Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017

Com a versão SP, a MT-10 torna-se mais fresca, mais apetecível e, graças ao chassis de alta qualidade, melhor. A suspensão semi-ativa da R1M é a melhor na liga das motos naked. A mais alta qualidade e a melhor função em combinação. O chassi também excita na pista de corrida. No entanto, a MT-10SP não é uma máquina de corrida, porque a posição de assento não é suficientemente ativa para isso.
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
