Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster SP 2023

A versão SP é claramente a mais cara, mas também claramente a melhor Ducati Monster. Tudo se encaixa perfeitamente, porque é tipicamente desportiva da Ducati. A suspensão Öhlins totalmente ajustável (incluindo a forquilha em ouro sueco!) cumpre perfeitamente o seu objetivo, o sistema de travagem Brembo Stylema agarra com veemência mas não de forma desagradável e a posição do assento, com uma inclinação ligeiramente mais para a frente, é desportiva mas ainda assim confortável. Até o motor se enquadra muito bem no conceito de moto naked de gama média muito desportiva - quer ser acelerado e fornece a maior potência na parte superior. Se está à procura de um defeito na Monster SP, é provavelmente a trepidação do V2 a baixas rotações, mas os verdadeiros fãs do motor V2 de 90° não ficarão ofendidos com isso. O preço também não é um problema, uma vez que os italianos pagam um preço bastante elevado pelo desempenho da versão SP.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

A KTM Super Duke R evoluiu na perfeição ao longo das gerações: O motor é forte, tem uma enorme quantidade de binário e, na versão atual, também funciona de forma excelente a partir de baixas rotações. No entanto, a excelente interação de todos os componentes é responsável pelo maravilhoso desempenho geral da grande Duke. A posição de assento ativa é confortável e incrivelmente fácil de conduzir, o chassis é de alto nível, os travões são potentes e a eletrónica é de última geração. Até a aparência está a agradar a cada vez mais críticos. É apenas uma pena que tenha de pagar um extra pelo engenhoso assistente de mudanças com blipper.
