Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CMX500 Rebel 2022

Riding fun and beginner-friendliness - Honda manages to combine these attributes in the Rebel 500. Thanks to its low weight and compact wheel dimensions, it brings joy on the country road and will not overtax anyone in everyday life. No longer an insider tip for cruiser fans!

compact dimensions

enough power

fun to drive

cool look

Display poorly legible

engine somewhat characterless

Hyosung GV 125 S Aquila 2022

If you like the look of big bobber bikes with powerful V2 engines, the Hyosung GV125 S Aquila is an interesting 125cc alternative. The look is really successful, the proportions are right and the Bonsai V2 is a real V2! However, the engine does not stand out noticeably from the usual single-cylinder competition. This may also be due to the comparatively high weight. Nevertheless, the GV125 S Aquila is a very agile and, thanks to the comfortable seating position, also very easy to ride bobber. A real recommendation for novice riders with an A1/B111/B196 licence.

Gorgeous bobber look

a real V2 engine

very comfortable seating position

low saddle height

very manoeuvrable despite higher weight

CBS brake as a safety feature

Engine rather unspectacular

CBS takes some getting used to
