Kawasaki Z900 2019
La nouvelle Kawasaki Z900 n'a heureusement rien perdu de son essence avec l'utilisation de l'électronique. Elle est et reste une nakedbike de classe moyenne ludique à utiliser, qui maîtrise en même temps de manière grandiose les allures rapides sur les routes de campagne. Le plaisir de conduire et l'aptitude à l'usage quotidien sont élevés, les aides à la conduite désormais intégrées offrent un plus en matière de sécurité. Vos adversaires auront désormais la vie dure.
Yamaha MT-09 2017
En conclusion, après plusieurs arrêts tout au long de la saison, je peux dire que le résultat est excellent. Notre MT-09 est parfaite, tant en termes de performances que d'esthétique. Le châssis a probablement été notre point le plus important. Alors qu'il y avait auparavant beaucoup (trop) de mouvement à l'arrière dans les virages rapides, il a été repassé sans sourciller. L'amortisseur STX 46 monté est assez ferme dans sa conception de base, mais il se débrouille sans problème au quotidien sans être désagréable. Grâce aux possibilités de réglage généreuses, il y a de toute façon encore de la marge pour les préférences individuelles et l'utilisation. La fonction de la cartouche NIX 30 est également impressionnante. La réactivité s'est nettement améliorée, surtout en charge. De même, il y a maintenant beaucoup plus de réserve disponible lors du freinage sur piste. Là où, avec le réglage d'origine, la fourche se bloquait et déclenchait l'ABS en cas de freinages violents, le freinage se poursuit désormais efficacement. De plus, la MT-09 suit désormais la ligne visée dans le rayon de virage comme si elle était seule - un vrai plaisir. La vue et le son du système complet Akrapovic sont également un pur plaisir, et le fait qu'il en résulte encore quelques chevaux de plus se ressent surtout dans le tiers supérieur du régime. La roue avant s'élance encore plus volontiers dans la galerie en 2e et 3e vitesse.
