Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2015

Dans le segment des grosses cylindrées, la Suzuki V-Strom 1000 occupe la position de l'offre la plus avantageuse, sans pour autant devoir renoncer à quoi que ce soit - même un contrôle de traction et un ABS sont fournis de série. D'excellents freins, un confort exceptionnel et un moteur bicylindre en V merveilleusement puissant sont des ingrédients qui devraient plaire à presque tout le monde. Le fait qu'elle ne joue pas dans la cour des grands avec ses 100 ch est compensé par le magnifique déploiement de puissance qui assure un climat détendu lors des longs voyages. Seule la protection contre le vent n'est pas optimale avec le pare-brise d'origine, il faudrait alors investir dans un pare-brise abordable et un peu plus grand.
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

La légende est de retour, affirmait Honda avec force - mais la mission est réussie au plus haut point, l'Africa Twin, au nom plutôt encombrant de CRF1000L Africa Twin, est une enduro très maniable et d'une excellente maniabilité, qui fonctionne bien sur tous les terrains. Même sur la terre et les single trails, où une maniabilité simple est évidemment très importante. Avec 95 ch, il lui manque certes 65 ch par rapport à l'élite, mais pour une maniabilité aussi équilibrée, il n'en faut pas plus. La CRF1000L Africa Twin est même sans concurrence sur un point : elle peut être commandée avec une boîte de vitesses à double embrayage DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
