The same applies to the 500 that applies to the 450. The slimming down of the 500 puts it on a level that was reserved for the 250 a few years ago. Of course, the moving masses are higher and the motorbike seems more ponderous than the smaller ones during the special test. On the long stage, however, you enjoy the sovereignty and the infinite power in every situation. 63 HP! Even if there are very rare passages where you need this power. But when it comes, the feeling in the saddle is indescribable.

Stable engine with reserves for long full-throttle stages

easy to ride despite high performance thanks to great engine electronics

handling has also been significantly improved. Comparable with 450 from the previous year or with old 250s.

One thing is clear: the 500 seems handy and light. But if you switch to a 2-stroke or a small four-stroke without a break, it's a different world

high price.
