Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
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.
Kawasaki Z650 2017
A Kawasaki Z 650 é a ponta da classe média para os pequenos condutores masculinos e femininos. Com as suas dimensões compactas, provavelmente não se sentirá confortável como um gigante. No entanto, as sensações reconfortantes vêm do motor, que se delicia com uma tração muito suave. Do lado do chassis, foi escolhida uma configuração apertada típica da Kawasaki, que encontra um ótimo compromisso na utilização diária. O ecrã negativo é muito fácil de ler e faz lembrar a sua antecessora, a ER-6n - muito bonito!
