Suzuki GSX-S1000 2021

La structure de base de la nouvelle GSX-S1000 est une vieille connaissance - le moteur et le châssis proviennent toujours de la précédente. Cependant, la machine a été modernisée dans de nombreux domaines et se présente surtout visuellement à un niveau extrêmement élevé. Le moteur ne peut certes pas jouer dans la ligue des hyper-nakeds super-puissants, mais il fonctionne de manière très harmonieuse et suffisamment puissante. Le châssis conventionnel est également un bon compromis entre sportivité et confort. Les arguments de poids sont définitivement le design réussi, le Quickshifter de série avec blipper et enfin le prix relativement bas.

KTM ne connaît pas de retour en arrière et KTM ne connaît pas de pardon. C'est pourquoi la nouvelle 1290 Super Duke R est certes un peu plus maniable que sa devancière, mais aussi un peu plus puissante et rapide. Dès 2500 tours, plus de 100 Nm sont disponibles, le maximum est de 141, la puissance maximale est indiquée à 177 CV. Cela peut être trop, mais pas forcément. L'électronique reste le parachute de secours dans cette catégorie où le développement continue d'avancer à grands pas. KTM a commencé là où il y avait des difficultés, c'est-à-dire la stabilité. Les modifications apportées à la géométrie et au châssis l'ont nettement améliorée, ce qui rend la chevauchée de la bête non seulement plus rapide, mais aussi plus sûre. La maniabilité n'en est pas moins radicale et les gènes du supermotard sont plus visibles que sur n'importe quelle autre moto naked. Il ne peut y avoir qu'une seule Super Duke.
