Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 300 2015

Kawasaki Z 300 2015

The cool design of the Kawasaki Z300, which is extremely similar to that of its big sister Z800, makes it a very grown-up-looking motorbike. The stable braking system and the easy-to-read cockpit with an analogue rev counter and all the necessary features fit in very well with this image. Thanks to the 170 kg ready-to-ride weight, the bike is extremely easy to handle and playful. The engine only reveals its potential in the upper rev range, but revs up willingly and makes you want to ride in a sporty manner. Only the comfort-oriented chassis cannot quite cope with radically sporty demands - but this is quite legitimate and understandable for an entry-level motorbike.

Honda CBR500R 2022

Honda CBR500R 2022

The Honda CBR500R impresses as a versatile and reliable bike with good throttle response, smooth engine running and comfortable ergonomics, ideal for touring riders. Its effective brakes and stable suspension ensure confidence and safety. Visually appealing and with a high-quality finish, it offers solid electronics. However, the high weight and less torquey power compromise sporty riding. The limited maximum lean angle limits the sportiness. Overall, it is a reliable bike with comfort and safety, but with limitations when it comes to sporty riding.

Quiet and silky smooth engine running

Comfortable ergonomics suitable for touring

Effective brakes and reliable ABS system

Stability and confidence-inspiring suspension

Attractive appearance and high-quality workmanship

Solid electronics with user-friendly traction control
