Harley-Davidson Softail Slim FLS 2017
No nosso teste, Vauli e K.OT foram unânimes. Nenhum modelo da gama Harley-Davidson lhes agrada tanto como a Softail Slim. Ela encarna 100% a história da Harley e do Made in America. Com o seu aspeto, poderia passar por uma original dos anos cinquenta e também retoma alguns elementos e citações dessa época. Mesmo o assento único não foi comprometido. O motor é extremamente binário, mas os congestionamentos devem ser evitados, se possível, devido à elevada radiação de calor. Os travões funcionam perfeitamente e a dinâmica de condução é harmoniosa devido aos dois pneus estreitos, mas severamente limitada pelo ângulo de inclinação. No que diz respeito ao som, deve e vai atualizar-se, porque um som autêntico também pertence a este aspeto autêntico. Uma mota para gerações.
BMW R 18 2020
A BMW R 18 é uma mota muito bem construída. Tudo nela é genuíno. A grande boxer fará as delícias dos amigos da marca BMW, mas também dos amigos da tecnologia mecânica extrovertida das motas. No modo de condução, o motor é agradável de dosear e, por isso, combina bem com o manuseamento acessível. As opções de equipamento são quase ilimitadas. Em termos de dinâmica de condução, chassis e pacote eletrónico, a BMW não está a abrir novos caminhos. Trata-se de um belo e clássico cruiser bem construído. A posição do assento aquece os ânimos. No entanto, durante o teste de condução, os jornalistas aguentaram-na bem. Tende a ser um pouco mais difícil sentar-se na mota com pernas longas.
