BMW F 850 GS 2018
On ne le voit peut-être pas au premier coup d'œil, mais la nouvelle BMW F 850 GS est en fait une construction entièrement nouvelle. Le châssis en acier et la transmission ont été modifiés, le moteur a été agrandi à 853 cubiques et conçu de manière encore plus puissante avec un déport de 90 degrés des manetons. La nouvelle F 850 GS se présente ainsi plus souveraine qu'excitée et convainc aussi bien sur la route qu'en off-road. La particularité de la BMW est la possibilité de la configurer exactement en fonction de ses besoins personnels grâce à une vaste gamme d'accessoires - il n'y a en fait aucune caractéristique actuellement disponible que l'on ne puisse obtenir sur sa F 850 GS. Mais cela fait aussi grimper le prix.
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2020
L'Africa Twin est pour moi une moto d'aventure comme une moto d'aventure doit l'être. C'était déjà le cas pour le modèle précédent et cela n'a pas changé avec l'augmentation de la cylindrée et de la puissance. D'une part, parce que la puissance de 102 ch est restée raisonnable et que Honda a même réussi à perdre quelques kilos par rapport à la CRF1000L. Il lui restait donc la polyvalence, elle fonctionne aussi bien sur l'autoroute qu'en off-road. Le châssis absorbe presque toutes les irrégularités, le moteur reste souverain dans toutes les situations, l'ergonomie et le confort d'assise sont exemplaires. Une moto pour tous les jours, mais aussi pour les grands voyages - quelle que soit la destination.
