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

engine somewhat characterless

Yamaha MT-09 2016

The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.

Wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant

three power modes

fully adjustable chassis

quickshifter as standard

sporty upright seating position

good brakes

aggressive looks

traction control.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one
