Du côté du châssis, on a opté pour une configuration ferme typique de Kawasaki, qui trouve un super compromis au quotidien. L'écran négatif est très lisible et rappelle celui de la précédente ER-6n - très joli !
Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2018

La Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 est un véritable point fort de la saison 2018. Son allure est unique et la technique sous son joli design est également remarquable.

Le moteur a toutefois besoin de vitesse et la position de conduite ne plaira pas à tout le monde. La Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 est donc une moto à laquelle il faut se consacrer entièrement. Mais si l'on y parvient, le plaisir est garanti.
