Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR 600 F 2013

The CBR600F remains just under the magic 10,000 mark and certainly doesn't disgrace Honda's mid-range. For a modest 520 euro surcharge until the end of May, it also comes with a tempting additional package consisting of a dark-tinted windshield, painted pillion seat and rear wheel cover, tank cap decor, tank pad and crankcase decor set.

Comfort

acceptable performance

comfortable riding position

padded saddle

C-ABS.

Tachometer difficult to read

lack of gear indicator.

Honda CBR500R 2013

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.

Reliable

cleanly finished

relaxed seating position

low seat

attractive design

not a real super sports car

A2-level performance
