Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CRF250L 2020

Honda's little CRF250L should be taken seriously as a true off-road bike. Even if the power does not move mountains, it comes to life once the paved surface ends. What counts here is not top speed, but the stable handling it displays. That's why this accessible Honda is also perfect for taking your first off-road steps, because even if it goes down unplanned: change plastics and keep going! If you want to leave the tarmac behind and explore the world off-road, the CRF250L is just right for you!

Honda CB500F 2018

Even after a few years in production, Honda manages to keep the CB 500 F fresh. With LEDs in the front and rear and a revised engine, the naked bike remains a great A2 motorbike tip. Its grown-up appearance gives it a real big-bike feel, which means it doesn't have to hide at all. It could only be better if it had a gear indicator.
