Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2012
Mais de uma década após o seu lançamento, a KTM 690 Duke continua a ser uma moto fascinante com o seu próprio carácter. A tentativa de transformar a rebelde Duke numa moto com maior apelo de massas provou ser uma estratégia bem sucedida. A combinação de um excelente motor LC4, manuseamento direto e uma boa relação qualidade/preço continua a torná-la uma opção atractiva para os motociclistas que procuram algo especial. Embora os modelos de dois cilindros mais recentes sejam superiores em termos de suavidade de funcionamento e conforto, a 690 Duke oferece uma rapidez e carácter que só um monocilíndrico de grandes dimensões pode proporcionar. Como moto usada, provou ser surpreendentemente estável em termos de valor e durável - desde que se preste atenção à manutenção regular.
