Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2020
L'Africa Twin est pour moi une moto d'aventure comme une moto d'aventure doit l'être. C'était déjà le cas pour le modèle précédent et cela n'a pas changé avec l'augmentation de la cylindrée et de la puissance. D'une part, parce que la puissance de 102 ch est restée raisonnable et que Honda a même réussi à perdre quelques kilos par rapport à la CRF1000L. Il lui restait donc la polyvalence, elle fonctionne aussi bien sur l'autoroute qu'en off-road. Le châssis absorbe presque toutes les irrégularités, le moteur reste souverain dans toutes les situations, l'ergonomie et le confort d'assise sont exemplaires. Une moto pour tous les jours, mais aussi pour les grands voyages - quelle que soit la destination.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2018
Ce que la Suzuki V-Strom 1000 faisait déjà très bien auparavant, la nouvelle V-Strom 1000 le fait aussi très bien : une moto équilibrée qui, tout en étant bien adaptée aux longs trajets, ne recule pas devant une conduite sportive. À cela s'ajoutent des caractéristiques modernes comme l'ABS et le Combined Brake System, qui rendent la conduite encore plus sûre et plus rapide. Les critiques sont prises au sérieux chez Suzuki, le pare-brise a été agrandi et, conformément à la tendance actuelle, une version XT de la V-Strom 1000, un peu plus adaptée au tout-terrain, est désormais disponible avec des roues à rayons métalliques qui augmentent non seulement la stabilité mais aussi l'aspect cool - surtout avec la peinture jaune. En plus de tous ces avantages, le prix avantageux reste l'argument de vente absolu de la Suzuki V-Strom 1000.
