Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 690 Duke 2018
Si l'on considère le point de départ de la famille KTM Duke, la 690 Duke représente un progrès incroyable. Le moteur est extrêmement raffiné et en même temps très puissant pour un monocylindre homologué pour la route. Malgré toute la technologie embarquée, elle reste une moto très légère et peut presque être considérée comme un jouet (dans le bon sens du terme). Seule sa position de conduite divise les opinions, car les supermotos d'autrefois sont devenues avec la Duke 4 en 2012 une naked bike presque docile avec une position de conduite orientée vers la roue avant. L'avantage : le quotidien et les longues randonnées ne devraient pas poser de problème sur la Duke actuelle.
Suzuki SV 650 2016
La nouvelle SV650 s'inscrit dans la lignée du minimalisme visuel des deux premières générations de SV650, tout en se basant techniquement sur son prédécesseur direct, la SFV650 Gladius - deux excellents coups qui font de la très moderne SV650 un classique. Le design s'inscrit parfaitement dans l'époque des nombreuses transformations rétro, mais à l'intérieur sommeillent aussi des gadgets modernes qui facilitent l'apprentissage, surtout pour les débutants. Le moteur, quant à lui, peut également convaincre les pilotes confirmés, le vrombissement typique du V2 est magnifique. En ce qui concerne le châssis et les freins, il ne faut pas s'attendre à une sportivité extrême, mais le prix de près de 6400 euros (en Allemagne) est une annonce qui fera sans doute avaler la poussière à la concurrence.
