Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2022

A KTM 1290 Super Duke R mantém o seu carácter bruto para 2022, se pegarmos na fera pelos cornos. Mas a Hyper Naked de Mattighofen também é convincente no uso diário e apresenta-se como uma companheira madura e versátil. Pequenos detalhes poderiam ser melhorados, mas nada que estrague a impressão geral positiva da 1290 Super Duke R.
Kawasaki Z900 2023

A Kawasaki Z900 pode não estar à altura das características electrónicas modernas e dependentes do ângulo de inclinação, mas é relativamente barata e não se deve subestimar a base de fãs do bom e velho motor de quatro cilindros em linha - a Z900 é uma das formas mais baratas de ter um motor tão bom com pouco menos de um litro de cilindrada numa naked desportiva! O peso mais elevado é percetível, mas não é muito incómodo, porque o comportamento e a estabilidade são bastante bons. Em termos de eletrónica "ultrapassada", o mais irritante é a falta do assistente de mudanças, que nem sequer está disponível como opção. No entanto, no geral, a Z900 é uma excelente naked bike com uma óptima relação preço/desempenho.
