Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2021

Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien, ce proverbe se vérifie une fois de plus de manière impressionnante dans le cas de la nouvelle Triumph Speed Twin. Les Britanniques ont travaillé sur les points faibles de son prédécesseur et ont ainsi transformé cette beauté classique en une véritable machine de conduite qui n'a pas à rougir face aux nakedbikes modernes. Malheureusement, les pilotes de grande taille ne peuvent pas profiter de la petite 1200 aussi facilement que les pilotes de moins de 1,85 mètre. Quoi qu'il en soit, la Speed Twin est pour moi la moto Modern Classic parfaite - elle allie un look classique à une performance de conduite moderne, comme aucune autre moto sur le marché actuellement.
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

La Yamaha MT-09 SP est la version améliorée d'une moto naked de classe moyenne déjà très bonne. Avec de meilleurs composants de suspension Öhlins et Kayaba, une peinture plus jolie et un prix raisonnablement plus élevé, la version SP est clairement le choix le plus sportif de la gamme Yamaha MT-09. L'attaque brutale du moteur ne permet certes pas de rouler tranquillement avec la MT-09 SP, mais ce n'est pas nécessaire sur la "Special" - le plaisir est clairement au premier plan ! La Yamaha MT-09 EVO avec suspension Wilbers est une alternative intéressante, car elle est très discrète sans "peinture de guerre". Mais malheureusement seulement pour la Suisse...
