Yamaha MT-09 2016
Yamahi MT-09 za prihajajočo sezono ni bilo treba na novo izumljati - že pred skoraj štirimi leti je bila izjemno dobro izdelana. Namesto tega so se Japonci osredotočili na fino prilagoditev in dodajanje praktičnih, sodobnih trikov, kot sta nadzor vleke in samodejno prestavljanje. Zaradi standarda Euro4 pa je bilo upravljanje motorja ponovno spremenjeno in v standardnem načinu ponuja izrazito zmogljivo, a dobro nadzorovano podajanje moči; eksplozije moči prve generacije zdaj ne ponuja več niti ostrejši način A. Največja sprememba, prepoznavna že na prvi pogled, je po mojem mnenju izjemno uspešen dizajn z agresivnejšim sprednjim delom in na novo oblikovanim zadkom. V celoti gledano, še bolj eleganten naked bike, ki je bil očitno ustvarjen za užitek v vožnji z motorjem.
KTM 790 Duke 2018
The KTM 790 Duke L is an absolutely sporty naked bike with a high fun factor. Whether a beginner rider can handle it depends very much on his or her personality and riding behaviour. There are certainly motorbikes better suited for learning, but sporty radius hunters will hardly be satisfied with anything else. The 790 Duke L is also rather unenthusiastic about everyday rides in the city. On the country road, however, it's a blast, even with only 48 hp. Simply a fun bike as it is written in the book.
