Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha MT-07 2016

A MT-07 é uma máquina incrivelmente divertida e extremamente desportiva de conduzir. Os travões são potentes, o comportamento é soberbo e o motor é atualmente, de longe, o motor mais ágil desta classe - e mesmo acima.
KTM 690 Duke 2015

É inacreditável como a KTM desenvolveu o monocilíndrico sem sacrificar o desempenho. Pode ser considerado um golpe de génio o facto de, no âmbito da norma EURO4, a cultura de funcionamento do motor ter sido aumentada, aumentando ao mesmo tempo a potência. A curva de binário plana é responsável pela propulsão suave e potente. A partir das 4000 rotações, a Duke empurra com força e atinge as 8500 rotações. Mesmo a baixas rotações, o motor não gagueja nem engole, o que é uma vantagem na cidade. A maior força da Duke, para além da sua capacidade de condução, é a sua manobrabilidade, razão pela qual se pode dizer que é um brinquedo. Só quando estamos na pista de corridas e a atacar com força é que desejamos ter o "R" debaixo do rabo.
