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.
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!
