Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Ninja 650 2020
Sauvez les motos de tourisme sportif ! Kawasaki réalise avec la Ninja 650 une représentante exemplaire de cette catégorie et veille ainsi (espérons-le) à résoudre le problème de la relève. Le châssis stable et le bon bicylindre enthousiasment aussi bien les débutants que les pilotes confirmés, même à un rythme plus soutenu. Le frein avant a été un peu trop bien pensé : malgré une bonne puissance de freinage, il manque un point de pression transparent. Le plus est l'écran TFT, que nous ne trouvons pas encore chez la concurrence, ainsi que le look adulte qui s'oriente fortement vers les modèles Ninja plus grands.
Aprilia RS 660 2021
L'Aprilia RS 660 peut être considérée en 2021 comme la dernière vraie supersports de 600 cm3, car avec sa position de conduite sportive et ses composants de châssis de haute qualité, elle trouve exactement le juste milieu entre l'aptitude à l'usage quotidien et le potentiel pour les trackdays. Grâce au pack électronique complet, tous les souhaits sont exaucés, aussi bien sur la route que sur la piste - on ne peut de toute façon pas se plaindre du puissant bicylindre. Un excellent package pour tous ceux qui trouvent que les superbikes de plus de 200 chevaux sont trop puissantes pour le quotidien.
