Honda CMX500 Rebel 2018

We all strive for diversity and the Honda Rebel brings just that diversity to the A2 licence class. It is a wonderful addition to the Honda model range and can convince not only beginners. The engine and chassis tuning make it a very relaxed cruiser that makes gliding along a pleasure. The look is purely pragmatic, practically shining with minimalism. A harmonious overall package for affordable motorbike relaxation.

The Z900 RS enjoys a large fan base and in 2022 it once again proves why it is so popular. The powerful engine scores with pulling power and a wonderful sound that is not too obtrusive. The handling feels natural and presents no challenges. Only a quickshifter would suit the bike - even if that doesn't quite fit the retro idea.
