Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2015
Dans le segment des grosses cylindrées, la Suzuki V-Strom 1000 occupe la position de l'offre la plus avantageuse, sans pour autant devoir renoncer à quoi que ce soit - même un contrôle de traction et un ABS sont fournis de série. D'excellents freins, un confort exceptionnel et un moteur bicylindre en V merveilleusement puissant sont des ingrédients qui devraient plaire à presque tout le monde. Le fait qu'elle ne joue pas dans la cour des grands avec ses 100 ch est compensé par le magnifique déploiement de puissance qui assure un climat détendu lors des longs voyages. Seule la protection contre le vent n'est pas optimale avec le pare-brise d'origine, il faudrait alors investir dans un pare-brise abordable et un peu plus grand.
KTM 1090 Adventure 2018
La KTM 1090 Adventure est un grand pas en avant par rapport à son prédécesseur, la 1050 Adventure, en direction de ses grandes sœurs. Le package électronique avec les Riding Modes réglables, le contrôle de traction et l'ABS reste certes à un niveau déjà élevé, mais le moteur développe désormais 125 ch, soit environ un tiers ( !) de plus que la 1050. Ce qui est presque plus important, c'est qu'il peut désormais tirer librement jusqu'à plus de 10 000 tours et offre ainsi une plage de régime plus exploitable. Il est difficile de trouver une moto plus équilibrée dans la catégorie des grandes enduros de voyage encore à peu près abordables.
