Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

A Yamaha MT-09 SP é o aperfeiçoamento de uma já muito boa naked de gama média. Com melhores componentes de suspensão da Öhlins e Kayaba, uma pintura mais agradável e um preço justificadamente mais elevado, a versão SP é claramente a escolha mais desportiva dentro da gama Yamaha MT-09. A potência bruta do motor não permite que a MT-09 SP seja conduzida confortavelmente, mas isso não é necessário na "Special" - a diversão está claramente em primeiro plano! A Yamaha MT-09 EVO com suspensão Wilbers está agora disponível como uma alternativa interessante, porque não tem "pintura de guerra" e é muito discreta. Mas infelizmente só na Suíça...
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.
