Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 690 Duke 2016

Il est incroyable de voir à quel point KTM a développé un monocylindre cultivé, sans pour autant renoncer à la puissance. On peut considérer comme un coup de génie le fait que, dans le cadre de la norme EURO4, la régularité de marche du moteur ait été améliorée tout en augmentant la puissance. La courbe de couple plate est responsable de la propulsion régulière et puissante. Dès 4000 tours, la Duke pousse vigoureusement et monte jusqu'à 8500 tours. Même à bas régime, le moteur ne bégaie pas et n'avale pas, ce qui est un avantage en ville. La plus grande force de la Duke, outre sa conduite, est sa maniabilité, c'est pourquoi on peut la qualifier de jouet. Ce n'est que lorsqu'on l'utilise sur une piste de course et que l'on attaque fort que l'on souhaite à un moment donné avoir la "R" sous le derrière.
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.
