Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z900 2018

No disputadíssimo segmento das motos naked, a Z900 joga mesmo na frente. Acima de tudo, o seu motor é absolutamente fantástico, funciona de forma incrivelmente sedosa e oferece uma potência rica em todas as rotações - como convém a um quatro cilindros japonês. O seu aspeto desportivo e agressivo corresponde a isto. Não necessita de sinos e assobios electrónicos, mas ainda assim transmite muita confiança quando segue as curvas, trava e acelera. O assento baixo é especialmente benéfico para os condutores mais pequenos, mas os condutores mais altos podem sentir falta de um ângulo de joelho mais plano em longas distâncias. O baixo peso e a compacidade tornam a Z900 particularmente ágil e fácil de manusear. Um canhão desportivo que também é extremamente apelativo em termos de preço
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015

A GSX-S1000 é uma mota honesta em termos de desempenho e manuseamento. Obtém-se ainda mais do que o indicado no papel, mas primeiro é preciso pôr o quatro em linha a acelerar. Como condutor, tem-se a sensação de que ainda se está no comando, mesmo que a GSX-S já não esteja completamente desprovida de sistemas de assistência à condução de série - que funcionam extremamente bem. O contacto com a estrada é direto, a dinâmica é precisa e transparente. Não é só em termos de design que esta naked bike pode dar prazer durante muitos anos, a base algo desactualizada é rapidamente esquecida.
