Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 2016
La Yamaha MT-09 n'a pas eu besoin d'être réinventée pour la saison à venir - elle l'a déjà été extrêmement bien il y a à peine quatre ans. Au lieu de cela, les Japonais ont misé sur un réglage fin et l'ajout de gadgets pratiques, adaptés à l'époque, comme le contrôle de traction et le changement de vitesse automatique. La norme Euro4 a une fois de plus modifié la gestion du moteur qui, en mode standard, offre un développement de la puissance certes puissant, mais bien contrôlable. Le plus grand changement, reconnaissable au premier coup d'œil, est le design, à mon avis très réussi, avec l'avant plus agressif et l'arrière redessiné. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit donc d'une naked bike encore plus élégante, qui a clairement été construite pour le plaisir de conduire une moto.
KTM 690 Duke 2016
Il est incroyable de voir à quel point KTM a développé un monocylindre cultivé, sans pour autant renoncer à la puissance. On peut considérer comme un coup de génie le fait que, dans le cadre de la norme EURO4, la régularité de marche du moteur ait été améliorée tout en augmentant la puissance. La courbe de couple plate est responsable de la propulsion régulière et puissante. Dès 4000 tours, la Duke pousse vigoureusement et monte jusqu'à 8500 tours. Même à bas régime, le moteur ne bégaie pas et n'avale pas, ce qui est un avantage en ville. La plus grande force de la Duke, outre sa conduite, est sa maniabilité, c'est pourquoi on peut la qualifier de jouet. Ce n'est que lorsqu'on l'utilise sur une piste de course et que l'on attaque fort que l'on souhaite à un moment donné avoir la "R" sous le derrière.
