Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XSR900 2018

A Yamaha XSR900 é uma ilusão de ótica clássica - com o seu farol redondo, depósito angular e farolim traseiro acoplado, passa claramente por uma moto retro. Mas não é por acaso que o desempenho faz lembrar a potente naked de gama média Yamaha MT-09, que é a base extremamente desportiva da XSR900. Assim, o motor é uma explosão e os travões são apropriadamente venenosos. Felizmente, os engenheiros não exageraram com o chassis, a XSR900 oferece conforto suficiente e a posição de condução vertical é mais confortável do que o potente motor levaria a esperar. Em suma, a XSR900 é um dos modelos mais desportivos entre as motos retro.
Kawasaki Z900 RS 2022

A Z900 RS goza de uma grande base de fãs e, em 2022, prova mais uma vez porque é tão popular. O potente motor pontua com potência de tração e um som maravilhoso que não é demasiado intrusivo. O manuseamento é natural e não apresenta desafios. Apenas uma alavanca de mudanças rápida se adequaria à moto - mesmo que isso não se enquadre na ideia retro.
