Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 690 Duke 2015
É inacreditável como a KTM desenvolveu o monocilíndrico sem sacrificar o desempenho. Pode ser considerado um golpe de génio o facto de, no âmbito da norma EURO4, a cultura de funcionamento do motor ter sido aumentada, aumentando ao mesmo tempo a potência. A curva de binário plana é responsável pela propulsão suave e potente. A partir das 4000 rotações, a Duke empurra com força e atinge as 8500 rotações. Mesmo a baixas rotações, o motor não gagueja nem engole, o que é uma vantagem na cidade. A maior força da Duke, para além da sua capacidade de condução, é a sua manobrabilidade, razão pela qual se pode dizer que é um brinquedo. Só quando estamos na pista de corridas e a atacar com força é que desejamos ter o "R" debaixo do rabo.
Yamaha MT-07 2018
A MT-07 é uma máquina incrivelmente divertida e extremamente desportiva de conduzir. Os travões são potentes, a manobrabilidade é soberba e o motor é atualmente, de longe, a unidade de potência mais ágil desta classe - e mesmo acima. O manuseamento leve enquadra-se na perfeição e o design agressivo, com as suas muitas curvas e arestas, também é apelativo. Apenas o chassis faz o típico bom compromisso entre conforto e desportivismo e deve lembrá-lo que a acessível MT-07 também tem muito para oferecer aos principiantes.
