Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha XSR900 2016

A XSR900 combina o desempenho de uma streetfighter desportiva com o visual de uma naked retro agradável e com acabamentos limpos. Ao fazê-lo, os japoneses fazem uso da sua própria história, que pode ser encontrada em conjunto e sem lacunas no arquivo da agência de design que trabalha para a Yamaha há 60 anos. Adopta as virtudes da MT-09 e corrigiu algumas das suas fraquezas. A sua condução é mais harmoniosa, mais controlada e, se desejado, mais descontraída. Apenas o conforto, e portanto o piloto, sofre com o chassis apertado em estradas más. É preciso ser um pouco sensível quando se trata de uma neo-clássica.
Kawasaki Z900 2017

Uma mota incrivelmente bem concebida. Foi objeto de muitos testes e de muita atenção aos pormenores. Tem exatamente a potência certa, o chassis certo e o visual certo. Uma moto naked de sucesso geral que o fará feliz durante muito tempo. Se quiseres, podes conduzi-la de forma simples e fiel, mas se quiseres, também podes conduzi-la muito depressa e ela roda como o diabo. É óptima!
