Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-07 2018

A MT-07 é uma máquina incrivelmente divertida e extremamente desportiva de conduzir. Os travões são potentes, a manobrabilidade é soberba e o motor é atualmente, de longe, a unidade de potência mais ágil desta classe - e mesmo acima. O manuseamento leve enquadra-se na perfeição e o design agressivo, com as suas muitas curvas e arestas, também é apelativo. Apenas o chassis faz o típico bom compromisso entre conforto e desportivismo e deve lembrá-lo que a acessível MT-07 também tem muito para oferecer aos principiantes.
