Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R3 2015
A Yamaha vê a sua R3 mais em linha com a igualmente versátil Kawasaki Ninja 300, mas o preço é ainda mais elevado do que o da KTM390. Isto faz com que a YZF-R3 seja um produto premium, o que é uma decisão arrojada nesta classe. Mas o pacote global oferece o valor correspondente: motor desportivo, chassis estável, travões fortes, velocidade máxima sensacional. A comparação direta mostrará quem tem realmente a vantagem. Em todo o caso, a R3 é uma forte candidata ao primeiro lugar.
KTM RC 390 2014
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.
