Caractéristiques techniques Ducati Monster SP 2023 par rapport à Kawasaki Z900 2021
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.
Kawasaki Z900 2021
En termes de rapport qualité-prix, la Kawasaki Z900 est actuellement difficile à battre. Avec son moteur parfaitement réglé, ses composants de châssis de haute qualité et l'électronique ajoutée pour 2020, cette moto naked offre tout ce que les conducteurs sportifs recherchent. Il n'y a rien à redire, si ce n'est l'absence d'option Quickshifter.
