Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Vulcan S 2015
A Vulcan S está a revigorar o cenário das "pequenas" cruiser de tamanho médio - não só devido ao seu design único, mas também porque é muito fácil de conduzir e se destina a principiantes. A baixa altura do assento e o selim estreito ajudam o condutor a manter-se seguro no chão, enquanto o baixo centro de gravidade também permite um manuseamento fácil e seguro. O motor também se enquadra bem na aparência descomplicada, pode ser acelerado decentemente a partir das 2000 rpm e só pára por volta das 10.000 rpm - algo nunca antes visto numa cruiser. O sistema "Ergo-Fit", que varia a altura do assento, a distância do condutor ao guiador e os apoios para os pés, tem um custo adicional, mas também permite ao proprietário da Vulcan S generosas opções de personalização.
Kawasaki Z650 2020
É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
