In summary, the Kawasaki Z650 2020 and the Yamaha MT-07 2016 are both solid naked bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses. The Yamaha may have a slight advantage in terms of power and braking performance, while the Kawasaki offers a more mature and connected riding experience.

Kawasaki Z650 2020

É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
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.
