Technical Specifications BMW S 1000 R 2022 compared to Yamaha MT-09 2018
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2022

La position de conduite est sportive, mais pas du tout inconfortable, le freinage est efficace et le moteur de la S 1000 R se montre sous son meilleur jour - peut-être même un peu trop homogène. Du côté de la conduite, il n'y a rien à redire non plus. Sur la base des données de performance pures et des fonctions électroniques intégrées, la BMW a ce qu'il faut pour réaliser le meilleur temps au tour. Et ce sur n'importe quel type de terrain, car le châssis semi-actif permet d'avaler des kilomètres et des kilomètres sur de mauvaises routes parsemées de nids de poule. Malheureusement, ce sentiment de supériorité ne s'est jamais vraiment transmis au pilote. Sans doute le revers de la médaille d'un trop grand équilibre dans tous les domaines - du moins à mes yeux italophiles. Il manquait à la BMW ce petit quelque chose, ce rayonnement ou ce charisme difficile à expliquer, mais qui suscite de véritables émotions.
Yamaha MT-09 2018

Une moto cohérente où tout s'accorde. La moto tient les promesses de son apparence. De la haute technologie, du charisme et beaucoup d'adrénaline. C'est un mélange de supermotard, de nakedbike et de streetfighter et elle aime être utilisée de manière déraisonnable. Une moto d'enfer. Ce n'est qu'en comparaison avec la MT-09 SP que l'on commence à regretter un châssis de qualité.
