Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Yamaha XSR900 2016
La XSR900 allie les performances d'un streetfighter sportif à l'esthétique d'un naked bike rétro aux finitions soignées. Pour ce faire, les Japonais se servent de leur propre histoire, qui se trouve concentrée et sans faille dans les archives de l'agence de design travaillant depuis 60 ans pour Yamaha. Elle reprend les vertus de la MT-09 et a corrigé quelques-unes de ses faiblesses. Elle se conduit de manière plus harmonieuse, plus contrôlée et, si on le souhaite, plus détendue. Seul le confort, et donc le pilote, souffre de la fermeté du châssis sur les mauvaises routes. Il faut être capable de souffrir un tout petit peu avec un néo-classique.
Kawasaki Z900 RS 2018
Son quatre cylindres est doux comme de la soie et fournit en même temps suffisamment de puissance pour faire sourire sous le casque.

C'est une superbe nakedbike à l'allure élégante.
