Kawasaki Z650 2017

Dans la catégorie moyenne, la Kawasaki Z 650 est le tuyau pour les pilotes de petite taille. Sur ses dimensions compactes, les géants ne se sentiront probablement pas plus à l'aise. Des sentiments qui réchauffent le cœur se dégagent toutefois du moteur, qui enthousiasme par ses reprises très régulières. Du côté du châssis, on a opté pour une configuration ferme typique de Kawasaki, qui trouve un super compromis au quotidien. L'écran négatif est très lisible et rappelle celui de la précédente ER-6n - très joli !
Honda CB500F 2016

La nouvelle CB500F se présente, comme ses prédécesseurs bicylindres CB500 et CBF500, comme une moto sophistiquée pour les débutants, les personnes qui reprennent le travail ou pour les trajets quotidiens vers le travail. Grâce au phare à LED moderne et au feu arrière à LED, Honda vit avec son temps et propose ainsi un super package dans la catégorie de permis A2. Avec sa maniabilité agile, elle convainc aussi bien dans le trafic urbain que sur les routes de campagne et, grâce aux retouches apportées au moteur et à la boîte de vitesses, elle fait une figure plus sportive que jamais. Le châssis offre en revanche suffisamment de confort, qui est encore renforcé par le levier de frein réglable.
