Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022

Avec le Streetfighter V2, Ducati a modifié la supersport Panigale V2 et l'a rendue plus adaptée à la vie quotidienne. Malgré la proximité visuelle avec le Streetfighter V4, elle possède un caractère propre et des allures qui rendent la vie avec elle un peu difficile, mais en contrepartie intéressante. Le fonctionnement saccadé du moteur à bas régime ne dérange manifestement pas les Ducatistes, qui se réjouissent plutôt des 153 ch qui s'accrochent bien à l'accélérateur, des composants du châssis qui réagissent avec finesse, des freins de qualité et d'un équipement électronique complet - seule la jauge à essence a été oubliée. La Streetfighter V2 s'oriente toutefois vers le haut en matière de prix, à l'instar de ses qualités de conduite, vers les motos hyper-naked.
Kawasaki Z900 RS 2022

La Z900 RS jouit d'une grande communauté de fans et, dans son millésime 2022, elle prouve une fois de plus pourquoi elle est si populaire. Le moteur puissant marque des points grâce à sa force de traction et à sa sonorité agréable, mais pas trop envahissante. La maniabilité est naturelle et ne pose aucun problème. Seul un Quickshifter conviendrait encore à la moto - même si cela ne correspond pas tout à fait à l'idée de rétro.
