Kawasaki Z900 2018

No disputadíssimo segmento das motos naked, a Z900 joga mesmo na frente. Acima de tudo, o seu motor é absolutamente fantástico, funciona de forma incrivelmente sedosa e oferece uma potência rica em todas as rotações - como convém a um quatro cilindros japonês. O seu aspeto desportivo e agressivo corresponde a isto. Não necessita de sinos e assobios electrónicos, mas ainda assim transmite muita confiança quando segue as curvas, trava e acelera. O assento baixo é especialmente benéfico para os condutores mais pequenos, mas os condutores mais altos podem sentir falta de um ângulo de joelho mais plano em longas distâncias. O baixo peso e a compacidade tornam a Z900 particularmente ágil e fácil de manusear. Um canhão desportivo que também é extremamente apelativo em termos de preço
Kawasaki Vulcan S 2015

A Vulcan S está a revigorar o cenário das "pequenas" cruiser de tamanho médio - não só devido ao seu design único, mas também porque é muito fácil de conduzir e se destina a principiantes. A baixa altura do assento e o selim estreito ajudam o condutor a manter-se seguro no chão, enquanto o baixo centro de gravidade também permite um manuseamento fácil e seguro. O motor também se enquadra bem na aparência descomplicada, pode ser acelerado decentemente a partir das 2000 rpm e só pára por volta das 10.000 rpm - algo nunca antes visto numa cruiser. O sistema "Ergo-Fit", que varia a altura do assento, a distância do condutor ao guiador e os apoios para os pés, tem um custo adicional, mas também permite ao proprietário da Vulcan S generosas opções de personalização.
