Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

A Yamaha MT-09 SP é o aperfeiçoamento de uma já muito boa naked de gama média. Com melhores componentes de suspensão da Öhlins e Kayaba, uma pintura mais agradável e um preço justificadamente mais elevado, a versão SP é claramente a escolha mais desportiva dentro da gama Yamaha MT-09. A potência bruta do motor não permite que a MT-09 SP seja conduzida confortavelmente, mas isso não é necessário na "Special" - a diversão está claramente em primeiro plano! A Yamaha MT-09 EVO com suspensão Wilbers está agora disponível como uma alternativa interessante, porque não tem "pintura de guerra" e é muito discreta. Mas infelizmente só na Suíça...
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

O epíteto "Besta" não é completamente despropositado, a KTM é e continua a ser uma moto naked brutal - 177 cv de dois motores com uma cilindrada combinada de 1301 metros cúbicos não é nada inofensivo. No entanto, é surpreendentemente fácil de controlar; a posição de assento vertical combinada com o bom manuseamento fazem-na parecer quase dócil. Em comparação com o seu antecessor, foi melhorado precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado em termos de qualidade. Mas continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curvas longas.
