Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
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
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016
A KTM não sabe voltar atrás e não conhece nenhum limite. É por isso que a nova 1290 Super Duke R é um pouco mais fácil de manusear do que a sua antecessora, mas também um pouco mais forte e mais rápida. Já a 2500 rpm, mais de 100 Nm estão disponíveis, o máximo é 141, o desempenho máximo é declarado em 177 hp. Pode ser demasiado, mas não tem de ser. A eletrónica continua a ser a tábua de salvação nesta categoria, onde o desenvolvimento continua a avançar fortemente. A KTM começou onde tinha dificuldades e isso foi a estabilidade. As alterações à geometria e ao chassis melhoraram significativamente este aspeto, tornando a condução da besta não só mais rápida, mas também mais segura. A manobrabilidade não é menos radical por isso, e os genes de supermoto são mais evidentes do que em qualquer outra moto naked. Só pode haver uma Super Duke.
