Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 690 Duke 2018

Si l'on considère le point de départ de la famille KTM Duke, la 690 Duke représente un progrès incroyable. Le moteur est extrêmement raffiné et en même temps très puissant pour un monocylindre homologué pour la route. Malgré toute la technologie embarquée, elle reste une moto très légère et peut presque être considérée comme un jouet (dans le bon sens du terme). Seule sa position de conduite divise les opinions, car les supermotos d'autrefois sont devenues avec la Duke 4 en 2012 une naked bike presque docile avec une position de conduite orientée vers la roue avant. L'avantage : le quotidien et les longues randonnées ne devraient pas poser de problème sur la Duke actuelle.
Yamaha MT-07 2020

La MT-07 est une magnifique machine de plaisir qui se laisse conduire de manière extrêmement sportive. Les freins sont très puissants et le moteur est actuellement de loin le plus agile de sa catégorie - et peut-être même plus. La maniabilité légère s'y prête parfaitement et le châssis fait un compromis compréhensible entre le confort et le sport - rappelant ainsi que la MT-07 bon marché doit aussi avoir beaucoup à offrir aux débutants. Seul le design, avec son phare halogène et sa fourche conventionnelle, est déjà assez démodé.
