Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1090 Adventure 2017
La KTM 1090 Adventure est un grand pas en avant par rapport à son prédécesseur, la 1050 Adventure, en direction de ses grandes sœurs. Le package électronique avec les Riding Modes réglables, le contrôle de traction et l'ABS reste certes à un niveau déjà élevé, mais le moteur développe désormais 125 ch, soit environ un tiers ( !) de plus que la 1050. Ce qui est presque plus important, c'est qu'il peut désormais tirer librement jusqu'à plus de 10 000 tours et offre ainsi une plage de régime plus exploitable. Il est difficile de trouver une moto plus équilibrée dans la catégorie des grandes enduros de voyage encore à peu près abordables.
BMW R 1250 GS 2019
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 ?
