Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1200 R 2015
A antecessora já era capaz de ser conduzida de forma desportiva, bem como convincente em passeios, a nova R 1200 R pode fazer ainda mais - graças ao sistema de pannier (claro que a um custo extra), viajar ainda não é problema, mas domina o desporto ainda melhor. Graças ao motor boxer de dois cilindros, agora parcialmente arrefecido a água, é maravilhosamente ágil - 125 cv podem não parecer muito no papel, mas o motor empurra incrivelmente e comporta-se de uma forma cultivada. O chassis e os travões também têm uma pontuação elevada e a posição de assento é desportiva e direita, cobrindo um amplo espetro desde a diversão maravilhosa até às viagens de longa distância. Infelizmente, a BMW também entende perfeitamente o truque com a lista de sobretaxas. O modelo básico está bem equipado com ABS que pode ser desativado, controlo de tração que também pode ser desativado e dois modos de condução, mas muitos truques interessantes são quase obrigatórios - e, claro, fazem subir muito o preço.
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.
