Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500F 2021

Honda has significantly improved the rounded package called CB500F for 2022. Thanks to better brakes and a higher-quality chassis, the handling has been significantly upgraded. Both beginners and experienced riders will feel very comfortable on this bike and enjoy it for many years to come. Only the suspension strut is not quite up to scratch - but there still needs to be room for improvement somewhere.

full 48 hp in the A2 class

high-quality fork

good brakes

comfortable seating position

low seat height

intuitive handling.

Yamaha MT-09 2024

Yes, Yamaha has produced a really leiwandes bike. All the criticisms of its predecessor have been successfully revised without neutering the wild and playful nature of the MT-09. The fourth generation is more mature, more precise and more polished, rides more neutrally and is more stable without losing its light-footedness. A marvellous bike that currently offers an almost unbeatable price-performance ratio thanks to many detail improvements and has now even become really pretty. The Yamaha dealers won't be able to save themselves from orders after test rides. Let's hope that availability is guaranteed, because the new MT-09 is the definition of the word "direct hit"!

powerful acceleration in every situation / potent engine

aggressive but not too loud sound

improved ergonomics for more feedback and confidence

very good brakes

lavish basic options

precise chassis with good everyday tuning

nice display, good operation

extremely good price-performance ratio

no windscreen

fiddly indicator function
