Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
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.
KTM 790 Adventure R 2020
L'Adventure R va encore plus loin que le modèle standard. Ici, les gars de WP ont enfin pu puiser dans leurs ressources et montrer ce dont ils étaient capables. Grâce à son châssis de meilleure qualité, il compense sur la route les inconvénients du long débattement de la suspension, mais marque des points en off-road avec des réserves massives. Le supplément de prix est plus que justifié. Il est probable que la hauteur de selle limitera quelque peu la clientèle.
