Especificações técnicas Yamaha MT-09 2016 em comparação com KTM 690 Duke 2015
Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha MT-09 2016

A Yamaha MT-09 não precisava de ser reinventada para a próxima época - já estava extremamente bem feita há quase quatro anos. Em vez disso, os japoneses concentram-se na afinação e na adição de truques práticos e contemporâneos, como o controlo de tração e as mudanças automáticas. No entanto, devido à norma Euro4, a gestão do motor foi alterada mais uma vez e oferece uma potência enfaticamente potente, mas bem controlada no modo standard; a explosão de potência da primeira geração já não é oferecida nem mesmo pelo modo A mais nítido. A maior mudança, reconhecível à primeira vista, é o design, na minha opinião, extremamente bem-sucedido, com a frente mais agressiva e a traseira com novo design. Em suma, uma moto naked ainda mais elegante que foi claramente construída para a diversão do motociclismo.
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.
