Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 890 Duke R 2023

A KTM 890 Duke R é o estágio evolutivo mais desportivo da 890 Duke. Mais potência, chassis mais firme, travões mais afiados - estes ingredientes, juntamente com o já baixo peso do veículo, fazem dela uma verdadeira máquina de precisão. Uma moto rápida e fixe para os fetichistas da diversão, para os ambiciosos aquecedores de pista caseiros e, por último, mas não menos importante, uma verdadeira recomendação para os visitantes de trackday. No entanto, o posicionamento desportivo da parte superior do corpo e o ângulo um pouco mais agudo dos joelhos são feitos à custa do conforto. Por último, mas não menos importante, a suspensão ajustável na configuração básica é realmente afinada de forma nítida. Se você quiser desfrutar do potente motor 890 e da eletrônica de alta qualidade um pouco mais confortavelmente, você ainda pode ir para o modelo básico com uma consciência clara.
Yamaha MT-09 2016

A Yamaha MT-09 não precisava de ser reinventada para a próxima época - já estava extremamente bem feita há quase quatro anos. Em vez disso, os japoneses concentram-se na afinação e na adição de truques práticos e contemporâneos, como o controlo de tração e as mudanças automáticas. No entanto, devido à norma Euro4, a gestão do motor foi alterada mais uma vez e oferece uma potência enfaticamente potente, mas bem controlada no modo standard; a explosão de potência da primeira geração já não é oferecida nem mesmo pelo modo A mais nítido. A maior mudança, reconhecível à primeira vista, é o design, na minha opinião, extremamente bem-sucedido, com a frente mais agressiva e a traseira com novo design. Em suma, uma moto naked ainda mais elegante que foi claramente construída para a diversão do motociclismo.
