Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z650 2017
Dans la catégorie moyenne, la Kawasaki Z 650 est le tuyau pour les pilotes de petite taille. Sur ses dimensions compactes, les géants ne se sentiront probablement pas plus à l'aise. Des sentiments qui réchauffent le cœur se dégagent toutefois du moteur, qui enthousiasme par ses reprises très régulières. Du côté du châssis, on a opté pour une configuration ferme typique de Kawasaki, qui trouve un super compromis au quotidien. L'écran négatif est très lisible et rappelle celui de la précédente ER-6n - très joli !
Suzuki SV650X 2018
Le rétro est très tendance, le rétro est cool. C'est ce qu'ont compris les gens de Suzuki, qui ne lancent certes pas beaucoup de nouveautés sur le marché pour 2018, mais qui en lancent une vraiment sympa : la SV650X. Il n'a pas été nécessaire de changer grand-chose pour la faire entrer dans le cercle des Cafe Racer modernes : L'habillage du phare, la peinture, les carénages latéraux, la selle et les embouts de guidon bas suffisent à obtenir ce résultat. C'est surtout la position de conduite orientée vers la roue avant qui lui va bien, sans pour autant la rendre considérablement moins confortable. Le châssis n'est certes réglable qu'à l'arrière en ce qui concerne la précontrainte des ressorts, mais le moteur poussif est une merveille et le prix est correct.
