Prós e contras em comparação
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!
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

A KTM é e continua a ser a moto naked mais brutal do mercado. A posição de assento vertical combinada com a potência selvagem da V2 fazem-na parecer mais brutal do que é no papel. Foi melhorada precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado. Continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curva em curvas longas.
