Caractéristiques techniques KTM 690 Duke 2016 par rapport à Suzuki SV 650 2016
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 690 Duke 2016

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 Suzuki SV 650 est accompagnée d'une longue histoire pleine de succès, qui durera certainement encore longtemps. Son V2 souple convainc par sa réactivité très douce et son couple élevé. Ses dimensions compactes contribuent à donner à la moto un aspect très compact. Cela conviendra parfaitement aux débutants. Le châssis marque également des points avec une maniabilité ludique. Malheureusement, le freinage n'est pas à la hauteur de ce que l'on attend d'un véhicule aussi puissant.
