Kawasaki Vulcan S 2015

La Vulcan S redonne vie à la scène des "petits" cruisers de classe moyenne - et ce non seulement en raison de son design original, mais aussi de sa facilité de conduite qui vise particulièrement les débutants. La hauteur de selle basse et la selle étroite favorisent une bonne stabilité du pilote au sol, tandis que le centre de gravité bas assure une maniabilité simple et sûre. Le moteur s'adapte lui aussi parfaitement à l'allure simple de la moto, il peut monter en régime à partir de 2000 tours et ne s'arrête qu'à environ 10 000 tours - du jamais vu sur un cruiser. Le système "Ergo-Fit", qui fait varier la hauteur de selle, la distance du pilote par rapport au guidon et aux repose-pieds, coûte certes un supplément, mais permet au propriétaire de la Vulcan S de bénéficier de généreuses possibilités de personnalisation.
Honda CMX500 Rebel 2020

Il est toujours fascinant de voir le plaisir de conduire que Honda a mis dans la petite Rebel 500. Grâce au système modulaire, la technique est connue et devrait - typiquement Honda - durer éternellement. Maintenant, avec la mise à jour pour 2020, la petite Rebel se présente plus cool que jamais, car l'éclairage LED et l'édition spéciale en option avec selle surpiquée en font un custom cruiser cool dès l'usine. Seul le frein avant aurait besoin d'un peu plus d'huile de coude et le moteur manque un peu de caractère, même par rapport à la concurrence directe. Malgré tout, elle est et reste un véritable tuyau pour les amateurs de cruiser !
