Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015

La nouvelle Ducati Multistrada 1200 S est une réédition tout à fait réussie de la moto d'aventure à vocation extra-sportive. Les faiblesses de son prédécesseur ont manifestement été analysées avec précision et corrigées : grâce au système DVT, le moteur fonctionne désormais de manière harmonieuse même à bas régime et la position d'assise est désormais plus adaptée aux pilotes qui recherchent le confort. L'électronique a été massivement mise à jour, aucune autre moto d'aventure n'est équipée de manière aussi complète. En commençant par les multiples modes réglables qui concernent le développement de la puissance et le châssis, le frein et l'ABS en virage fonctionnent également au plus haut niveau. La Multisrtrada 1200 "normale" renonce certes à certains gadgets électroniques, mais elle est aussi plus avantageuse et ne se comporte pas vraiment plus mal.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2021

Dans l'ensemble, la KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, adaptée aux longs trajets, est faite pour les voyages à deux, le pilote n'ayant presque jamais à se demander où il va aller. Elle apprécie tout autant les tronçons d'autoroute, les passages rapides sur les routes de campagne ou les routes de col sinueuses dans les épingles les plus étroites que les chemins non goudronnés avec parfois des passages en gravier plus grossiers, où c'est avant tout le pilote ou sa routine qui décide jusqu'où il peut aller. C'est là que la maniabilité améliorée par rapport au modèle précédent, grâce au réservoir (et donc au centre de gravité) abaissé, marque des points. Le châssis électronique s'accommode parfaitement des surfaces changeantes d'un voyage et transmet toujours de la transparence, le moteur de la souveraineté dans toutes les situations. Ready to race, en somme - ou bien : prêt pour la course au long cours !
