Veloce a Yamaha Tracer 900). V modelu Tiger Explorer XRt je velký tříválcový motor o objemu 1215 cm3 velmi výkonný, ale zároveň důsledně kultivovaný. Už zvuk napovídá, že se blíží něco jiného, a se 140 koňmi není velký Tiger v žádném případě slabý. A díky dobré odezvě nejsou navzdory impozantní hmotnosti problémem ani velmi ostré zatáčky. Z hlediska komfortu nelze skvěle vybavené verzi XRt nic vytknout; na palubě je dokonce elektricky výškově nastavitelné čelní sklo.
