Em suma, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, com capacidade para longas distâncias, foi concebida para uma viagem a dois, em que o condutor quase nunca tem de pensar para onde vai. Gosta de secções de autoestrada, passagens rápidas em estradas rurais ou passagens sinuosas de montanha nas curvas mais apertadas, tanto como de estradas não pavimentadas com a ocasional secção de gravilha áspera, onde é principalmente o condutor ou a sua rotina que decidem até onde podem ir. A maneabilidade, que foi melhorada em comparação com a antecessora devido ao depósito mais baixo (e, portanto, ao centro de gravidade), também marca pontos aqui. O chassis eletrónico lida perfeitamente com as superfícies variáveis de uma viagem e transmite sempre transparência, a soberania do motor em todas as situações. Pronto para a corrida - ou também: Pronto para corridas de longa distância!
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2020

Para mim, a Africa Twin é uma enduro de turismo como deve ser uma enduro de turismo. Isso já era verdade para o modelo antecessor e não mudou com o aumento do deslocamento e da potência. Porque este último permaneceu gerenciável em 102 hp, e a Honda até conseguiu perder alguns quilos em comparação com a CRF1000L. Assim, manteve-se versátil, funcionando tão bem na autoestrada como fora de estrada. O chassis absorve quase todos os solavancos, o motor mantém-se soberano em todas as situações, a ergonomia e o conforto dos bancos são exemplares. Uma moto para todos os dias, bem como para a grande viagem - onde quer que seja.
