Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha YZF-R6 2009

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Honda CBR500R 2014

Supersport and everyday utility are two extremes that can only be combined in a compromise that only partially satisfies both sides. Honda has decided to pay more attention to everyday use and to make the CBR500R as accessible and rideable as possible. Visually, it looks sharper than it is, but fun is still not neglected because Honda always pays attention to quality and a harmonious set-up. A good choice for A2 riders and all those for whom 48 hp is enough.
