Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500 Hornet 2024

The Honda CB500 Hornet proves to be a mature and well-balanced naked bike that is an excellent choice in the A2 class.

Smooth but really sufficient engine power

good revvvy even at low engine speeds

precise and smooth clutch and gearstick

vibration-free riding performance

stable and pleasant chassis damping

excellent turning-in behaviour

powerful brakes with double disk front brakes

high build quality

clear and informative display

good handling and agility, user-friendly electronic Advanced Rider Assistance Systems

comfortable seating position

good balance between riding pleasure and safety.

higher weight compared to some competitors could be annoying for very light riders

suspension can be overloaded with a sporty riding style or higher rider weight

possibly less comfortable for taller riders

Fantic Caballero 700 2023

The Fantic Caballero 700 is a bit of a cheat - but a really clever one! The engine of this smart Italian comes from Japan, where it is known as the CP2 and powers successful models such as the MT-07 and Tenere 700. Accordingly, the Fantic is agile and lively, weighing 188 kilos ready to ride. Add to that pleasantly easy handling and a comfortable riding position paired with a ravishingly authentic look - and you have a really good scrambler. Since the tyres basically work well and only the larger 19-inch front wheel prevents even more agile handling, sticking to the scrambler style is also perfectly fine here.

Agile and reliable CP2 engine from Yamaha

comfortable riding position

good, everyday Pirelli tyres

Gorgeously authentic scrambler look

Cornering ABS

Only one single disc brake at the front

Set-up torque when braking in inclined position
