Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Kawasaki Z650 2020
La nouvelle Z650 de Kawasaki est tout simplement un paquet complet. Les composants techniques ne sont peut-être pas à la hauteur, mais combinés entre eux, ils donnent une moto agréablement neutre, avec laquelle tout le monde aura beaucoup de plaisir. Pas de bizarreries - simplement une moto naked qui fonctionne vraiment bien sur les routes de campagne sinueuses. L'écran TFT, que nous ne trouvons pas encore chez la concurrence, ainsi que l'aspect adulte, qui s'inspire fortement des modèles Z plus grands, sont bien sûr des atouts supplémentaires. Seul le point de pression du frein avant aurait pu être plus clairement défini - mais dans cette catégorie de prix, on ne peut pas tout avoir.
Yamaha MT-07 2016
La MT-07 est une incroyable machine de plaisir qui se laisse conduire de manière extrêmement sportive. Le moteur est de loin le plus agile de sa catégorie, et même au-delà.
