Kawasaki Z900 RS 2018
Son quatre cylindres est doux comme de la soie et fournit en même temps suffisamment de puissance pour faire sourire sous le casque. De plus, elle est très facile à déplacer, ce qui devrait en faire un excellent véhicule de banlieue au quotidien et un funbike culte le week-end. L'optique trouve le juste milieu entre le design classique et les détails modernes pour former un ensemble rétro cohérent, qui est en même temps un hommage digne de l'histoire de Kawasaki. C'est une superbe nakedbike à l'allure élégante.
Indian FTR 1200 S 2019
Jamais une moto n'a été aussi cool que l'Indian FTR 1200 ! Son style visuel de flat tracker la rend unique et désirable, mais ses pneus rares n'ont aucunement un effet négatif sur sa dynamique de conduite. Cela fait de la FTR 1200 une naked bike facile à conduire, qui fait également bonne figure sur les mauvaises routes. Le moteur est suffisamment puissant, les freins sont bons, la position de conduite est agréable et les performances globales (sur le sec) sont excellentes.
