Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017
La KTM est et reste la nakedbike la plus brutale du marché. La position d'assise droite combinée à la puissance sauvage du V2 la font paraître plus brutale qu'elle ne l'est sur le papier. Elle a été améliorée avec précision sur ses principaux points faibles. Le moteur tourne désormais plus doucement, l'assistant de changement de vitesse apporte du calme lors des phases d'accélération et le châssis a été amélioré. Elle aime toujours autant la course effrénée que la vitesse élevée dans les longs virages.
Yamaha MT-09 2017
En conclusion, après plusieurs arrêts tout au long de la saison, je peux dire que le résultat est excellent. Notre MT-09 est parfaite, tant en termes de performances que d'esthétique. Le châssis a probablement été notre point le plus important. Alors qu'il y avait auparavant beaucoup (trop) de mouvement à l'arrière dans les virages rapides, il a été repassé sans sourciller. L'amortisseur STX 46 monté est assez ferme dans sa conception de base, mais il se débrouille sans problème au quotidien sans être désagréable. Grâce aux possibilités de réglage généreuses, il y a de toute façon encore de la marge pour les préférences individuelles et l'utilisation. La fonction de la cartouche NIX 30 est également impressionnante. La réactivité s'est nettement améliorée, surtout en charge. De même, il y a maintenant beaucoup plus de réserve disponible lors du freinage sur piste. Là où, avec le réglage d'origine, la fourche se bloquait et déclenchait l'ABS en cas de freinages violents, le freinage se poursuit désormais efficacement. De plus, la MT-09 suit désormais la ligne visée dans le rayon de virage comme si elle était seule - un vrai plaisir. La vue et le son du système complet Akrapovic sont également un pur plaisir, et le fait qu'il en résulte encore quelques chevaux de plus se ressent surtout dans le tiers supérieur du régime. La roue avant s'élance encore plus volontiers dans la galerie en 2e et 3e vitesse.
