Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017
A KTM é e continua a ser a moto naked mais brutal do mercado. A posição de assento vertical combinada com a potência selvagem da V2 fazem-na parecer mais brutal do que é no papel. Foi melhorada 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. Continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curva em curvas longas.
Kawasaki Z1000 2013
Em suma, a nova Z1000 é uma evolução bem sucedida da sua antecessora. A falta de controlo de tração é mais um problema de marketing do que um problema para os clientes finais.
