Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z900 2018

No disputadíssimo segmento das motos naked, a Z900 joga mesmo na frente. Acima de tudo, o seu motor é absolutamente fantástico, funciona de forma incrivelmente sedosa e oferece uma potência rica em todas as rotações - como convém a um quatro cilindros japonês. O seu aspeto desportivo e agressivo corresponde a isto. Não necessita de sinos e assobios electrónicos, mas ainda assim transmite muita confiança quando segue as curvas, trava e acelera. O assento baixo é especialmente benéfico para os condutores mais pequenos, mas os condutores mais altos podem sentir falta de um ângulo de joelho mais plano em longas distâncias. O baixo peso e a compacidade tornam a Z900 particularmente ágil e fácil de manusear. Um canhão desportivo que também é extremamente apelativo em termos de preço
Ducati Scrambler Icon 2018

A Ducati Scrambler Icon não é certamente uma "nova moto" para 2019, mas um facelift bem-sucedido de uma moto que era boa desde o início.

Para quem quer uma moto simples que pode ser usada para percorrer distâncias curtas de uma forma muito descontraída e com muito estilo, a Scrambler Icon é a escolha certa, porque se a deixarmos deslizar na estrada rural de uma forma descontraída, com a Ducati obtemos uma moto versátil muito fixe que também é muito divertida.
