Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z900 2018

Dans le segment très concurrentiel des naked bikes, la Z900 joue dans la cour des grands. Son moteur, en particulier, est absolument grandiose, incroyablement soyeux et offre une puissance élevée à tous les régimes - comme il se doit pour un quatre cylindres japonais. Son look sportif et agressif s'y prête bien. Elle renonce aux fioritures électroniques, mais offre néanmoins une grande sécurité dans les virages, au freinage et en sortie d'accélération. La selle basse profite surtout aux petits pilotes, mais les grands pilotes pourraient regretter un angle du genou plus plat sur les longs trajets. Le faible poids et la compacité de la Z900 la rendent particulièrement maniable et facile à manier. Un canon sportif dont le prix est également très attractif
Kawasaki Z650 2020

La nouvelle Z650 de Kawasaki est tout simplement un paquet complet. Les composants techniques ne sont peut-être pas à la hauteur, mais combinés entre eux, ils donnent une moto agréablement neutre, avec laquelle tout le monde aura beaucoup de plaisir. Pas de bizarreries - simplement une moto naked qui fonctionne vraiment bien sur les routes de campagne sinueuses. L'écran TFT, que nous ne trouvons pas encore chez la concurrence, ainsi que l'aspect adulte, qui s'inspire fortement des modèles Z plus grands, sont bien sûr des atouts supplémentaires. Seul le point de pression du frein avant aurait pu être plus clairement défini - mais dans cette catégorie de prix, on ne peut pas tout avoir.
