Les véritables points d'attaque sont rares chez le leader du marché, qui est devenu encore plus polyvalent - et plus rapide.
KTM 1090 Adventure R 2017
C'est exactement ce que doit être une KTM. Elle donne une sensation de sportivité, mais offre aussi beaucoup de confort. En off-road, elle était robuste, fiable et rapide. Le châssis s'adapte à tout, tout comme le freinage. Les aides électroniques à la conduite permettent de parcourir des tronçons tout à fait nouveaux pour cette catégorie de poids. S'il n'y avait pas la hauteur de selle énorme, elle serait un conseil grandiose pour de nombreux enduristes.
