Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster SP 2023

A versão SP é claramente a mais cara, mas também claramente a melhor Ducati Monster. Tudo se encaixa perfeitamente, porque é tipicamente desportiva da Ducati. A suspensão Öhlins totalmente ajustável (incluindo a forquilha em ouro sueco!) cumpre perfeitamente o seu objetivo, o sistema de travagem Brembo Stylema agarra com veemência mas não de forma desagradável e a posição do assento, com uma inclinação ligeiramente mais para a frente, é desportiva mas ainda assim confortável. Até o motor se enquadra muito bem no conceito de moto naked de gama média muito desportiva - quer ser acelerado e fornece a maior potência na parte superior. Se está à procura de um defeito na Monster SP, é provavelmente a trepidação do V2 a baixas rotações, mas os verdadeiros fãs do motor V2 de 90° não ficarão ofendidos com isso. O preço também não é um problema, uma vez que os italianos pagam um preço bastante elevado pelo desempenho da versão SP.
KTM 890 Duke 2021

A antecessora 790 Duke já provou que a KTM sabe como construir uma moto naked de gama média para a estrada. A nova 890 carrega a tocha com um peito inchado e mais uma vez faz jus à sua alcunha de bisturi. Viva, puxa os raios e transmite um certo nervosismo que pode ser interpretado como um carácter selvagem. O equipamento está quase completo - mas só quase. Porque é que se tem de pagar um extra pela alavanca de velocidades, quando esta era de série no antecessor? É ainda mais irritante que a mudança de velocidades sem embraiagem funcione tão suavemente como manteiga e que não se queira passar sem ela.
