Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
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.
Kawasaki Z900 2020
Em termos de preço-desempenho, a Kawasaki Z900 é difícil de bater neste momento. Com o motor perfeitamente afinado, os componentes do quadro de alta qualidade e a eletrónica adicionada para 2020, esta moto naked oferece tudo o que os condutores desportivos procuram. Não há realmente nada a reclamar, mesmo que a opção de uma alavanca de mudanças rápidas tivesse sido um bom extra. Para além disso: grande tiro, Kawasaki!
