KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

A KTM Super Duke R evoluiu na perfeição ao longo das gerações: O motor é forte, tem uma enorme quantidade de binário e, na versão atual, também funciona de forma excelente a partir de baixas rotações. No entanto, a excelente interação de todos os componentes é responsável pelo maravilhoso desempenho geral da grande Duke. A posição de assento ativa é confortável e incrivelmente fácil de conduzir, o chassis é de alto nível, os travões são potentes e a eletrónica é de última geração. Até a aparência está a agradar a cada vez mais críticos. É apenas uma pena que tenha de pagar um extra pelo engenhoso assistente de mudanças com blipper.
Kawasaki Z1000 2014

A Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) é uma afirmação contra a tendência eletrónica do seu tempo - e é exatamente isso que a torna especial hoje em dia. O seu caraterístico motor de quatro cilindros, a sua mecânica direta e o seu enfoque intransigente no essencial são um acorde numa época em que muitas motos se tornaram computadores. Sim, não tem os modernos Sistemas Avançados de Assistência ao Condutor e uma proteção perfeita contra o vento. Mas oferece uma experiência de condução autêntica de uma naked bike, aliada à fiabilidade japonesa e a custos de manutenção razoáveis. A Z1000 não é uma moto para viciados em folhas de dados ou fãs de eletrónica - é uma moto para pessoas que ainda querem tomar as suas próprias decisões quando conduzem. Uma moto honesta e com carácter que continua a inspirar mesmo após anos e que cumpre o seu papel como alternativa emocional à era moderna digital.
