Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster 821 2017
A Ducati Monster 821 encaixa-se perfeitamente no intervalo entre a Monster 797 de entrada de gama e a Monster 1200 topo de gama. A Monster 821, com os seus muitos dispositivos electrónicos, tais como ABS ajustável, controlo de tração ajustável, modos de condução e ecrã TFT a cores, está mais em linha com os modelos 1200. O típico motor V2 com desmodrómico funciona de forma potente mas também muito harmoniosa, o chassis carece de opções de ajuste, especialmente na forquilha, mas o compromisso confortável ainda pode ser visto e sentido. Visualmente, não há nada a criticar de qualquer maneira, a Monster 821 também é claramente reconhecível como uma Monster e, acima de tudo, na pintura amarela, um modelo digno para o 25º aniversário da Monster.
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.
