BMW R 1200 GS 2010
Une GS Adventure a pratiquement tout ce qu'il faut pour le grand voyage. Mais premièrement, Touratech fabrique de toute façon certaines pièces pour BMW et deuxièmement, cela ne s'arrête pas aux équipements spéciaux proposés par le constructeur bavarois.
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.
