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 !
KTM 690 Duke 2019

Si l'on considère le point de départ de la famille KTM Duke, la 690 Duke représente un progrès incroyable. Le moteur est extrêmement raffiné et en même temps très puissant pour un monocylindre homologué pour la route. Malgré toute la technologie embarquée, elle reste une moto très légère et peut presque être considérée comme un jouet (dans le bon sens du terme). Seule sa position de conduite divise les opinions, car les supermotos d'autrefois sont devenues avec la Duke 4 en 2012 une naked bike presque docile avec une position de conduite orientée vers la roue avant. L'avantage : le quotidien et les longues randonnées ne devraient pas poser de problème sur la Duke actuelle.
