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-07 2022

Quase nenhuma outra mota na chamada classe de entrada de gama é tão divertida como a Yamaha MT-07. Mesmo a versão que é reduzida para 48 cv pode acompanhar a versão completa por mais tempo do que seria de esperar devido ao seu deslocamento comparativamente grande. Os restantes componentes também se portam bem, tanto os travões como a suspensão não querem assustar ninguém com demasiada dureza, mas não atingem imediatamente o limite mesmo com pilotos mais desportivos. O visual é agora mais coerente, o farol LED minimalista enquadra-se perfeitamente no visual angular.
