Kawasaki Z900 SE 2023

A Z900 SE não é apenas uma adição bem-sucedida à Z900 normal, mas na verdade a versão melhor e mais sensata. Porque a forquilha refinada, o amortecedor de suspensão Öhlins, que não é totalmente ajustável mas é mais reativo, e o sistema de travagem Brembo M4.32 mais rápido tornam a SE refrescantemente mais desportiva e valem bem o preço extra - especialmente se também tiver em conta o aspeto fantástico dos componentes Prestige! No entanto, o facto de uma alavanca de mudanças rápida não estar disponível a um custo adicional irá prejudicar os verdadeiros entusiastas do desporto. Se conseguir viver com o peso relativamente elevado de mais de 214 quilos, obtém uma moto naked suficientemente manejável.
Yamaha MT-09 2023

Se olharmos para os principais dados da MT-09, incluindo o seu equipamento de série super completo, "moto naked de gama média" quase soa um pouco pejorativo. Os engenheiros japoneses introduziram melhorias exatamente onde elas eram necessárias. O chassis oscilante é agora uma coisa do passado e as reacções de mudança de carga também foram eliminadas do motor de três cilindros revisto. A potência adicional aliada a um pouco mais de pressão na gama média proporciona uma sensação de condução soberana. A MT-09 oferece muito equipamento e um enorme prazer de condução a um preço muito atrativo.
