Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z900 2020

La Kawasaki Z900 n'est peut-être plus tout à fait à la hauteur en ce qui concerne les caractéristiques électroniques modernes dépendant de l'inclinaison, mais elle est relativement bon marché et il ne faut surtout pas sous-estimer la communauté des fans du bon vieux quatre cylindres en ligne - la Z900 est l'une des possibilités les plus avantageuses de posséder un moteur aussi formidable d'une cylindrée d'à peine un litre dans une naked bike sportive ! Le poids plus élevé est perceptible, mais pas massivement gênant, car la maniabilité et la stabilité sont tout à fait correctes. En ce qui concerne l'électronique "dépassée", le plus dérangeant est l'absence d'assistant de changement de vitesse, qui n'est même pas disponible en option. Mais dans l'ensemble, la Z900 est une superbe moto naked avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2019

La Yamaha MT-09 est la version améliorée d'une moto naked de classe moyenne déjà très bonne. Avec de meilleurs composants de suspension Öhlins et Kayaba, une peinture plus jolie et un prix raisonnablement plus élevé, la version SP est clairement le choix le plus sportif de la gamme Yamaha MT-09. L'attaque brutale du moteur ne permet pas de conduire la MT-09 SP en toute tranquillité, mais sur la "Special", ce n'est pas nécessaire - le plaisir est clairement au premier plan !
