Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 390 Duke 2017
É realmente incrível a quantidade de diversão que se pode ter com menos de 50 cv. A KTM 390 Duke é um pequeno canhão de diversão que não vai encontrar em mais lado nenhum. A sua configuração desportiva com a posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira faz dela um verdadeiro predador de curvas - não precisa de mais nada na engrenagem angular. O aspeto elegante e o ecrã TFT conferem-lhe uma aparência de alta classe.
Kawasaki Z 300 2015
O design moderno da Kawasaki Z300, que é extremamente semelhante ao da sua irmã mais velha Z800, faz dela uma moto com um aspeto muito adulto. O sistema de travagem estável e o cockpit de fácil leitura com um conta-rotações analógico e todas as características necessárias enquadram-se muito bem nesta imagem. Graças aos 170 kg de peso pronto a conduzir, a moto é extremamente fácil de manusear e divertida. O motor só revela o seu potencial na gama superior de rotações, mas acelera com vontade e dá vontade de conduzir de forma desportiva. Apenas o chassis, orientado para o conforto, não consegue dar resposta às exigências radicalmente desportivas - mas isto é perfeitamente legítimo e compreensível para uma moto de entrada de gama.
