Yamaha SCR950 2017

Avec la nouvelle SCR950, la vaste gamme de motos rétro "Faster Sons" s'élargit encore. Une moto minimaliste extrêmement réussie sur le plan visuel, avec de magnifiques éléments de scrambler. En roulant, on ne remarque sur l'asphalte qu'en raison de l'angle d'inclinaison maximum réduit que le cruiser XV950 sert de base. En revanche, le moteur s'en sort bien et les freins, avec un disque de 298 à l'avant et un autre à l'arrière, font de leur mieux. En off-road, les éléments de suspension s'affaissent toutefois assez rapidement en raison du poids élevé de 252 kilos. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une interprétation intéressante et très fine d'un scrambler de la première heure.

La Desert Sled n'est certes pas conçue pour une utilisation tout-terrain intensive, mais pour des parties de plaisir sur des routes de gravier et sur des off-roads légers. Avec son cadre renforcé, sa grande roue avant de 19" et ses éléments de suspension entièrement réglables, elle tient compte des exigences de son nouveau domaine d'utilisation, la hauteur de selle de 860 millimètres (840 millimètres avec une selle plus basse) laisse également entrevoir que les chevauchées tout-terrain ne sont pas totalement absurdes. La Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled se présente de la même manière, sans pour autant négliger l'esprit du style de vie. Heureusement, la grille des phares du nouveau Scrambler est homologuée, tout comme les ailes hautes.
