Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2020

La Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX est plus une évolution qu'une révolution - mais que faut-il réinventer, même pour une moto de tourisme sportive équilibrée ? Mais le nouveau nom est tout à fait justifié, avec les nombreuses nouvelles caractéristiques rendues possibles entre autres par le système Ride-by-Wire, la moto de tourisme sportif est absolument à la hauteur. L'ABS en virage, le contrôle de traction moderne et les modes de conduite garantissent la sécurité et les possibilités de réglage en fonction des préférences personnelles, l'assistant de changement de vitesse favorise aussi bien le sport que le tourisme. De plus, le prix est canon (du moins en Autriche) !
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2021

Avec la Ninja ZX-10R, Kawasaki propose pour l'année modèle 2021 un package complet et sophistiqué qui, avec sa nouvelle face avant, ressemble vraiment à 2021. La moto offre un espace surprenant pour le pilote et on se sent bien en selle. Le moteur poussif ne laisse rien à désirer - sauf peut-être une plus grande discipline en charge partielle. Pour mener à bien ce projet, Kawasaki a misé sur des ingrédients de qualité : suspension Showa, amortisseurs de direction Öhlins, freins Brembo avec disques de 330 ainsi qu'une électronique haut de gamme. Grâce à son électronique de qualité et à son moteur souverain, la Ninja ZX-10R fait même assez bonne figure sur les routes de campagne - pour autant que l'on soit capable de souffrir un peu en matière de position assise en raison du concept.
