KTM 890 Duke R 2023

A KTM 890 Duke R é o estágio evolutivo mais desportivo da 890 Duke. Mais potência, chassis mais firme, travões mais afiados - estes ingredientes, juntamente com o já baixo peso do veículo, fazem dela uma verdadeira máquina de precisão. Uma moto rápida e fixe para os fetichistas da diversão, para os ambiciosos aquecedores de pista caseiros e, por último, mas não menos importante, uma verdadeira recomendação para os visitantes de trackday. No entanto, o posicionamento desportivo da parte superior do corpo e o ângulo um pouco mais agudo dos joelhos são feitos à custa do conforto. Por último, mas não menos importante, a suspensão ajustável na configuração básica é realmente afinada de forma nítida. Se você quiser desfrutar do potente motor 890 e da eletrônica de alta qualidade um pouco mais confortavelmente, você ainda pode ir para o modelo básico com uma consciência clara.
Kawasaki Z650 2020

É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
