Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-07 2019
La première série MT-07 constituait déjà une base délirante pour une conduite sportive sur des motos naked. Avec le modèle 2018, Yamaha a enfin réussi à mettre tout le potentiel du moteur CP2 sur la route. Mot-clé : châssis. Grâce à de simples interventions, les composants de la suspension disposent désormais du caractère sportif que nous souhaitions depuis longtemps. L'aspect rafraîchi leur donne en outre un air nettement plus adulte. Seuls les tableaux de bord et les unités de commande semblent un peu dépassés - mais on voit ici pourquoi la MT-07 est proposée à un prix aussi compétitif !
KTM 690 Duke 2012
Plus d'une décennie après son lancement, la KTM 690 Duke reste une moto fascinante au caractère original. La tentative de faire de la Duke rebelle une moto plus grand public s'est avérée être une stratégie gagnante. La combinaison d'un moteur LC4 supérieur, d'une maniabilité directe et d'un bon rapport qualité-prix en fait toujours une option attrayante pour les pilotes qui recherchent l'originalité. Bien que les modèles bicylindres plus récents soient supérieurs en termes de fluidité et de confort, la 690 Duke offre une immédiateté et un caractère que seul un gros monocylindre peut fournir. En tant que moto d'occasion, elle s'est révélée étonnamment stable en termes de valeur et de longévité - à condition de veiller à un entretien régulier.
