Em nenhuma outra Bigenduro se pode andar com tanta força no joelho e, por isso, acabar muito à frente na grelha. Se te sentes frequentemente atacado na tua viagem de férias, deves ripostar com a Versys 1000. O que prova que grandes enduros e quatro cilindros se dão bem.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2016
No segmento das grandes motos de enduro, a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 é a melhor relação qualidade/preço, mas não tem de prescindir de nada - o controlo de tração e o ABS são de série. Excelentes travões, grande conforto e um motor V-twin maravilhosamente potente são ingredientes que devem agradar a quase toda a gente. O facto de não jogar na liga superior com 100 cv é compensado pela maravilhosa entrega de potência, que garante um clima descontraído em viagens longas. Apenas a proteção contra o vento não é a ideal com o para-brisas original; deve investir-se no para-brisas acessível, um pouco maior.
