Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
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.
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2023

A Yamaha MT-09 SP já tinha a vida facilitada na geração anterior, pois é a versão ainda mais refinada de uma máquina de diversão já muito boa, porque maravilhosamente ágil! A atual versão SP não é diferente, mas foi melhorada ainda mais. Um pouco mais de potência, maior binário e uma eletrónica melhor afinada tornam-na ainda mais divertida. Como seria de esperar, a suspensão com componentes KYB e Öhlins de classe superior funciona de forma excelente, os travões podiam ser um pouco mais afiados, mas a posição de assento continua a ser a que se espera de uma máquina de diversão tão ágil e facilmente controlável. As poucas peculiaridades, como o pequeno ecrã TFT ou a controversa máscara de luz, não a tornam de forma alguma pior, mas simplesmente uma personalidade ainda mais independente!
