Ducati Monster 2021

A Ducati fez um bom trabalho com a Monster. No papel, rapidamente se percebe que a Ducati foi capaz de poupar alguns custos no equipamento. Mas no assento, o prazer de condução domina. A pura alegria de viver espalha-se quando a ágil máquina se agita de forma calorosa pelos raios. A carismática V2 rola casualmente e perfeitamente para fora das curvas.
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
