Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z900 2023

La Kawasaki Z900 n'est peut-être plus tout à fait à la hauteur en ce qui concerne les caractéristiques électroniques modernes dépendant de l'inclinaison, mais elle est relativement bon marché et il ne faut surtout pas sous-estimer la communauté des fans du bon vieux quatre cylindres en ligne - la Z900 est l'une des possibilités les plus avantageuses de posséder un moteur aussi formidable d'une cylindrée d'à peine un litre dans une naked bike sportive ! Le poids plus élevé est perceptible, mais pas massivement gênant, car la maniabilité et la stabilité sont tout à fait correctes. En ce qui concerne l'électronique "dépassée", le plus dérangeant est l'absence d'assistant de changement de vitesse, qui n'est même pas disponible en option. Mais dans l'ensemble, la Z900 est une superbe moto naked avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

Sur la BMW S 1000 R, on remarque à la fois la parenté étroite avec la Superbike S 1000 RR et la volonté de doter la machine d'un niveau de confort élevé pour la route et le quotidien. Le moteur quatre cylindres de 1000 cm3 se met donc au travail de manière brutale, tout en restant bien contrôlable, et la position de conduite est par conséquent confortable et sportive. Le fait que la S 1000 R soit l'une des power naked bikes les plus abordables est surprenant et réjouissant, mais il ne faut pas pour autant mettre la main sur la liste des équipements spéciaux - car grâce aux nombreuses caractéristiques irrésistibles, elle sera certainement plus chère.
