Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z650 2020
É simplesmente maravilhoso o que a Kawasaki juntou num pacote completo com a nova Z650. Os componentes técnicos podem não impressionar individualmente, mas em conjunto formam uma mota agradavelmente neutra que todos irão apreciar. Não há idiossincrasias desagradáveis - simplesmente uma mota naked que funciona muito bem em estradas rurais sinuosas. Claro que o ecrã TFT, que não encontramos na concorrência neste momento, é uma mais-valia, tal como o aspeto adulto, que está fortemente orientado para os modelos Z maiores. Apenas o ponto de pressão do travão dianteiro poderia ter sido mais claramente definido - mas não se pode ter tudo nesta gama de preços.
Yamaha MT-09 2018
Uma moto coerente onde tudo se encaixa. A mota cumpre o que o seu aspeto promete. Alta tecnologia, carisma e muita adrenalina. É uma mistura de supermoto, naked bike e streetfighter e adora ser manuseada de forma irracional. Uma moto fixe. Só em comparação com a MT-09 SP é que se começa a sentir a falta de um chassis de alta qualidade.
