Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
BMW R 1250 GS 2020
La BMW R 1250 GS est l'évolution logique de la R 1200 GS - logique surtout parce qu'on ne peut pas s'attendre à ce qu'une moto aussi populaire soit radicalement modifiée. En conséquence, le design est modifié avec précaution et les options connues sont conservées pour le châssis et l'électronique. Le nouveau nom R 1250 GS promet cependant un nouveau moteur - et il a effectivement de quoi faire ! 136 ch à 7750 tours et pas moins de 143 newtons-mètres de couple maximal à 6250 tours, c'est une véritable bombe ! BMW rénove ainsi presque parfaitement la grande GS : elle reste clairement identifiable, dispose d'un peu plus d'électronique de série, d'une liste de prix supplémentaires toujours aussi longue (que la clientèle aime cocher de A à Z) et d'un moteur encore plus performant et souverain - que peut-on demander de plus ?
Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer 2022
Avec la Tiger 1200, Triumph a définitivement rejoint le peloton de tête des motos d'aventure de catégorie supérieure, après les modèles de catégorie moyenne. Les modèles Rally convainquent aussi dans la pratique par leur véritable compétence tout-terrain, les modèles GT par leur agilité exemplaire, tous deux par leur puissance et leur souveraineté en toutes circonstances grâce à leur trois cylindres plein de caractère. On ne détrônera pas la BMW R1250 GS du trône de la moto la plus vendue, mais elle n'a plus à se cacher de cette dernière ou d'autres concurrentes. Nos tests comparatifs nous diront si elle a l'étoffe de la meilleure "Big Adventurebike" de 2022, mais d'après les premières impressions, je pense que les chances ne sont pas si mauvaises. D'autant plus que la moto d'aventure est capable de faire le grand écart entre les longs trajets et l'aptitude au tout-terrain, ce qu'une moto d'aventure doit toujours faire, dans un sens ou dans l'autre selon le modèle choisi.
