KTM 690 Duke 2018

Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.
Suzuki SV 650 2016

A nova SV650 continua o minimalismo visual das duas primeiras gerações da SV650, mas baseia-se tecnicamente na sua antecessora direta, a SFV650 Gladius - duas excelentes jogadas que transformam a muito moderna SV650 num clássico. O design enquadra-se perfeitamente na era de muitas conversões retro, mas no interior também existem truques modernos que facilitam o arranque, especialmente para os principiantes. O motor, por outro lado, também pode convencer os condutores avançados; a sensação típica da V2 é maravilhosa. Não se deve esperar extrema desportividade no chassis e nos travões, mas o preço de pouco menos de 6400 euros (na Alemanha) é uma afirmação que a concorrência terá de engolir.
