Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

A KTM é e continua a ser a moto naked mais brutal do mercado. A posição de assento vertical combinada com a potência selvagem da V2 fazem-na parecer mais brutal do que é no papel. Foi melhorada precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado. Continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curva em curvas longas.
Yamaha MT-09 2018

Uma moto coerente onde tudo se encaixa. A mota cumpre o que o seu aspeto promete. Alta tecnologia, carisma e muita adrenalina. É uma mistura de supermoto, naked bike e streetfighter e adora ser manuseada de forma irracional. Uma moto fixe. Só em comparação com a MT-09 SP é que se começa a sentir a falta de um chassis de alta qualidade.
