KTM 790 Duke 2018

A KTM 790 Duke L é uma moto naked absolutamente desportiva com um elevado fator de diversão. Se um condutor principiante consegue lidar com ela depende muito da sua personalidade e comportamento de condução. Existem certamente motos mais adequadas para a aprendizagem, mas os caçadores de raios desportivos dificilmente ficarão satisfeitos com outra coisa. A 790 Duke L também não é muito entusiasta dos passeios quotidianos na cidade. Na estrada rural, no entanto, é uma explosão, mesmo com apenas 48 cv. Simplesmente uma moto divertida como está escrito no livro.

A RC390 abriu-me os olhos e espero que haja muito mais para vir com as pequenas cilindradas. O baixo peso continua a ser o maior prazer ao conduzir uma mota, embora também não se possa prescindir de um pouco de potência. Mas a 390 conseguiu, de alguma forma, inspirar-me com os seus 44 cv e libertar-me do meu vício por ainda mais potência. Vou construir uma pequena pista de corridas com 2,5 km de comprimento e 14 curvas e depois haverá uma RC390 Cup de 1000 cv.
