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.
KTM 890 Duke 2021

A antecessora 790 Duke já provou que a KTM sabe como construir uma moto naked de gama média para a estrada. A nova 890 carrega a tocha com um peito inchado e mais uma vez faz jus à sua alcunha de bisturi. Viva, puxa os raios e transmite um certo nervosismo que pode ser interpretado como um carácter selvagem. O equipamento está quase completo - mas só quase. Porque é que se tem de pagar um extra pela alavanca de velocidades, quando esta era de série no antecessor? É ainda mais irritante que a mudança de velocidades sem embraiagem funcione tão suavemente como manteiga e que não se queira passar sem ela.
