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.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2017
A KTM 1290 Super Adventure S é mais do que uma enduro de turismo desportiva - é uma máquina desportiva que também pode fazer passeios. O potente motor de 160 cv não só é extremamente potente, como também é muito fácil de utilizar e dá vontade de conduzir de forma desportiva. Os muitos sistemas de assistência eletrónica como o controlo de tração, chassis semi-ativo, vários modos e ABS em curva também contribuem para que se sinta em casa na 1290 Super Adventure S. Finalmente, o enorme ecrã TFT e outros gadgets como o sistema Race-on ou My Ride também são bastante convincentes.
