Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha MT-07 2018
A MT-07 é uma máquina maravilhosa e divertida, extremamente desportiva de conduzir. Os travões são potentes e o motor é atualmente, de longe, o mais ágil desta classe - e talvez mesmo acima. O manuseamento leve encaixa na perfeição e o chassis faz o compromisso compreensível entre conforto e desportivismo - lembrando-nos que a MT-07 acessível também deve ter muito para oferecer aos principiantes. Apenas o design com faróis de halogéneo e forquilhas convencionais é um pouco antiquado.
Kawasaki Z900 2020
A Kawasaki Z900 pode não estar à altura das características electrónicas modernas e dependentes do ângulo de inclinação, mas é relativamente barata e não se deve subestimar a base de fãs do bom e velho motor de quatro cilindros em linha - a Z900 é uma das formas mais baratas de ter um motor tão bom com pouco menos de um litro de cilindrada numa naked desportiva! O peso mais elevado é percetível, mas não é muito incómodo, porque o comportamento e a estabilidade são bastante bons. Em termos de eletrónica "ultrapassada", o mais irritante é a falta do assistente de mudanças, que nem sequer está disponível como opção. No entanto, no geral, a Z900 é uma excelente naked bike com uma óptima relação preço/desempenho.
