Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Suzuki SV 650 2016

A nova SV650 continua o minimalismo visual das duas primeiras gerações da SV650, mas baseia-se tecnicamente na sua antecessora direta, a SFV650 Gladius - duas excelentes jogadas que transformam a muito moderna SV650 num clássico. O design enquadra-se perfeitamente na era de muitas conversões retro, mas no interior também existem truques modernos que facilitam o arranque, especialmente para os principiantes. O motor, por outro lado, também pode convencer os condutores avançados; a sensação típica da V2 é maravilhosa. Não se deve esperar extrema desportividade no chassis e nos travões, mas o preço de pouco menos de 6400 euros (na Alemanha) é uma afirmação que a concorrência terá de engolir.
Kawasaki Z900 2018

No disputadíssimo segmento das motos naked, a Z900 joga mesmo na frente. Acima de tudo, o seu motor é absolutamente fantástico, funciona de forma incrivelmente sedosa e oferece uma potência rica em todas as rotações - como convém a um quatro cilindros japonês. O seu aspeto desportivo e agressivo corresponde a isto. Não necessita de sinos e assobios electrónicos, mas ainda assim transmite muita confiança quando segue as curvas, trava e acelera. O assento baixo é especialmente benéfico para os condutores mais pequenos, mas os condutores mais altos podem sentir falta de um ângulo de joelho mais plano em longas distâncias. O baixo peso e a compacidade tornam a Z900 particularmente ágil e fácil de manusear. Um canhão desportivo que também é extremamente apelativo em termos de preço
