Kawasaki Z650 2020

É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
