Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2020
Avec la nouvelle Superduke 1290 R, KTM a tout fait correctement. La position de conduite plus sportive qui résulte du nouveau cadre est parfaite pour les attaques rapides, le moteur n'a rien perdu de sa violence malgré l'Euro 5, mais il est aussi devenu plus raffiné en combinaison avec une électronique plus sensible.
Kawasaki Z H2 SE 2021
Quelle naked bike ! La Kawasaki Z H2 SE possède une chose qui rend absolument accro : un moteur à compresseur qui fonctionne comme une catapulte à vapeur ! Les 200 chevaux issus d'exactement un litre de cylindrée semblent en effet s'unir dès le ralenti et tirent ensemble sur la chaîne jusqu'au limiteur. On ne peut pas non plus reprocher à la Z H2 SE un manque de stabilité, le châssis à réglage électronique fait du bon travail et procure surtout suffisamment de confort. Avec près de 240 kilos prête à rouler, la Kawa n'est évidemment pas un poids plume et demande à être poussée dans les virages, mais on ne peut pas non plus la qualifier d'encombrante. Un guidon un peu plus large l'aiderait déjà. L'esthétique est bien sûr une question de goût, mais l'avant proéminent offre une protection relativement bonne contre le vent.
