Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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 2014
A Kawasaki Z1000 (2014) é uma afirmação contra a tendência eletrónica do seu tempo - e é exatamente isso que a torna especial hoje em dia. O seu caraterístico motor de quatro cilindros, a sua mecânica direta e o seu enfoque intransigente no essencial são um acorde numa época em que muitas motos se tornaram computadores. Sim, não tem os modernos Sistemas Avançados de Assistência ao Condutor e uma proteção perfeita contra o vento. Mas oferece uma experiência de condução autêntica de uma naked bike, aliada à fiabilidade japonesa e a custos de manutenção razoáveis. A Z1000 não é uma moto para viciados em folhas de dados ou fãs de eletrónica - é uma moto para pessoas que ainda querem tomar as suas próprias decisões quando conduzem. Uma moto honesta e com carácter que continua a inspirar mesmo após anos e que cumpre o seu papel como alternativa emocional à era moderna digital.
