Ducati Monster 1200 S 2020

Le bicylindre Testastretta de 1200 cm3 refroidi par eau de la Ducati Monster génère une puissance de 147 ch et un couple de 124 Nm. Tu es ainsi plus que bien motorisé dans toutes les situations de la vie sur la route ! Le concept global d'un poids total en ordre de marche de 213 kg, combiné à une suspension Öhlins de haute qualité et à des systèmes d'assistance de pointe, fait de cette moto une naked presque parfaite. Un design classique et intemporel associé à des composants modernes font de cette beauté italienne un "tuyau" à l'époque des fusées 200 CV + Hyper Naked Bike ! Il faut faire de petits compromis au niveau du pare-brise et du Quickshifter. Ce dernier nécessite un petit temps d'adaptation personnel.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018

Le surnom de "Beast" n'est pas totalement usurpé, la KTM est et reste une naked bike brutale - 177 ch issus de deux pots d'une cylindrée totale de 1301 cm3 n'ont rien d'anodin. Pourtant, elle est étonnamment facile à maîtriser, grâce à sa position de conduite droite combinée à une bonne maniabilité, elle semble presque docile. Par rapport à son prédécesseur, elle a été améliorée avec précision sur ses principaux points faibles. Le moteur tourne désormais plus calmement, l'assistant de changement de vitesse apporte de la sérénité lors des phases d'accélération et le châssis a gagné en qualité. Mais elle aime toujours plus la course effrénée que la vitesse élevée dans les longs virages.
