Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2022
Pour 2022, la KTM 1290 Super Duke R conserve son caractère brachial si l'on prend la bête par les cornes. Mais l'Hyper Naked de Mattighofen sait aussi convaincre au quotidien et se présente comme un compagnon polyvalent bien rodé. Des petits détails mériteraient un peu d'amour, mais rien qui ne vienne ternir l'impression générale positive de la 1290 Super Duke R.
Suzuki GSX-S950 2021
La "petite" GSX-S950 est sacrément proche de la GSX-S1000, c'est pourquoi il semble que l'on doive justifier le prix élevé de la 1000. Mais celui qui souhaite une conduite aussi sportive que celle de la GSX-S1000 se heurtera déjà à la suspension un peu trop souple et non réglable. Toutefois, cette conception plus confortable de la 950 s'accorde très bien avec le caractère du moteur. En effet, avec (seulement) 95 ch, le moteur, identique à celui de la GSX-S1000, est conçu pour fournir du couple par le bas et au milieu, tirer obstinément n'a guère de sens. Celui qui cherche une naked bike relativement confortable, adaptée à la catégorie A2 et qui se distingue à peine du modèle haut de gamme peut donc économiser beaucoup d'argent !
