Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z1000 R 2017
Bien sûr, sur le papier, la Z1000R est inférieure aux Powernakeds actuels et, dans un classement classique, elle perd aussi face à la Z900, tout simplement parfaite. MAIS elle reste fascinante à l'état pur. Tout le monde ne l'aimera pas, mais certains l'adoreront. C'est une moto d'homme vraiment masculine, avec un moteur très souverain et un châssis de l'âge d'or des nakedbikes. La Z1000R est toujours une vraie nakedbike de Supersport Gene - avec ses avantages et ses inconvénients.
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015
La GSX-S1000 est une moto honnête en termes de performances et de conduite. On obtient même plus que ce qui est indiqué sur le papier, mais pour cela, il faut d'abord que le quatre cylindres en ligne monte en régime. En tant que pilote, on a en tout cas l'impression d'être encore aux commandes, même si la GSX-S n'est plus totalement dépourvue de systèmes d'assistance à la conduite de série - qui fonctionnent très bien. Le contact avec la route est direct, la dynamique est précise et transparente. Ce n'est pas seulement du point de vue du design que cette moto naked peut encore faire plaisir pendant de nombreuses années, la base un peu vieillissante est vite oubliée.
