Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
BMW S 1000 R 2015
Sur la BMW S 1000 R, on remarque à la fois la parenté étroite avec la Superbike S 1000 RR et la volonté de doter la machine d'un niveau de confort élevé pour la route et le quotidien. Le moteur quatre cylindres de 1000 cm3 se met donc au travail de manière brutale, tout en restant bien contrôlable, et la position de conduite est par conséquent confortable et sportive. Le fait que la S 1000 R soit l'une des power naked bikes les plus abordables est surprenant et réjouissant, mais il ne faut pas pour autant mettre la main sur la liste des équipements spéciaux - car grâce aux nombreuses caractéristiques irrésistibles, elle sera certainement plus chère.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016
KTM ne connaît pas de retour en arrière et KTM ne connaît pas de pardon. C'est pourquoi la nouvelle 1290 Super Duke R est certes un peu plus maniable que sa devancière, mais aussi un peu plus puissante et rapide. Dès 2500 tours, plus de 100 Nm sont disponibles, le maximum est de 141, la puissance maximale est indiquée à 177 CV. Cela peut être trop, mais pas forcément. L'électronique reste le parachute de secours dans cette catégorie où le développement continue d'avancer à grands pas. KTM a commencé là où il y avait des difficultés, c'est-à-dire la stabilité. Les modifications apportées à la géométrie et au châssis l'ont nettement améliorée, ce qui rend la chevauchée de la bête non seulement plus rapide, mais aussi plus sûre. La maniabilité n'en est pas moins radicale et les gènes du supermotard sont plus visibles que sur n'importe quelle autre moto naked. Il ne peut y avoir qu'une seule Super Duke.
