Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha MT-07 2018
A MT-07 é uma máquina incrivelmente divertida e extremamente desportiva de conduzir. Os travões são potentes, a manobrabilidade é soberba e o motor é atualmente, de longe, a unidade de potência mais ágil desta classe - e mesmo acima. O manuseamento leve enquadra-se na perfeição e o design agressivo, com as suas muitas curvas e arestas, também é apelativo. Apenas o chassis faz o típico bom compromisso entre conforto e desportivismo e deve lembrá-lo que a acessível MT-07 também tem muito para oferecer aos principiantes.
KTM 690 Duke 2018
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.
