KTM 690 Duke 2018

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.
Honda CB650R 2019

A CB650R da Honda prova de forma brilhante que as motos naked de quatro cilindros com pouca cilindrada são também uma verdadeira fonte de alegria na estrada rural. A afinação do motor dá pressão suficiente na curva e recompensa com um maravilhoso grito de quatro cilindros após uma curta espera. Os componentes da suspensão tentam claramente um equilíbrio entre a vida quotidiana e a desportividade, razão pela qual se pode encontrar rapidamente inquietação no veículo quando se aproxima das curvas a um ritmo acelerado. De alguma forma, no entanto, esta imperfeição dá à Honda muito carácter e dá ao condutor a sensação de ter de se integrar ativamente na ação. Para os corredores de estrada com um trajeto diário, uma verdadeira recomendação!
