Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 690 Duke 2016
Il est incroyable de voir à quel point KTM a développé un monocylindre cultivé, sans pour autant renoncer à la puissance. On peut considérer comme un coup de génie le fait que, dans le cadre de la norme EURO4, la régularité de marche du moteur ait été améliorée tout en augmentant la puissance. La courbe de couple plate est responsable de la propulsion régulière et puissante. Dès 4000 tours, la Duke pousse vigoureusement et monte jusqu'à 8500 tours. Même à bas régime, le moteur ne bégaie pas et n'avale pas, ce qui est un avantage en ville. La plus grande force de la Duke, outre sa conduite, est sa maniabilité, c'est pourquoi on peut la qualifier de jouet. Ce n'est que lorsqu'on l'utilise sur une piste de course et que l'on attaque fort que l'on souhaite à un moment donné avoir la "R" sous le derrière.
Honda CB650R 2019
La CB650R de Honda prouve avec brio que même les naked bikes à quatre cylindres de faible cylindrée sont une véritable source de plaisir sur les routes de campagne. Le réglage du moteur donne suffisamment de poussée dans les virages en épingle et récompense, après une courte attente, par de magnifiques hurlements de quatre cylindres. Les composants du châssis tentent clairement de faire le grand écart entre la vie quotidienne et la sportivité, ce qui explique qu'en cas d'approche rapide dans les épingles, on trouve rapidement de l'agitation dans le véhicule. Mais d'une certaine manière, cette imperfection donne beaucoup de caractère à la Honda et donne au pilote le sentiment de devoir s'intégrer activement dans l'action. Une vraie recommandation pour les coureurs sur routes de campagne qui font quotidiennement la navette entre leur domicile et leur lieu de travail !
