Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Yamaha XSR900 2016

La XSR900 allie les performances d'un streetfighter sportif à l'esthétique d'un naked bike rétro aux finitions soignées. Pour ce faire, les Japonais se servent de leur propre histoire, qui se trouve concentrée et sans faille dans les archives de l'agence de design travaillant depuis 60 ans pour Yamaha. Elle reprend les vertus de la MT-09 et a corrigé quelques-unes de ses faiblesses. Elle se conduit de manière plus harmonieuse, plus contrôlée et, si on le souhaite, plus détendue. Seul le confort, et donc le pilote, souffre de la fermeté du châssis sur les mauvaises routes. Il faut être capable de souffrir un tout petit peu avec un néo-classique.
Ducati Monster SP 2023

La version SP est certes la plus chère, mais aussi la meilleure Ducati Monster. Tout s'accorde parfaitement, parce que c'est typiquement sportif chez Ducati. La suspension Öhlins entièrement réglable (donc aussi la fourche en or suédois !) remplit parfaitement son rôle, le système de freinage Brembo Stylema est puissant mais pas désagréable et la position de conduite, bien que sportive, est toujours agréable grâce à son orientation un peu plus vers l'avant. Même le moteur s'intègre très bien dans le concept de ce naked bike de classe moyenne très sportif - il ne demande qu'à être tourné et fournit le plus de puissance en haut. Si l'on cherche un défaut au Monster SP, il s'agit surtout des à-coups du V2 à bas régime, mais les vrais fans du moteur V2 à 90° ne s'en plaignent pas. Le prix n'est pas non plus un obstacle, les Italiens font payer assez cher les performances de la version SP.
