Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

La Yamaha MT-09 SP est la version améliorée d'une moto naked de classe moyenne déjà très bonne. Avec de meilleurs composants de suspension Öhlins et Kayaba, une peinture plus jolie et un prix raisonnablement plus élevé, la version SP est clairement le choix le plus sportif de la gamme Yamaha MT-09. L'attaque brutale du moteur ne permet certes pas de rouler tranquillement avec la MT-09 SP, mais ce n'est pas nécessaire sur la "Special" - le plaisir est clairement au premier plan ! La Yamaha MT-09 EVO avec suspension Wilbers est une alternative intéressante, car elle est très discrète sans "peinture de guerre". Mais malheureusement seulement pour la Suisse...
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017

Le modèle haut de gamme des Street Triples mérite pleinement son appellation. Plus sportive à tous points de vue que la version R, la RS se présente sur la route comme une machine de plaisir qui n'a que peu d'adversaires à craindre. Les trackdays sur la piste de course sont également un sujet de discussion, d'autant plus que le moteur est très pointu, que le frein Brembo est super sportif et que le châssis avec l'amortisseur Öhlins est merveilleusement précis. La maniabilité est de toute façon une merveille, la Street Triple est toujours la plus légère de sa catégorie. Le Quickshifter de série consolide encore plus la position du modèle haut de gamme.
