Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015
La 1290 Super Adventure est présentée par KTM, à juste titre, comme le fleuron de l'aventure. Bourrée d'électronique sophistiquée et de presque tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin dans une moto d'aventure de grande taille, elle est recommandée, comme on pouvait s'y attendre, pour les longs voyages. Ce que l'on ne voit pas tout de suite avec son apparence massive, c'est que la Super Adventure est, comme ses sœurs 1190, une machine incroyablement amusante. C'est surtout dans les épingles étroites qu'elle procure un plaisir incroyable. L'électronique règle la traction, le châssis et la gestion du moteur de manière si discrète que l'on peut se concentrer entièrement et surtout en toute sécurité sur l'accélération. Dans les lignes droites intermédiaires, la puissance de 160 ch permet à la 1290 Super Adventure de répondre à des exigences sportives et d'être ainsi très universelle.
Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015
La nouvelle Ducati Multistrada 1200 S est une réédition tout à fait réussie de la moto d'aventure à vocation extra-sportive. Les faiblesses de son prédécesseur ont manifestement été analysées avec précision et corrigées : grâce au système DVT, le moteur fonctionne désormais de manière harmonieuse même à bas régime et la position d'assise est désormais plus adaptée aux pilotes qui recherchent le confort. L'électronique a été massivement mise à jour, aucune autre moto d'aventure n'est équipée de manière aussi complète. En commençant par les multiples modes réglables qui concernent le développement de la puissance et le châssis, le frein et l'ABS en virage fonctionnent également au plus haut niveau. La Multisrtrada 1200 "normale" renonce certes à certains gadgets électroniques, mais elle est aussi plus avantageuse et ne se comporte pas vraiment plus mal.
