Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
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
Yamaha MT-09 2016

La Yamaha MT-09 n'a pas eu besoin d'être réinventée pour la saison à venir - elle l'a déjà été extrêmement bien il y a à peine quatre ans. Au lieu de cela, les Japonais ont misé sur un réglage fin et l'ajout de gadgets pratiques, adaptés à l'époque, comme le contrôle de traction et le changement de vitesse automatique. La norme Euro4 a une fois de plus modifié la gestion du moteur qui, en mode standard, offre un développement de la puissance certes puissant, mais bien contrôlable. Le plus grand changement, reconnaissable au premier coup d'œil, est le design, à mon avis très réussi, avec l'avant plus agressif et l'arrière redessiné. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit donc d'une naked bike encore plus élégante, qui a clairement été construite pour le plaisir de conduire une moto.
