Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z900 2020

La Kawasaki Z900 n'est peut-être plus tout à fait à la hauteur en ce qui concerne les caractéristiques électroniques modernes dépendant de l'inclinaison, mais elle est relativement bon marché et il ne faut surtout pas sous-estimer la communauté des fans du bon vieux quatre cylindres en ligne - la Z900 est l'une des possibilités les plus avantageuses de posséder un moteur aussi formidable d'une cylindrée d'à peine un litre dans une naked bike sportive ! Le poids plus élevé est perceptible, mais pas massivement gênant, car la maniabilité et la stabilité sont tout à fait correctes. En ce qui concerne l'électronique "dépassée", le plus dérangeant est l'absence d'assistant de changement de vitesse, qui n'est même pas disponible en option. Mais dans l'ensemble, la Z900 est une superbe moto naked avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

La version 1 litre du Neo Sport Cafe Racer montre que le juste milieu n'est pas toujours nécessaire. Il faut dire honnêtement que le plus grand de tous les représentants est aussi celui qui se sent le plus "adulte". Les caractéristiques / options électroniques de la variante + de la 1000 ne laissent presque rien à désirer et la maniabilité est particulièrement agréable pour cette catégorie. Un cornering ludique avec un châssis bien réglé, des freins mordants et un poids réduit semblent être la recette du succès de la facilité de conduite. En matière de puissance, la CB1000R+ doit malheureusement faire des concessions : avec 145 ch, la Honda n'est pas une fusée brachiale, mais elle est d'autant plus contrôlable. Et 145 ch pour 213 kg avec le plein, c'est plus que suffisant sur la route pour un plaisir de conduire maximal !
