Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2010

Le moteur satisfait tous les pilotes d'essai avec un déploiement de puissance merveilleusement linéaire. Cette qualité est toutefois gâchée par un châssis trop souple.
Ducati Panigale V2 2020

La Panigale V2 est pour nous la supersportive de campagne par excellence. Des systèmes d'assistance électroniques sophistiqués qui ne laissent rien à désirer, un moteur Ducati Superquadro bicylindre de 955 cm³ qui, avec ses 155 ch, génère plus que suffisamment de puissance pour la route, une position de conduite agréable et une grande maniabilité. Tout cela caractérise la Panigale V2 et c'est pour cette raison qu'elle est pour nous, à l'heure actuelle, "la" supersportive de campagne, mais elle fait aussi bonne figure sur les pistes de course. La Panigale V2 devrait surtout plaire aux pilotes pour qui 200 ch est une fusée de trop et à tous ceux qui sont tombés sous le charme de cette œuvre d'art sur deux roues.
