Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
BMW R 1200 GS 2015
Une GS est à l'aise presque partout - mais sur la piste de course, elle ne l'est que dans une certaine mesure. C'est un plaisir de ressentir la puissance du bicylindre boxer partiellement refroidi par eau à la sortie des virages - 125 ch ne semblent que sur le papier beaucoup plus faibles que 150 ou même 160 ch chez la concurrence. Avec un couple de 125 Newton-mètres, l'attaque par le bas est de toute façon magnifique et la GS, avec ses 238 kilos prête à rouler, ne traîne pas trop de poids malgré son allure imposante. Dans les virages très serrés, le centre de gravité bas a un effet positif - la BMW R 1200 GS est très difficile à casser ! Même la suspension avant Telelever, qui supprime le tangage de la roue avant lors du freinage, s'intègre parfaitement à l'ensemble de la GS et ne peut que légèrement atténuer son caractère sportif.
Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019
La meilleure Tiger 800 qui ait jamais existé - car si la nouvelle Tiger 800 XCa peut se targuer d'un mode Offroad Pro spécial en off-road et d'une magnifique position debout, elle ne fait pas non plus de faux pas sur les routes pavées : une position de conduite magnifique, la même maniabilité que la Tiger 800 XRt, plus axée sur la route, grâce à un guidon plus large, et même plus d'angle d'inclinaison maximum grâce aux débattements de suspension plus longs. Malgré de sérieuses capacités off-road et une conduite sportive, il n'est pas nécessaire de renoncer au confort, l'écran TFT couleur, le pare-brise réglable en hauteur, les poignées et la selle chauffantes ainsi que l'éclairage entièrement LED ne sont pas encore disponibles dans la catégorie moyenne des motos d'aventure chez d'autres constructeurs, même contre un supplément de prix, alors qu'ils sont standard chez le modèle haut de gamme de Triumph.
