Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-07 2019
Mesmo a primeira série MT-07 era uma base incrivelmente boa para a condução desportiva em motos naked. Com o modelo de 2018, a Yamaha conseguiu finalmente trazer todo o potencial do motor CP2 para a estrada. Palavra-chave: chassis. Graças a intervenções simples, os componentes da suspensão têm agora o carácter desportivo que há muito desejávamos. O visual renovado também faz com que pareçam muito mais crescidos. Apenas os indicadores e as mudanças parecem um pouco desactualizados - mas aqui pode ver porque é que a MT-07 é oferecida a um preço tão competitivo!
KTM 690 Duke 2012
Mais de uma década após o seu lançamento, a KTM 690 Duke continua a ser uma moto fascinante com o seu próprio carácter. A tentativa de transformar a rebelde Duke numa moto com maior apelo de massas provou ser uma estratégia bem sucedida. A combinação de um excelente motor LC4, manuseamento direto e uma boa relação qualidade/preço continua a torná-la uma opção atractiva para os motociclistas que procuram algo especial. Embora os modelos de dois cilindros mais recentes sejam superiores em termos de suavidade de funcionamento e conforto, a 690 Duke oferece uma rapidez e carácter que só um monocilíndrico de grandes dimensões pode proporcionar. Como moto usada, provou ser surpreendentemente estável em termos de valor e durável - desde que se preste atenção à manutenção regular.
