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-09 2016
La Yamaha MT-09 n'a pas eu besoin d'être réinventée pour la saison à venir - elle l'a déjà été extrêmement bien il y a à peine quatre ans. Au lieu de cela, les Japonais ont misé sur un réglage fin et l'ajout de gadgets pratiques, adaptés à l'époque, comme le contrôle de traction et le changement de vitesse automatique. La norme Euro4 a une fois de plus modifié la gestion du moteur qui, en mode standard, offre un développement de la puissance certes puissant, mais bien contrôlable. Le plus grand changement, reconnaissable au premier coup d'œil, est le design, à mon avis très réussi, avec l'avant plus agressif et l'arrière redessiné. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit donc d'une naked bike encore plus élégante, qui a clairement été construite pour le plaisir de conduire une moto.
