BMW R nineT Scrambler 2016

Il est inutile d'essayer de comprendre pourquoi la R nineT est si populaire, le concept est manifestement parfaitement adapté à notre époque. Reste à savoir si ce style rétro moderne fonctionnera également avec la BMW R nineT Scrambler, une catégorie de prix plus basse. Mais la condition préalable est très bonne, le Scrambler fait confiance au même "vieux" moteur boxer à refroidissement par air, que BMW a miraculeusement rendu compatible avec l'Euro4 sans perte de performance ni de caractère. Le châssis est plus souple, l'empattement plus long et les caractéristiques plus spartiates - mais sous le nom de code Scrambler, cela est tout à fait acceptable, après tout, la conduite confortable est au premier plan. La selle unipersonnelle en option est certes un peu dure, mais la R nineT Scrambler n'est en aucun cas inconfortable, c'est surtout la position d'assise qui convainc pleinement. Celui qui peut vivre avec moins d'options, de l'acier au lieu de l'aluminium et des éléments de suspension plus simples, économise beaucoup d'argent avec la Scrambler - qu'il peut ensuite investir dans un customisation individuelle !
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2015

La KTM 1290 Super Duke R est sans aucun doute une bête de par ses caractéristiques - 173 ch, 144 newton-mètres de couple, 189 kilos à sec sont des valeurs avec lesquelles on peut faire impression sur le quart de mille. C'est presque un miracle que l'Autrichienne soit si souple et agile malgré ses 1301 cm3 de cylindrée. Sur la route, elle est donc très amusante, mais sur la piste de course, il faut avoir un style de conduite très précis pour ne pas avoir à travailler beaucoup sur la Super Duke R - mais c'est une très belle forme de travail ! De plus, la coûteuse Special Edition marque des points sur le plan visuel avec ses nombreuses pièces de puissance et sa belle peinture.
