Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster SP 2023

A versão SP é claramente a mais cara, mas também claramente a melhor Ducati Monster. Tudo se encaixa perfeitamente, porque é tipicamente desportiva da Ducati. A suspensão Öhlins totalmente ajustável (incluindo a forquilha em ouro sueco!) cumpre perfeitamente o seu objetivo, o sistema de travagem Brembo Stylema agarra com veemência mas não de forma desagradável e a posição do assento, com uma inclinação ligeiramente mais para a frente, é desportiva mas ainda assim confortável. Até o motor se enquadra muito bem no conceito de moto naked de gama média muito desportiva - quer ser acelerado e fornece a maior potência na parte superior. Se está à procura de um defeito na Monster SP, é provavelmente a trepidação do V2 a baixas rotações, mas os verdadeiros fãs do motor V2 de 90° não ficarão ofendidos com isso. O preço também não é um problema, uma vez que os italianos pagam um preço bastante elevado pelo desempenho da versão SP.
Kawasaki Z900 2021

Em termos de preço-desempenho, a Kawasaki Z900 é difícil de bater neste momento. Com o motor perfeitamente afinado, os componentes do quadro de alta qualidade e a eletrónica adicionada para 2020, esta moto naked oferece tudo o que os condutores desportivos procuram. Não há realmente nada a reclamar, exceto a falta de uma opção de mudança de velocidades rápida.
