Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 690 Duke 2015
É inacreditável como a KTM desenvolveu o monocilíndrico sem sacrificar o desempenho. Pode ser considerado um golpe de génio o facto de, no âmbito da norma EURO4, a cultura de funcionamento do motor ter sido aumentada, aumentando ao mesmo tempo a potência. A curva de binário plana é responsável pela propulsão suave e potente. A partir das 4000 rotações, a Duke empurra com força e atinge as 8500 rotações. Mesmo a baixas rotações, o motor não gagueja nem engole, o que é uma vantagem na cidade. A maior força da Duke, para além da sua capacidade de condução, é a sua manobrabilidade, razão pela qual se pode dizer que é um brinquedo. Só quando estamos na pista de corridas e a atacar com força é que desejamos ter o "R" debaixo do rabo.
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.
