Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2020

A-t-on besoin de 175 ch ou même d'un launch control dans une moto de tourisme ? Bien sûr que non. Est-ce que c'est amusant ? Définitivement ! Même si la Super Duke GT ne peut pas cacher ses gènes et que, malgré son poids à sec de 209 kg, elle est incontestablement une Duke en ce qui concerne l'agilité et l'envie de prendre des virages, elle permet néanmoins de cruiser en toute décontraction, à condition bien sûr d'avoir une certaine "maturité" avec de telles données de puissance. Car contrairement à la Super Duke R ou à une 890 Duke R, elle ne me suggère pas constamment le couteau entre les limites, mais plutôt un sentiment de souveraineté, selon la devise "je peux, mais je ne dois pas". Et tout cela avec un équipement de série somptueux ou comme on est en droit de l'attendre d'une moto à 22 499 euros en Autriche ou 19 053 euros en Allemagne.
BMW S 1000 XR 2017

Avec son moteur Supersport qui développe désormais 165 ch, associé à la géométrie et au confort d'une Bigenduro, la S 1000 XR fait partie des motos les plus rapides sur la voie publique. La vaste gamme d'accessoires la rend encore plus rapide ou plus confortable, selon les besoins. Avec une hauteur de selle de 840 mm et un entrejambe long, elle est toutefois peu adaptée aux pilotes de petite taille. La selle de 790 mm de haut y remédie toutefois. Les freins sont aussi puissants que le moteur, la XR convainc par sa précision et surtout sa stabilité. Malgré une performance folle, on se sent bien et en sécurité, comme on l'attend d'une BMW.
