Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018

O epíteto "Besta" não é completamente despropositado, a KTM é e continua a ser uma moto naked brutal - 177 cv de dois motores com uma cilindrada combinada de 1301 metros cúbicos não é nada inofensivo. No entanto, é surpreendentemente fácil de controlar; a posição de assento vertical combinada com o bom manuseamento fazem-na parecer quase dócil. Em comparação com o seu antecessor, foi melhorado precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado em termos de qualidade. Mas continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curvas longas.
BMW S 1000 R 2016

Com a BMW S 1000 R, nota-se tanto a estreita relação com a superbike S 1000 RR como o esforço para equipar a máquina com um elevado grau de conforto para estradas rurais e utilização diária. Assim, a unidade de potência de 1000cc e quatro cilindros é bruta e, no entanto, facilmente controlável, e a posição de assento é correspondentemente desportiva e confortável. O facto de a S 1000 R ser uma das motos "naked" de potência mais acessíveis é surpreendente e muito agradável, embora não se deva ter em conta a lista de extras opcionais - porque graças às muitas características irresistíveis, será certamente mais cara.
