Kawasaki Z900 2018

Dans le segment très concurrentiel des naked bikes, la Z900 joue dans la cour des grands. Son moteur, en particulier, est absolument grandiose, incroyablement soyeux et offre une puissance élevée à tous les régimes - comme il se doit pour un quatre cylindres japonais. Son look sportif et agressif s'y prête bien. Elle renonce aux fioritures électroniques, mais offre néanmoins une grande sécurité dans les virages, au freinage et en sortie d'accélération. La selle basse profite surtout aux petits pilotes, mais les grands pilotes pourraient regretter un angle du genou plus plat sur les longs trajets. Le faible poids et la compacité de la Z900 la rendent particulièrement maniable et facile à manier. Un canon sportif dont le prix est également très attractif
