Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
BMW S 1000 XR 2017
Avec son moteur Supersport qui développe désormais 165 ch, associé à la géométrie et au confort d'une Bigenduro, la S 1000 XR fait partie des motos les plus rapides sur la voie publique. La vaste gamme d'accessoires la rend encore plus rapide ou plus confortable, selon les besoins. Avec une hauteur de selle de 840 mm et un entrejambe long, elle est toutefois peu adaptée aux pilotes de petite taille. La selle de 790 mm de haut y remédie toutefois. Les freins sont aussi puissants que le moteur, la XR convainc par sa précision et surtout sa stabilité. Malgré une performance folle, on se sent bien et en sécurité, comme on l'attend d'une BMW.
BMW R 1200 GS 2017
Depuis plus de 35 ans, BMW continue d'élargir sa gamme de boxers et travaille systématiquement à l'évolution de la GS. En plus de la mise à jour EURO4 du moteur avec un nouveau catalyseur et une nouvelle cartographie, il y a désormais encore plus de caractéristiques comme le Dynamic ESA Next Generation avec compensation automatique de l'assiette, qui améliore encore la stabilité et le confort du pilote. Avec ses couleurs discrètes, la version Exclusive est destinée aux amateurs d'une apparence soignée et feutrée et, contrairement à la variante Rallye plus criarde, elle est plutôt conçue pour la route. De nombreuses caractéristiques sont payantes, mais les clients de la GS ne s'en soucient généralement pas - 90% d'entre eux commandent un équipement complet.
