Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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 2015
La KTM 1290 Super Duke R est sans aucun doute une bête de par ses caractéristiques - 173 ch, 144 newton-mètres de couple, 189 kilos à sec sont des valeurs avec lesquelles on peut faire impression sur le quart de mille. C'est presque un miracle que l'Autrichienne soit si souple et agile malgré ses 1301 cm3 de cylindrée. Sur la route, elle est donc très amusante, mais sur la piste de course, il faut avoir un style de conduite très précis pour ne pas avoir à travailler beaucoup sur la Super Duke R - mais c'est une très belle forme de travail ! De plus, la coûteuse Special Edition marque des points sur le plan visuel avec ses nombreuses pièces de puissance et sa belle peinture.
