Yamaha XSR700 2016

Si l'on veut une moto d'entrée de gamme avec laquelle on sera longtemps heureux, mais qui a en même temps un look rétro cool, on ne peut pas passer à côté de la Yamaha XSR 700. Avec la MT-07 comme base technique, on achète probablement la moto pour débutants la plus populaire du moment - mais dans une autre présentation. Le plus grand atout de la XSR 700 est son bicylindre en ligne incroyablement élastique, qui ne surcharge pas les débutants et n'ennuie pas les motards expérimentés. La réponse à l'accélération est agréablement directe et la puissance se déploie de manière très harmonieuse, il n'y a jamais de moment 'hop'. Toutefois, la XSR 700 doit être considérée comme un cruiser décontracté plutôt que comme une moto sportive. Le châssis se cabre très facilement en conduite rapide et apporte de l'insécurité au véhicule. Les pilotes expérimentés s'en sortiront facilement, mais les débutants risquent d'être dépassés.
Kawasaki Z650 2020

La nouvelle Z650 de Kawasaki est tout simplement un paquet complet. Les composants techniques ne sont peut-être pas à la hauteur, mais combinés entre eux, ils donnent une moto agréablement neutre, avec laquelle tout le monde aura beaucoup de plaisir. Pas de bizarreries - simplement une moto naked qui fonctionne vraiment bien sur les routes de campagne sinueuses. L'écran TFT, que nous ne trouvons pas encore chez la concurrence, ainsi que l'aspect adulte, qui s'inspire fortement des modèles Z plus grands, sont bien sûr des atouts supplémentaires. Seul le point de pression du frein avant aurait pu être plus clairement défini - mais dans cette catégorie de prix, on ne peut pas tout avoir.
