Kawasaki Versys 1000 2016
La Kawasaki Versys 1000 n'est pas un modèle entièrement nouveau - même si son design en donne l'impression. Son look a été très habilement adapté à la ligne agressive actuelle de Kawasaki, avec deux phares pointus et de nombreuses arêtes à l'avant. Sur le plan technique en revanche, elle a été améliorée avec précaution - mais de manière tout à fait judicieuse. Deux chevaux supplémentaires font passer la puissance à 120 ch, qui se laissent parfaitement conduire grâce à la magnifique caractéristique du quatre cylindres en ligne. Le châssis correspond aux exigences sportives d'une Kawasaki, l'ergonomie et la position de conduite confortable permettent néanmoins de voyager loin - comme le prévoit le cahier des charges d'une grande enduro. Avec des accessoires judicieux comme un set de valises, un top-case, des poignées chauffantes et des phares supplémentaires, la Versys 1000 se transforme en une touriste sérieuse sur de longues distances - le prix de base relativement bas rend ces gadgets tout à fait abordables.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016
La légende est de retour, affirmait Honda avec force - mais la mission est réussie au plus haut point, l'Africa Twin, au nom plutôt encombrant de CRF1000L Africa Twin, est une enduro très maniable et d'une excellente maniabilité, qui fonctionne bien sur tous les terrains. Même sur la terre et les single trails, où une maniabilité simple est évidemment très importante. Avec 95 ch, il lui manque certes 65 ch par rapport à l'élite, mais pour une maniabilité aussi équilibrée, il n'en faut pas plus. La CRF1000L Africa Twin est même sans concurrence sur un point : elle peut être commandée avec une boîte de vitesses à double embrayage DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
