KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021
A KTM 1290 Super Duke R mantém o seu carácter bruto para 2022, se pegarmos na fera pelos cornos. Mas a Hyper Naked de Mattighofen também é convincente no uso diário e apresenta-se como uma companheira madura e versátil. Pequenos detalhes poderiam ser melhorados, mas nada que estrague a impressão geral positiva da 1290 Super Duke R.
Kawasaki Z1000 2009
A Kawasaki fez bem em repensar e reconstruir a Z1000 a partir do zero. Foi-lhe dada uma alma negra cujas raízes estão nos (in)bons velhos tempos, mas parece mais genuína e coesa graças ao seu desenvolvimento independente. A Kawa fez justiça a si própria e aos desejos dos seus clientes a um nível elevado. Em suma, um produto corajoso para motociclistas corajosos.
