Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-10 SP 2019
La Yamaha MT-10 SP enthousiasme par son haut degré de perfection combiné à une charge d'émotion. Il est rare que les constructeurs japonais parviennent à pénétrer aussi profondément dans le domaine des Européens. La moto se comporte très mal si nécessaire, mais elle peut aussi être utilisée de manière tout à fait civile dans la circulation urbaine. En plus, la suspension Öhlins à réglage électronique offre un grand confort de conduite. En somme, un excellent talent universel qui fait bien plus que paraître méchant.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019
Le surnom de "Beast" n'est pas totalement usurpé, la KTM est et reste une naked bike brutale - 177 ch issus de deux pots d'une cylindrée totale de 1301 cm3 n'ont rien d'anodin. Pourtant, elle est étonnamment facile à maîtriser, grâce à sa position de conduite droite combinée à une bonne maniabilité, elle semble presque docile. Par rapport à son prédécesseur, elle a été améliorée avec précision sur ses principaux points faibles. Le moteur tourne désormais plus calmement, l'assistant de changement de vitesse apporte de la sérénité lors des phases d'accélération et le châssis a gagné en qualité. Mais elle aime toujours plus la course effrénée que la vitesse élevée dans les longs virages.
