Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
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.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018
Le surnom de "Beast" n'est pas totalement usurpé, la KTM est et reste une naked bike brutale - 177 ch issus de deux pots d'une cylindrée totale de 1301 cm3 n'ont rien d'anodin. Pourtant, elle est étonnamment facile à maîtriser, grâce à sa position de conduite droite combinée à une bonne maniabilité, elle semble presque docile. Par rapport à son prédécesseur, elle a été améliorée avec précision sur ses principaux points faibles. Le moteur tourne désormais plus calmement, l'assistant de changement de vitesse apporte de la sérénité lors des phases d'accélération et le châssis a gagné en qualité. Mais elle aime toujours plus la course effrénée que la vitesse élevée dans les longs virages.
