Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Ducati Monster 2021

On peut toujours discuter de l'esthétique et de l'absence de cadre tubulaire en treillis, mais la Monster actuelle est tout sauf laide. En principe, elle ferait une excellente Moto naked de tous les jours, avec une ergonomie agréable et un système de freinage qui ne surprendrait pas les non-initiés. Même la suspension très souple peut être considérée comme un compromis acceptable, mais pour une Ducati, on s'étonne qu'au moins la fourche avant n'ait pas été configurée de manière un peu plus ferme. Malheureusement, le moteur charismatique se cabre fortement à bas régime et ne révèle son magnifique caractère de V2 que sur la route. Mais dans l'ensemble, cela reflète très bien l'image globale du Monster : une Ducati typique qui, en termes de suspensions et de freins, est également bien adaptée à la conduite quotidienne.
KTM 890 Duke R 2021

La KTM 890 Duke R est le niveau d'évolution le plus sportif de la 890 Duke. Plus de puissance, un châssis plus ferme, des freins plus affûtés - ces ingrédients, associés au poids déjà faible du véhicule, en font un véritable engin de précision. Une moto rapide et cool pour les fétichistes du plaisir de conduire, les ambitieux de la conduite endiablée à domicile et, enfin, une vraie recommandation pour les visiteurs des trackdays. Le positionnement sportif du haut du corps et l'angle un peu plus aigu des genoux se font toutefois au détriment du confort. Enfin, la configuration de base de la suspension réglable est vraiment très dure. Ceux qui souhaitent profiter de la puissance du moteur 890 et de l'électronique haut de gamme de manière plus confortable peuvent continuer à choisir le modèle de base en toute bonne conscience.
