Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CB500F 2015
Like its two-cylinder predecessors CB500 and CBF500, the new CB500F presents itself as a mature motorbike for beginners, returning riders or for the daily commute to work. With the modern LED headlight and LED tail light, Honda is moving with the times and thus offers a great package in the A2 driving licence class. With its nimble handling, it is convincing both in city traffic and on country roads, and thanks to the revisions to the engine and transmission, it cuts a sportier figure than ever before. The chassis, on the other hand, offers enough comfort, which is further supported by the adjustable brake lever.
KTM 390 Duke 2022
The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
