Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Kawasaki Z1000SX 2014
A Z 1000 SX é um excelente meio-termo, na verdade a intersecção ideal entre a mota desportiva e a mota de turismo. Não há muitas motas que consigam fazer isto tão bem.
BMW S 1000 XR 2015
A BMW S 1000 XR cumpre muito bem a sua função de máquina de turismo desportiva. Os 160 cv e os 228 quilos prontos a rodar já sugerem uma condução ágil, mas no selim é ainda melhor. Tal como a pesada naked S 1000 R, a XR não pode negar o seu parentesco com a superbike S 1000 R. A isto junta-se uma posição de condução impecavelmente confortável e um guiador largo que faz com que seja um prazer passar por curvas apertadas. A eletrónica inspira confiança sem restrições e os travões podem ser aplicados como se estivessem numa super moto desportiva. Apenas o ruído estridente do escape de quatro cilindros e as vibrações na gama média não se adequam a uma tourer. Caso contrário, a S 1000 XR é completamente convincente.
