Felizmente, a nova Kawasaki Z900 não perdeu nada do seu carácter devido à utilização da eletrónica. É e continua a ser uma bicicleta nua de gama média divertida, que ao mesmo tempo domina o ritmo rápido na estrada rural magnificamente. O prazer de condução e a adequação à utilização quotidiana são elevados, as ajudas à condução agora instaladas oferecem uma vantagem em termos de segurança. A partir de agora, os seus adversários vão passar um mau bocado.
KTM 690 Duke 2019

Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.
