Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z900 2018

No disputadíssimo segmento das motos naked, a Z900 joga mesmo na frente. Acima de tudo, o seu motor é absolutamente fantástico, funciona de forma incrivelmente sedosa e oferece uma potência rica em todas as rotações - como convém a um quatro cilindros japonês. O seu aspeto desportivo e agressivo corresponde a isto. Não necessita de sinos e assobios electrónicos, mas ainda assim transmite muita confiança quando segue as curvas, trava e acelera. O assento baixo é especialmente benéfico para os condutores mais pequenos, mas os condutores mais altos podem sentir falta de um ângulo de joelho mais plano em longas distâncias. O baixo peso e a compacidade tornam a Z900 particularmente ágil e fácil de manusear. Um canhão desportivo que também é extremamente apelativo em termos de preço
Triumph Speed Triple R 2012

A R cavalga de forma tão precisa e calma como nunca antes. É garantido que mantém o seu nervo mesmo quando o piloto já o tenha deitado fora há muito tempo. A desvantagem da potência compacta é que os raios têm de ser um pouco mais largos e o percurso um pouco mais rápido para que a verdadeira rainha de Inglaterra possa também jogar os 4 ases que tem na manga.
