KTM 690 Duke 2015

Det är otroligt hur kultiverat KTM har utvecklat den encylindriga motorn utan att göra avkall på prestandan. Det kan betraktas som ett genidrag att, inom ramen för EURO4-standarden, höja motorns körkultur och samtidigt öka effekten. Den flacka vridmomentskurvan är ansvarig för den mjuka, kraftfulla framdrivningen. Från 4 000 varv/minut trycker Duke på hårt och varvar upp till 8 500 varv/minut. Även vid låga varvtal stammar eller sväljer motorn inte, vilket är en fördel i staden. Dukes största styrka, bortsett från dess körbarhet, är dess manövrerbarhet, vilket är anledningen till att den med säkerhet kan kallas en leksak. Det är bara när du är på racerbanan och attackerar hårt som du önskar att du hade "R" under rumpan.

Kawasaki Z 650 är spetsen av medelklassen för små manliga och kvinnliga förare. Med sina kompakta mått kommer du förmodligen inte att känna dig bekväm som en jätte. Hjärtvärmande känslor kommer dock från motorn, som glädjer med ett mycket mjukt drag. På chassisidan har man valt en Kawasaki-typisk tight inställning, som är en bra kompromiss vid daglig användning. Den negativa displayen är mycket lätt att läsa och påminner om sin föregångare, ER-6n - mycket trevligt!
