Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2018
La Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 est un véritable point fort de la saison 2018. Son allure est unique et la technique sous son joli design est également remarquable. La combinaison des 75 ch du fameux monocylindre et d'un Quickschifter à l'excellent passage des vitesses procure un plaisir fou sur la route. Le moteur a toutefois besoin de vitesse et la position de conduite ne plaira pas à tout le monde. La Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 est donc une moto à laquelle il faut se consacrer entièrement. Mais si l'on y parvient, le plaisir est garanti.
KTM 690 Duke 2019
Si l'on considère le point de départ de la famille KTM Duke, la 690 Duke représente un progrès incroyable. Le moteur est extrêmement raffiné et en même temps très puissant pour un monocylindre homologué pour la route. Malgré toute la technologie embarquée, elle reste une moto très légère et peut presque être considérée comme un jouet (dans le bon sens du terme). Seule sa position de conduite divise les opinions, car les supermotos d'autrefois sont devenues avec la Duke 4 en 2012 une naked bike presque docile avec une position de conduite orientée vers la roue avant. L'avantage : le quotidien et les longues randonnées ne devraient pas poser de problème sur la Duke actuelle.
