Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z900 2018
Dans le segment très concurrentiel des naked bikes, la Z900 joue dans la cour des grands. Son moteur, en particulier, est absolument grandiose, incroyablement soyeux et offre une puissance élevée à tous les régimes - comme il se doit pour un quatre cylindres japonais. Son look sportif et agressif s'y prête bien. Elle renonce aux fioritures électroniques, mais offre néanmoins une grande sécurité dans les virages, au freinage et en sortie d'accélération. La selle basse profite surtout aux petits pilotes, mais les grands pilotes pourraient regretter un angle du genou plus plat sur les longs trajets. Le faible poids et la compacité de la Z900 la rendent particulièrement maniable et facile à manier. Un canon sportif dont le prix est également très attractif
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015
La GSX-S1000 est une moto honnête en termes de performances et de conduite. On obtient même plus que ce qui est indiqué sur le papier, mais pour cela, il faut d'abord que le quatre cylindres en ligne monte en régime. En tant que pilote, on a en tout cas l'impression d'être encore aux commandes, même si la GSX-S n'est plus totalement dépourvue de systèmes d'assistance à la conduite de série - qui fonctionnent très bien. Le contact avec la route est direct, la dynamique est précise et transparente. Ce n'est pas seulement du point de vue du design que cette moto naked peut encore faire plaisir pendant de nombreuses années, la base un peu vieillissante est vite oubliée.
