Yamaha MT-09 2017

Em conclusão, depois de várias paragens ao longo da época, posso olhar para trás e ver um grande resultado. Tanto em termos de desempenho como de aspeto, a nossa MT-09 é perfeita. A suspensão foi provavelmente a nossa questão mais importante. Onde antes havia claramente (demasiado) movimento na traseira em curvas rápidas, agora está tudo resolvido sem pestanejar. O amortecedor STX 46 é bastante rígido na sua configuração básica, mas também consegue aguentar a vida quotidiana sem ser desconfortável. Graças às generosas opções de ajuste, ainda há espaço para preferências e utilizações individuais. A função do cartucho NIX 30 também é impressionante. O comportamento de resposta - especialmente sob carga - melhorou significativamente. Agora também há muito mais reserva disponível durante a travagem. Onde antes a forquilha entrava em bloqueio e o ABS era acionado quando se travava a fundo com a configuração original, agora os travões simplesmente continuam a funcionar eficazmente. Para além disso, a MT-09 segue agora a linha pretendida no raio de curva como se estivesse sozinha - um puro prazer. A visão e o som do sistema completo Akrapovic também são pura alegria, e o facto de produzir mais alguns cavalos de potência é sentido de forma eficaz, especialmente no terço superior da gama de rotações. A roda dianteira dispara ainda com mais vontade para a galeria na 2ª e 3ª velocidades.

A KTM 890 Duke R parece divertida, prática, mas com equipamento de alta qualidade. O motor e o peso fazem lembrar as motos muito mais pequenas. A unidade de potência acelera de forma animada e está diretamente ligada ao acelerador. A mota faz curvas com facilidade e tem uma condução leve. A travagem e o pacote eletrónico, no entanto, estão na liga principal. Portanto, a 890 Duke é uma moto rápida e fixe para estradas rurais e pistas de corrida.
