Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2016
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.
Yamaha MT-09 2021
Os ingredientes para a atualização de 2021 estão certos: Mais potência, mais equipamento, mais eletrónica, menos peso. Se olharmos para os principais dados da mais recente MT-09, incluindo o seu equipamento de série supercompleto, "moto naked de gama média" quase soa um pouco pejorativo. Os engenheiros japoneses introduziram melhorias exatamente onde eram necessárias. O chassis oscilante é agora uma coisa do passado e as reacções de mudança de carga também foram eliminadas do motor de três cilindros revisto. A potência adicional aliada a um pouco mais de pressão na gama média proporciona uma sensação de condução soberana. A MT-09 oferece muito equipamento e um enorme prazer de condução a um preço muito atrativo. Se gosta do aspeto, pode comprá-la sem hesitar.
