Yamaha MT-09 2021

Les ingrédients de la mise à jour 2021 sont réunis : Plus de puissance, plus d'options, plus d'électronique, moins de poids. Si l'on jette un coup d'œil aux données principales de la dernière MT-09, y compris son équipement de série surcomplet, l'expression "naked bike de classe moyenne" semble presque un peu péjorative. Les ingénieurs japonais ont apporté des améliorations là où c'était nécessaire. Le châssis oscillant appartient désormais au passé et les réactions de changement de charge ont été supprimées du moteur trois cylindres remanié. La puissance supplémentaire associée à une poussée un peu plus forte à mi-régime donne une sensation de conduite souveraine. La MT-09 offre de nombreuses caractéristiques / options et un plaisir de conduire énorme à un prix très attractif. Ceux qui s'accommodent de l'esthétique peuvent l'acheter sans hésiter.
Kawasaki Z900 2023

La Kawasaki Z900 n'est peut-être plus tout à fait à la hauteur en ce qui concerne les caractéristiques électroniques modernes dépendant de l'inclinaison, mais elle est relativement bon marché et il ne faut surtout pas sous-estimer la communauté des fans du bon vieux quatre cylindres en ligne - la Z900 est l'une des possibilités les plus avantageuses de posséder un moteur aussi formidable d'une cylindrée d'à peine un litre dans une naked bike sportive ! Le poids plus élevé est perceptible, mais pas massivement gênant, car la maniabilité et la stabilité sont tout à fait correctes. En ce qui concerne l'électronique "dépassée", le plus dérangeant est l'absence d'assistant de changement de vitesse, qui n'est même pas disponible en option. Mais dans l'ensemble, la Z900 est une superbe moto naked avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
