Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 890 Duke 2021

A antecessora 790 Duke já provou que a KTM sabe como construir uma moto naked de gama média para a estrada. A nova 890 carrega a tocha com um peito inchado e mais uma vez faz jus à sua alcunha de bisturi. Viva, puxa os raios e transmite um certo nervosismo que pode ser interpretado como um carácter selvagem. O equipamento está quase completo - mas só quase. Porque é que se tem de pagar um extra pela alavanca de velocidades, quando esta era de série no antecessor? É ainda mais irritante que a mudança de velocidades sem embraiagem funcione tão suavemente como manteiga e que não se queira passar sem ela.
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015

A GSX-S1000 é uma mota honesta em termos de desempenho e manuseamento. Obtém-se ainda mais do que o indicado no papel, mas primeiro é preciso pôr o quatro em linha a acelerar. Como condutor, tem-se a sensação de que ainda se está no comando, mesmo que a GSX-S já não esteja completamente desprovida de sistemas de assistência à condução de série - que funcionam extremamente bem. O contacto com a estrada é direto, a dinâmica é precisa e transparente. Não é só em termos de design que esta naked bike pode dar prazer durante muitos anos, a base algo desactualizada é rapidamente esquecida.
