Caractéristiques techniques KTM 690 Duke 2018 par rapport à Yamaha MT-09 2021
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 2021
Les ingrédients de la mise à jour 2021 sont réunis : Plus de puissance, plus d'options, plus d'électronique, moins de poids. Si l'on jette un coup d'œil aux données principales de la dernière MT-09, y compris son équipement de série surcomplet, l'expression "naked bike de classe moyenne" semble presque un peu péjorative. Les ingénieurs japonais ont apporté des améliorations là où c'était nécessaire. Le châssis oscillant appartient désormais au passé et les réactions de changement de charge ont été supprimées du moteur trois cylindres remanié. La puissance supplémentaire associée à une poussée un peu plus forte à mi-régime donne une sensation de conduite souveraine. La MT-09 offre de nombreuses caractéristiques / options et un plaisir de conduire énorme à un prix très attractif. Ceux qui s'accommodent de l'esthétique peuvent l'acheter sans hésiter.
