Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 690 Duke 2018

Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.
Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2019

A Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 continua a ser um verdadeiro destaque entre as motas leves e práticas devido às suas características inigualáveis. A sua aparência é única e a tecnologia por detrás do bonito design também é impressionante. A combinação de 75 cv do conhecido monocilíndrico, com uma alavanca de mudanças rápida e soberba, cria uma alegria insana na estrada. No entanto, o motor precisa de rotações e a posição de assento não agradará a todos. A Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 é, portanto, uma mota com a qual tem de se envolver completamente. Se o conseguir fazer, a diversão está garantida.
