Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha MT-07 2017
Mesmo após três anos, a Yamaha MT-07 continua a ser uma das favoritas do público. Mais ninguém bate esta relação preço/desempenho. O motor de dois cilindros é potente, mas pode ser doseado muito suavemente a baixas rotações. O ecrã é também um dos melhores desta classe, com boa legibilidade. Apenas o chassis é dececionante. Num estilo de condução desportivo, é simplesmente demasiado macio, o que pode fazer com que a MT-07 balance.
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.
