Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
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...

Sur les photos, la Triumph Speed Twin 1200 donne l'impression d'être une moto somptueuse mais aussi puissante. Pourtant, dès que l'on s'assoit pour l'essayer, elle devient étroite et gracile. Lors de l'essai, elle va encore plus loin. C'est une moto accessible et facile à conduire. En fait, elle est petite, compacte et poussive. Un bon choix si tu veux rouler avec 1200 cm3 et 97 CV et que tu as toujours pensé que c'était beaucoup trop. Dans le détail, la Triumph est belle et bien finie. Une moto qui fait chaud au cœur.
