Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Fantic Caballero 700 2023

A Fantic Caballero 700 é um pouco traiçoeira - mas muito inteligente! O motor desta inteligente italiana vem do Japão, onde é conhecido como CP2 e equipa modelos de sucesso como a MT-07 e a Tenere 700. Assim, a Fantic é ágil e viva, pesando 188 quilos pronta a conduzir. Acrescente a isso uma manobrabilidade agradavelmente fácil e uma posição de condução confortável, juntamente com um visual autêntico e arrebatador - e tem uma scrambler realmente boa. Uma vez que os pneus funcionam basicamente bem e apenas a roda dianteira maior de 19 polegadas impede um manuseamento ainda mais ágil, aderir ao estilo scrambler também é perfeitamente aceitável aqui.
