Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1200 GS 2017
Durante mais de 35 anos, a BMW tem continuado a expandir a gama boxer e está constantemente a trabalhar na evolução da GS. Para além da atualização EURO4 do motor com novo catalisador e mapeamento, existem agora ainda mais características como o Dynamic ESA Next Generation com compensação automática da posição de condução, que melhora ainda mais a estabilidade e o conforto do condutor. Com o seu esquema de cores subtil, a versão Exclusive destina-se aos amigos de uma aparência elegante e discreta e, ao contrário da variante Rallye mais vistosa, foi concebida mais para a estrada. Muitas características têm um custo extra, mas os clientes da GS normalmente não se importam - 90 por cento são encomendados com o equipamento completo.
KTM 1050 Adventure 2016
Na minha opinião, a KTM 1050 Adventure retoma o ponto em que a 990 Adventure parou há alguns anos: Cerca de 100 cv de potência, manuseamento lúdico e tanta ou tão pouca eletrónica como a que existe atualmente. O motor é tudo menos fraco, o ABS e o controlo de tração regulam de forma segura e discreta e o comportamento é extremamente divertido, em parte devido aos pneus relativamente estreitos. E tudo isto a um preço que só é ultrapassado por alguns concorrentes na liga das grandes enduros de turismo. Por mais triste que possa ser, as duas 1190 Adventures e, acima de tudo, a emblemática 1290 Super Adventure, subiram de preço para níveis muito elevados. E é precisamente por isso que a KTM 1050 Adventure é talvez o mais coerente dos quatro modelos Adventure.
