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.

Quem disse que é preciso ter 150 cv ou mais para pertencer à "classe alta"? A Adventure Sports oferece tudo o que um enduro de turismo confortável precisa e, com o seu chassis eletrónico e todas as características de segurança concebíveis, não precisa de ter medo de qualquer comparação. Pronta para o grande passeio e, graças a uma autonomia de mais de 400 quilómetros, também para etapas realmente longas, não precisa de parar em estradas não pavimentadas graças ao amplo curso da suspensão, e chegará mais longe do que muitos possam pensar.
