Kawasaki Z650 2017

A Kawasaki Z 650 é a ponta da classe média para os pequenos condutores masculinos e femininos. Com as suas dimensões compactas, provavelmente não se sentirá confortável como um gigante. No entanto, as sensações reconfortantes vêm do motor, que se delicia com uma tração muito suave. Do lado do chassis, foi escolhida uma configuração apertada típica da Kawasaki, que encontra um ótimo compromisso na utilização diária. O ecrã negativo é muito fácil de ler e faz lembrar a sua antecessora, a ER-6n - muito bonito!
Triumph Street Triple S 2018

Capacidade de resposta limpa, excelente som e uma posição de condução - a Street Triple S oferece uma experiência de condução confortável e desportiva. A moto naked conduz com uma precisão e agilidade excepcionais e oferece muito conforto, mesmo em viagens mais longas, onde também pode desfrutar do grande depósito de combustível de 17,4 litros. O controlo eletrónico do acelerador garante uma resposta precisa e permite definir diferentes modos de condução. Também considerámos positivas as vibrações comparativamente baixas para uma tripla e a agradável geometria do veículo. Em comparação com as outras motos do teste e com as suas duas irmãs, a R e a RS, o chassis é um pouco frouxo - mas o engenhoso e rouco som de três cilindros era convincente e fez com que os nossos corações batessem mais depressa!
