Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z900 2021
En termes de rapport qualité-prix, la Kawasaki Z900 est actuellement difficile à battre. Avec son moteur parfaitement réglé, ses composants de châssis de haute qualité et l'électronique ajoutée pour 2020, cette moto naked offre tout ce que les conducteurs sportifs recherchent. Il n'y a rien à redire, si ce n'est l'absence d'option Quickshifter.
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018
La Yamaha MT-09 SP est la version améliorée d'une moto naked de classe moyenne déjà très bonne. Avec de meilleurs composants de suspension Öhlins et Kayaba, une peinture plus jolie et un prix raisonnablement plus élevé, la version SP est clairement le choix le plus sportif de la gamme Yamaha MT-09. L'attaque brutale du moteur ne permet certes pas de rouler tranquillement avec la MT-09 SP, mais ce n'est pas nécessaire sur la "Special" - le plaisir est clairement au premier plan ! La Yamaha MT-09 EVO avec suspension Wilbers est une alternative intéressante, car elle est très discrète sans "peinture de guerre". Mais malheureusement seulement pour la Suisse...
