Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2015
Neverjetno je, kako kultivirano je KTM razvil enovaljnik, ne da bi pri tem žrtvoval zmogljivost. Za genialno potezo lahko štejemo, da so v okviru standarda EURO4 dvignili kulturo delovanja motorja in hkrati povečali moč. Ravna krivulja navora je odgovorna za gladek in zmogljiv pogon. Duke od 4000 vrtljajev naprej močno pritiska in se vrti do 8500 vrtljajev. Tudi pri nizkih vrtljajih se motor ne zatakne ali pogoltne, kar je v mestu prednost. Dukova največja prednost, poleg voznih lastnosti, je njegova okretnost, zato ga lahko z gotovostjo imenujemo igrača. Šele ko ste na dirkališču in silovito napadate, si zaželite, da bi imeli pod zadkom oznako "R".
Honda CB500F 2015
Tako kot njegova dvovaljna predhodnika CB500 in CBF500 se tudi novi CB500F predstavlja kot zrelo motorno kolo za začetnike, povratnike ali za vsakodnevno vožnjo na delo. S sodobnim LED žarometom in LED zadnjo lučjo gre Honda v korak s časom in tako ponuja odličen paket v razredu vozniškega dovoljenja A2. S svojo okretnostjo je prepričljiva tako v mestnem prometu kot na podeželskih cestah, zaradi sprememb na motorju in menjalniku pa je bolj športna kot kdaj koli prej. Podvozje po drugi strani ponuja dovolj udobja, k čemur pripomore tudi nastavljiva zavorna ročica.
