Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2020

Precisa de 175 cv ou mesmo de controlo de arranque numa moto de turismo? Claro que não. É divertida? Sem dúvida! Embora a Super Duke GT não consiga esconder os seus genes e seja inegavelmente uma Duke em termos de agilidade e potência em curva, apesar dos seus 209 kg de peso a seco, ainda é possível passear de forma descontraída, assumindo sempre uma certa "maturidade" com estes dados de desempenho, claro. Porque ao contrário da Super Duke R ou mesmo de uma 890 Duke R, não me sugere constantemente a faca entre os dentes, mas sim uma sensação de soberania, livremente de acordo com o lema "eu posso, mas não preciso". E tudo isto vem equipado de série, como seria de esperar de uma moto que custa 22.499 euros na Áustria ou 19.053 euros na Alemanha.
BMW S 1000 XR 2017

A S 1000 XR, com a sua unidade de potência Supersport, agora com 165 cv, combinada com a geometria e o conforto de uma Bigenduro, é uma das motos mais rápidas na estrada pública. A vasta gama de acessórios torna-a ainda mais rápida ou mais confortável, consoante as necessidades. No entanto, com uma altura de assento de 840 mm e um arco de entrepernas longo, é apenas condicionalmente adequada para condutores mais pequenos. O assento com 790 mm de altura, no entanto, resolve este problema. Os travões são tão fortes como o motor, a XR convence pela precisão e acima de tudo pela estabilidade. Apesar do desempenho insano, sente-se bem e seguro, como seria de esperar de uma BMW.
