Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 690 Duke 2015

É inacreditável como a KTM desenvolveu o monocilíndrico sem sacrificar o desempenho. Pode ser considerado um golpe de génio o facto de, no âmbito da norma EURO4, a cultura de funcionamento do motor ter sido aumentada, aumentando ao mesmo tempo a potência. A curva de binário plana é responsável pela propulsão suave e potente. A partir das 4000 rotações, a Duke empurra com força e atinge as 8500 rotações. Mesmo a baixas rotações, o motor não gagueja nem engole, o que é uma vantagem na cidade. A maior força da Duke, para além da sua capacidade de condução, é a sua manobrabilidade, razão pela qual se pode dizer que é um brinquedo. Só quando estamos na pista de corridas e a atacar com força é que desejamos ter o "R" debaixo do rabo.
Honda CB500F 2016

Tal como as suas antecessoras de dois cilindros CB500 e CBF500, a nova CB500F apresenta-se como uma moto madura para principiantes, condutores que regressam ou para as deslocações diárias para o trabalho. Com os modernos faróis e farolins traseiros em LED, a Honda está a acompanhar os tempos e, por isso, oferece um excelente pacote na classe de carta de condução A2. Com o seu comportamento ágil, convence tanto no trânsito citadino como nas estradas rurais e, graças às revisões do motor e da transmissão, é mais desportiva do que nunca. O chassis, por outro lado, oferece conforto suficiente, que é ainda apoiado pela alavanca de travão ajustável.
