Kawasaki Z650 RS 2022

Avec la RS, Kawasaki prouve qu'elle maîtrise l'art des motos rétro.

Yamaha MT-07 2022

Peu de motos de la catégorie dite d'entrée de gamme procurent autant de plaisir que la Yamaha MT-07. Même la version bridée à 48 ch peut, grâce à sa cylindrée relativement importante, tenir plus longtemps que l'on ne pourrait le supposer face à la version complète. Les autres composants s'en sortent également bien, tant les freins que le châssis ne veulent effrayer personne avec trop de dureté, mais n'atteignent pas immédiatement leurs limites, même pour les pilotes les plus sportifs. L'optique est désormais plus cohérente, le phare à LED minimaliste s'accorde parfaitement avec le look anguleux.
