KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015
La 1290 Super Adventure est présentée par KTM, à juste titre, comme le fleuron de l'aventure. Bourrée d'électronique sophistiquée et de presque tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin dans une moto d'aventure de grande taille, elle est recommandée, comme on pouvait s'y attendre, pour les longs voyages. Ce que l'on ne voit pas tout de suite avec son apparence massive, c'est que la Super Adventure est, comme ses sœurs 1190, une machine incroyablement amusante. C'est surtout dans les épingles étroites qu'elle procure un plaisir incroyable. L'électronique règle la traction, le châssis et la gestion du moteur de manière si discrète que l'on peut se concentrer entièrement et surtout en toute sécurité sur l'accélération. Dans les lignes droites intermédiaires, la puissance de 160 ch permet à la 1290 Super Adventure de répondre à des exigences sportives et d'être ainsi très universelle.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2018
Pour beaucoup, la nouvelle Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Adventure Sports est la véritable Africa Twin, qui, avec un réservoir plus grand, des débattements de suspension plus longs et un pare-brise plus haut, vise le grand voyage encore plus sérieusement que ne le fait déjà l'Africa Twin normale. Le châssis fonctionne comme une selle, la position d'assise permet de parcourir des centaines de kilomètres d'affilée - 525 avec un plein, selon Honda. L'agilité et la maniabilité dont peut se targuer l'Africa Twin normale en pâtissent toutefois. Mais avec l'aspect plus joli de l'Adventure Sports, Honda frappe à nouveau dans le mille, il n'y a actuellement pas de plus belle moto d'aventure.
