Kawasaki Z900 2018

No disputadíssimo segmento das motos naked, a Z900 joga mesmo na frente. Acima de tudo, o seu motor é absolutamente fantástico, funciona de forma incrivelmente sedosa e oferece uma potência rica em todas as rotações - como convém a um quatro cilindros japonês. O seu aspeto desportivo e agressivo corresponde a isto. Não necessita de sinos e assobios electrónicos, mas ainda assim transmite muita confiança quando segue as curvas, trava e acelera. O assento baixo é especialmente benéfico para os condutores mais pequenos, mas os condutores mais altos podem sentir falta de um ângulo de joelho mais plano em longas distâncias. O baixo peso e a compacidade tornam a Z900 particularmente ágil e fácil de manusear. Um canhão desportivo que também é extremamente apelativo em termos de preço
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2022

A divertida moto MT-09 está no seu melhor na versão SP! O motor de três cilindros, extremamente divertido e animado, parece ter mais do que apenas 119 cv graças ao binário abundante. Acrescente a isso uma maneabilidade fantástica, semelhante à de uma moto, e travões fenomenais e finamente controláveis. A posição de condução vertical, virada para a retaguarda, não retira tanta sensação de roda dianteira à MT-09 SP, uma vez que o chassis de alta qualidade proporciona um feedback limpo da estrada e percorre todos os raios com estabilidade. Infelizmente, como é típico da Yamaha, a clareza do ecrã TFT e o conceito de funcionamento da eletrónica exuberante deixam muito a desejar. O conforto do assento e do passageiro também poderia ser melhor. De resto, no entanto, a MT-09 SP é a moto (quase) perfeita para uma condução divertida.
