Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2020
La Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX est plus une évolution qu'une révolution - mais que faut-il réinventer, même pour une moto de tourisme sportive équilibrée ? Mais le nouveau nom est tout à fait justifié, avec les nombreuses nouvelles caractéristiques rendues possibles entre autres par le système Ride-by-Wire, la moto de tourisme sportif est absolument à la hauteur. L'ABS en virage, le contrôle de traction moderne et les modes de conduite garantissent la sécurité et les possibilités de réglage en fonction des préférences personnelles, l'assistant de changement de vitesse favorise aussi bien le sport que le tourisme. De plus, le prix est canon (du moins en Autriche) !
BMW R 1250 RS 2021
Un super moteur dans une jolie robe ne fait pas tout. L'équipement de série de la BMW R 1250 RS déçoit, il n'inclut ni Quickshifter ni régulateur de vitesse, en 2021, ce n'est plus d'actualité. Sur le plan ergonomique, la Bavaroise s'adapte à presque tous les pilotes. Le châssis ESA est génial et constitue un atout, surtout si l'on roule à deux. Dans les virages serrés, les kilos de la RS sont indiscutables, elle semble presque lente. Plus les rayons sont larges, plus on est à l'aise sur la BMW. La protection contre le vent et les intempéries est bonne, même si un pare-brise un peu plus haut serait souhaitable.
