Yamaha MT-10 2017

La Yamaha MT-10 dégage beaucoup d'émotion avec son superbe moteur CP4, mais n'en oublie pas pour autant son utilité pragmatique. Pour une nakedbike, elle offre beaucoup de confort lors des longs trajets. Elle se déplace rapidement, tout en restant cultivée à tout moment. Sur les pistes de course, le châssis n'est pas assez précis pour battre les autres Powernakeds. Mais dans l'ensemble, elle marque des points grâce à sa polyvalence associée à un look radical et à un son génial.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016

KTM ne connaît pas de retour en arrière et KTM ne connaît pas de pardon. C'est pourquoi la nouvelle 1290 Super Duke R est certes un peu plus maniable que sa devancière, mais aussi un peu plus puissante et rapide. Dès 2500 tours, plus de 100 Nm sont disponibles, le maximum est de 141, la puissance maximale est indiquée à 177 CV. Cela peut être trop, mais pas forcément. L'électronique reste le parachute de secours dans cette catégorie où le développement continue d'avancer à grands pas. KTM a commencé là où il y avait des difficultés, c'est-à-dire la stabilité. Les modifications apportées à la géométrie et au châssis l'ont nettement améliorée, ce qui rend la chevauchée de la bête non seulement plus rapide, mais aussi plus sûre. La maniabilité n'en est pas moins radicale et les gènes du supermotard sont plus visibles que sur n'importe quelle autre moto naked. Il ne peut y avoir qu'une seule Super Duke.
