Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Kawasaki Z1000 2009
A Kawasaki fez bem em repensar e reconstruir a Z1000 a partir do zero. Foi-lhe dada uma alma negra cujas raízes estão nos (in)bons velhos tempos, mas parece mais genuína e coesa graças ao seu desenvolvimento independente. A Kawa fez justiça a si própria e aos desejos dos seus clientes a um nível elevado. Em suma, um produto corajoso para motociclistas corajosos.
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022
A nova GSX-S1000 é uma velha conhecida em termos de design básico - o motor e o chassis ainda são da antecessora. No entanto, a máquina foi modernizada em muitas áreas e apresenta-se a um nível extremamente elevado, especialmente a nível visual. Embora o motor não possa competir na liga dos super-potentes Hyper Nakeds, funciona de forma muito harmoniosa e suficientemente potente. O chassis convencional também consegue um compromisso bem sucedido entre desportivismo e conforto. Os argumentos do martelo são definitivamente o design bem-sucedido, o câmbio rápido padrão com blipper e, por último, mas não menos importante, o preço comparativamente baixo.
