Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z900 2021
A Kawasaki Z900 pode não estar à altura das características electrónicas modernas e dependentes do ângulo de inclinação, mas é relativamente barata e não se deve subestimar a base de fãs do bom e velho motor de quatro cilindros em linha - a Z900 é uma das formas mais baratas de ter um motor tão bom com pouco menos de um litro de cilindrada numa naked desportiva! O peso mais elevado é percetível, mas não é muito incómodo, porque o comportamento e a estabilidade são bastante bons. Em termos de eletrónica "ultrapassada", o mais irritante é a falta do assistente de mudanças, que nem sequer está disponível como opção. No entanto, no geral, a Z900 é uma excelente naked bike com uma óptima relação preço/desempenho.
Ducati Monster 2023
Podemos sempre discutir a aparência e a falta de um quadro de treliça, mas a Monster atual é tudo menos feia. Basicamente, seria uma excelente naked para o dia a dia, com uma ergonomia agradável e um sistema de travagem que não surpreenderá nem mesmo os inexperientes. A suspensão ainda mais macia também pode ser vista como um compromisso aceitável, mas para uma Ducati é bastante surpreendente que pelo menos o garfo dianteiro não tenha sido ajustado um pouco mais firme. Infelizmente, o carismático motor bate forte em baixas rotações e, portanto, só revela o seu maravilhoso carácter V2 na estrada rural. No entanto, tudo isto reflecte muito bem a imagem geral da Monster: uma Ducati típica que também é boa para a condução diária em termos de suspensão e travões.
