Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Yamaha MT-09 2021
Les ingrédients de la mise à jour 2021 sont réunis : Plus de puissance, plus d'options, plus d'électronique, moins de poids. Si l'on jette un coup d'œil aux données principales de la dernière MT-09, y compris son équipement de série surcomplet, l'expression "naked bike de classe moyenne" semble presque un peu péjorative. Les ingénieurs japonais ont apporté des améliorations là où c'était nécessaire. Le châssis oscillant appartient désormais au passé et les réactions de changement de charge ont été supprimées du moteur trois cylindres remanié. La puissance supplémentaire associée à une poussée un peu plus forte à mi-régime donne une sensation de conduite souveraine. La MT-09 offre de nombreuses caractéristiques / options et un plaisir de conduire énorme à un prix très attractif. Ceux qui s'accommodent de l'esthétique peuvent l'acheter sans hésiter.
