Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1200 GS 2015

Uma GS sente-se em casa em quase todo o lado - mas apenas de forma limitada na pista de corridas. É um prazer sentir a potência do bicilindro boxer parcialmente arrefecido a água à saída da curva - 125 cv só no papel parecem muito mais fracos do que os 150 ou mesmo 160 cv da concorrência. Com 125 Newton metros de binário, a aceleração a partir do fundo é soberba e a GS, com 238 quilos pronta a conduzir, não carrega demasiada flacidez apesar da sua aparência volumosa. Em curvas muito apertadas, o baixo centro de gravidade também tem um efeito positivo - a BMW R 1200 GS é muito difícil de quebrar! Mesmo a suspensão dianteira com telelever, que suprime a tendência da roda dianteira para afundar durante a travagem, encaixa-se perfeitamente no pacote geral da GS e só pode diminuir ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

A lenda está de volta, a Honda afirmou de todo o coração - mas a missão foi bem sucedida ao mais alto grau, o Africa Twin com o nome bastante volumoso CRF1000L Africa Twin é um enduro muito ágil e excelentemente montável que funciona bem em todas as superfícies. Isso também se aplica a cascalho e trilhas únicas, onde o fácil manuseio é, naturalmente, muito importante. Com 95 hp, é um orgulhoso 65 hp a menos do que o Elite, mas você não precisa de mais para um manuseio tão equilibrado. Num aspeto, a CRF1000L Africa Twin é completamente incomparável - pode ser encomendada com uma DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
