Honda CB500F 2015

Tal como as suas antecessoras de dois cilindros CB500 e CBF500, a nova CB500F apresenta-se como uma moto madura para principiantes, condutores que regressam ou para as deslocações diárias para o trabalho. Com os modernos faróis e farolins traseiros em LED, a Honda está a acompanhar os tempos e, por isso, oferece um excelente pacote na classe de carta de condução A2. Com o seu comportamento ágil, convence tanto no trânsito citadino como nas estradas rurais e, graças às revisões do motor e da transmissão, é mais desportiva do que nunca. O chassis, por outro lado, oferece conforto suficiente, que é ainda apoiado pela alavanca de travão ajustável.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2018

Embora o Continental GT 650 não seja um modelo completamente novo do ponto de vista visual (já existe o Conti GT 535), um Intercetor 650 com um motor de dois cilindros chega agora ao mercado pela primeira vez em quase 50 anos. Assim, o estilo reflecte habilmente o estilo dos anos 60, enquanto a tecnologia está actualizada. Não encontrará qualquer elemento eletrónico, mas o motor de dois cilindros paralelos com 48 cv e 53 Newton metros de binário é surpreendentemente ágil e o comportamento é muito neutro. Os travões Brembo também agradam, com uma boa dosagem, e os pneus Pirelli não revelam quaisquer fragilidades. A posição do assento é muito confortável, por isso, se não quiser conduzir a sua Intercetor 650 de forma tão desportiva, pode fazer um cruzeiro confortavelmente - também o pode fazer muito bem.
