Kawasaki Z1000 2010

Si certaines donnaient une impression de noblesse au premier abord, les Japonais ont réussi à foutre en l'air toute la moto en montant une seule pièce rance (pot d'échappement, clignotant, bras oscillant, fourche,...). Kawasaki lance la Z 1000 en 2010, toute neuve et toute sérieuse.
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.
