Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha XJ6 2009
Apesar da base comum, a XJ parece muito mais jovem e agressiva. Uma mota de classe média que de forma alguma nos faz sentir de gama média. Exceptuando o braço oscilante, a moto parece ser de alta qualidade e muito fixe. A moto é um pouco mais fácil de manusear do que a Diversion.
Kawasaki Z650 2020
É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
