Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z650 2017
Dans la catégorie moyenne, la Kawasaki Z 650 est le tuyau pour les pilotes de petite taille. Sur ses dimensions compactes, les géants ne se sentiront probablement pas plus à l'aise. Des sentiments qui réchauffent le cœur se dégagent toutefois du moteur, qui enthousiasme par ses reprises très régulières. 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 !
Honda CB650R 2019
La CB650R de Honda prouve avec brio que même les naked bikes à quatre cylindres de faible cylindrée sont une véritable source de plaisir sur les routes de campagne. Le réglage du moteur donne suffisamment de poussée dans les virages en épingle et récompense, après une courte attente, par de magnifiques hurlements de quatre cylindres. Les composants du châssis tentent clairement de faire le grand écart entre la vie quotidienne et la sportivité, ce qui explique qu'en cas d'approche rapide dans les épingles, on trouve rapidement de l'agitation dans le véhicule. Mais d'une certaine manière, cette imperfection donne beaucoup de caractère à la Honda et donne au pilote le sentiment de devoir s'intégrer activement dans l'action. Une vraie recommandation pour les coureurs sur routes de campagne qui font quotidiennement la navette entre leur domicile et leur lieu de travail !
