Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 890 Duke R 2020

A KTM 890 Duke R parece divertida, prática, mas com equipamento de alta qualidade. O motor e o peso fazem lembrar as motos muito mais pequenas. A unidade de potência acelera de forma animada e está diretamente ligada ao acelerador. A mota faz curvas com facilidade e tem uma condução leve. A travagem e o pacote eletrónico, no entanto, estão na liga principal. Portanto, a 890 Duke é uma moto rápida e fixe para estradas rurais e pistas de corrida.
Kawasaki Z650 2020

É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
