Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2023

La Yamaha MT-09 SP avait déjà la vie facile dans la génération précédente, puisqu'il s'agit d'une variante encore plus raffinée d'une machine de plaisir déjà très bonne, car délicieusement agile ! La version SP actuelle ne déroge pas à la règle, mais elle a encore été améliorée dans son ensemble. Un peu plus de puissance, un couple plus élevé et une électronique mieux réglée donnent encore plus de plaisir. Comme on pouvait s'y attendre, le châssis avec des composants KYB et Öhlins plus nobles fonctionne parfaitement, le freinage pourrait être un peu plus incisif, mais la position de conduite correspond toujours à ce que l'on attend d'une telle machine de plaisir agile et facile à contrôler. Les quelques bizarreries comme le petit écran TFT ou le masque lumineux controversé ne la rendent pas moins bonne, mais en font simplement une personnalité encore plus indépendante !
BMW F 900 R 2021

La BMW F 900 R est une moto adulte. 895 cm3, 105 CV et 92Nm sentent bon la polyvalence. La F 900 R remplit pleinement cette promesse. La moto, y compris l'électronique et les composants, fait un excellent travail dans toutes les situations. Mais le cœur de la machine, à savoir le moteur et la transmission, ne brille pas d'un éclat premium.
