Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021
A KTM Super Duke R evoluiu na perfeição ao longo das gerações: O motor é forte, tem uma enorme quantidade de binário e, na versão atual, também funciona de forma excelente a partir de baixas rotações. No entanto, a excelente interação de todos os componentes é responsável pelo maravilhoso desempenho geral da grande Duke. A posição de assento ativa é confortável e incrivelmente fácil de conduzir, o chassis é de alto nível, os travões são potentes e a eletrónica é de última geração. Até a aparência está a agradar a cada vez mais críticos. É apenas uma pena que tenha de pagar um extra pelo engenhoso assistente de mudanças com blipper.
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.
