BMW S 1000 R 2015

Com a BMW S 1000 R, nota-se tanto a estreita relação com a superbike S 1000 RR como o esforço para equipar a máquina com um elevado grau de conforto para estradas rurais e utilização diária. Assim, a unidade de potência de 1000cc e quatro cilindros é bruta e, no entanto, facilmente controlável, e a posição de assento é correspondentemente desportiva e confortável.

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
