Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster 2021

A Ducati fez um bom trabalho com a Monster. No papel, rapidamente se percebe que a Ducati foi capaz de poupar alguns custos no equipamento. Mas no assento, o prazer de condução domina. A pura alegria de viver espalha-se quando a ágil máquina se agita de forma calorosa pelos raios. A carismática V2 rola casualmente e perfeitamente para fora das curvas.
KTM 690 Duke 2015

É inacreditável como a KTM desenvolveu o monocilíndrico sem sacrificar o desempenho. Pode ser considerado um golpe de génio o facto de, no âmbito da norma EURO4, a cultura de funcionamento do motor ter sido aumentada, aumentando ao mesmo tempo a potência. A curva de binário plana é responsável pela propulsão suave e potente. A partir das 4000 rotações, a Duke empurra com força e atinge as 8500 rotações. Mesmo a baixas rotações, o motor não gagueja nem engole, o que é uma vantagem na cidade. A maior força da Duke, para além da sua capacidade de condução, é a sua manobrabilidade, razão pela qual se pode dizer que é um brinquedo. Só quando estamos na pista de corridas e a atacar com força é que desejamos ter o "R" debaixo do rabo.
