Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda SH300i 2018

The new SH300i again presents itself as a practical and surprisingly sporty big-wheel scooter, but it can do almost everything better than its predecessor. The fact that the power and torque are marginally lower will be quite tolerable when you hear that the mid-range offers a bit more punch as a result. You will hardly feel it anyway, there was absolutely no need to act on the sporty talents of the SH300i. Storage space, on the other hand, has been improved: a full-face helmet of normal size now fits under the seat. Additional comfort features such as the Honda Smart Key System, which allows the ignition key to simply be left in the pocket, and a 12-volt socket under the seat make the SH300i even more interesting. And finally, the look has also been upgraded; thanks to the full LED lighting, it now looks sportier without alienating the regular customers.

Sporty and economical engine

Honda CB 1000 R 2018

Honda calls the model series "Neo Sports Cafe", and the CB 1000 R lives up to the fresh name. The style is new, different and not only visually but also haptically very successful. The "sport" is not neglected in the new model either. The engine has a wonderful torque curve and accelerates the machine with fine control and vehemence at the same time. All this comes in the "+" version with good equipment and technical precision made in Japan in the form of a great riding machine in the showrooms. A great motorbike!

Fabulous response in every engine situation

Feels very comfortable both slowly but also sportily

Precise and smooth transmission

Precise lines possible due to immaculate drive unit paired with good chassis

High-quality details.
