Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Suzuki GSX-8S 2023

Pendant des années, Suzuki a été la marque qui proposait des motos sympas avec un bon rapport qualité/prix. Avec la Suzuki GSX-8S, on se présente avec beaucoup plus d'assurance. Elle se présente comme une moto de qualité, sophistiquée et se place en tête d'une catégorie très disputée. Les données de performance peu spectaculaires et le poids relativement élevé n'assombrissent que brièvement le tableau. Lors des essais, la Suzuki convainc pleinement. Une vraie bonne moto.
Ducati Monster SP 2023

La version SP est certes la plus chère, mais aussi la meilleure Ducati Monster. Tout s'accorde parfaitement, parce que c'est typiquement sportif chez Ducati. La suspension Öhlins entièrement réglable (donc aussi la fourche en or suédois !) remplit parfaitement son rôle, le système de freinage Brembo Stylema est puissant mais pas désagréable et la position de conduite, bien que sportive, est toujours agréable grâce à son orientation un peu plus vers l'avant. Même le moteur s'intègre très bien dans le concept de ce naked bike de classe moyenne très sportif - il ne demande qu'à être tourné et fournit le plus de puissance en haut. Si l'on cherche un défaut au Monster SP, il s'agit surtout des à-coups du V2 à bas régime, mais les vrais fans du moteur V2 à 90° ne s'en plaignent pas. Le prix n'est pas non plus un obstacle, les Italiens font payer assez cher les performances de la version SP.
