Honda CB500F 2018

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.

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017

With the SP version, the MT-10 becomes cooler, more desirable and, thanks to the high-quality chassis, better. The semi-active suspension from the R1M is the best in the naked bike league. Highest quality and best function in combination. The chassis also excites on the racetrack. Nevertheless, the MT-10SP is not a racing machine, because the seating position is not active enough for that.

great chassis

high ride comfort / utility comfort due to the electronic chassis

very emotional but nevertheless cultivated engine

pleasant wind protection

balanced overall package despite radical looks and wicked sound

Traction control not up to the level of the Aprilia

Too inactive seating position on the racetrack
