Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha MT-07 2014
Mesmo após três anos, a Yamaha MT-07 continua a ser uma das favoritas do público. Mais ninguém bate esta relação preço/desempenho. O motor de dois cilindros é potente, mas pode ser doseado muito suavemente a baixas rotações. O ecrã é também um dos melhores desta classe, com boa legibilidade. Apenas o chassis é dececionante. Num estilo de condução desportivo, é simplesmente demasiado macio, o que pode fazer com que a MT-07 balance.
Kawasaki Z650 2020
Mesmo em 2021, a Kawasaki Z 650 é sinónimo de uma condução fácil, com excelente aspeto e bom equipamento. Tanto a altura do assento como o motor são muito acessíveis e darão muito prazer tanto aos condutores experientes como aos recém-chegados. Se procura uma naked bike honesta e sem grandes surpresas, esta é a moto ideal para si. No entanto, devido às suas dimensões compactas, deve experimentá-la antes de a comprar e talvez optar pelo assento elevado.
