Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z650 2021
Mesmo em 2021, a Kawasaki Z 650 é sinónimo de uma condução fácil, com excelente aspeto e bom equipamento. Tanto a altura do assento como o motor são muito acessíveis e darão muito prazer tanto aos condutores experientes como aos recém-chegados. Se procura uma naked bike honesta e sem grandes surpresas, esta é a moto ideal para si. No entanto, devido às suas dimensões compactas, deve experimentá-la antes de a comprar e talvez optar pelo assento elevado.
KTM 690 Duke 2019
Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.
