Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018
O epíteto "Besta" não é completamente despropositado, a KTM é e continua a ser uma moto naked brutal - 177 cv de dois motores com uma cilindrada combinada de 1301 metros cúbicos não é nada inofensivo. No entanto, é surpreendentemente fácil de controlar; a posição de assento vertical combinada com o bom manuseamento fazem-na parecer quase dócil. Em comparação com o seu antecessor, foi melhorado precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado em termos de qualidade. Mas continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curvas longas.
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
