Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster 1200 S 2020

A Ducati Monster gera uns impressionantes 147 cv e uns potentes 124 Nm de binário a partir do cilindro duplo Testastretta de 1200 cc refrigerado a água. Isto significa que está mais do que bem motorizado em qualquer situação na estrada rural! O conceito global de um peso total de 213 kg, em combinação com a suspensão Öhlins de alta qualidade e os sistemas de assistência de topo, fazem da máquina uma naked bike quase perfeita. O design clássico e intemporal aliado a componentes modernos fazem desta beleza da Italo uma "dica privilegiada" em tempos de 200 cv + hiper motos naked! Há que fazer pequenos compromissos com a proteção contra o vento e com a alavanca de velocidades. Este último leva algum tempo a habituar-se.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

A KTM é e continua a ser a moto naked mais brutal do mercado. A posição de assento vertical combinada com a potência selvagem da V2 fazem-na parecer mais brutal do que é no papel. Foi melhorada precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado. Continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curva em curvas longas.
