Yamaha MT-09 2023

Se olharmos para os principais dados da MT-09, incluindo o seu equipamento de série super completo, "moto naked de gama média" quase soa um pouco pejorativo. Os engenheiros japoneses introduziram melhorias exatamente onde elas eram necessárias. O chassis oscilante é agora uma coisa do passado e as reacções de mudança de carga também foram eliminadas do motor de três cilindros revisto. A potência adicional aliada a um pouco mais de pressão na gama média proporciona uma sensação de condução soberana. A MT-09 oferece muito equipamento e um enorme prazer de condução a um preço muito atrativo.
