Kawasaki Versys 1000 2015

La nouvelle 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.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2017

Ce que la Suzuki V-Strom 1000 faisait déjà très bien auparavant, la nouvelle V-Strom 1000 et la V-Strom 1000XT le font aussi très bien : une moto équilibrée qui, tout en étant bien adaptée aux longs trajets, n'hésite pas à adopter une conduite sportive. À cela s'ajoutent désormais des caractéristiques ultramodernes comme l'ABS en position inclinée et le Combined Brake System, qui rendent la conduite encore plus sûre et plus rapide. Les critiques sont prises au sérieux chez Suzuki, le pare-brise a été agrandi et, conformément à la tendance, une version XT un peu plus tout-terrain de la V-Strom 1000 est désormais disponible, avec des roues à rayons métalliques qui augmentent non seulement la stabilité mais aussi l'aspect cool - surtout avec les jantes dorées de la peinture jaune. Outre tous ces avantages, le prix avantageux reste toujours le killer argument absolu pour la Suzuki V-Strom 1000 / XT.
