Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CTX 700 N 2015

The modern interpretation of a Honda Shadow that rides much better to boot. The CTX700N is a colourful bird, a truly exceptional and unique motorbike concept for individualists. Other manufacturers do not offer nearly as much technology, quality, rideability and fun in one vehicle. The fact that the CTX is not fish and not fowl is both positive and negative, I have taken it to my heart.

unique

mix of different concepts

DCT for little money

comfortable, easy to ride

low seat

Sloping position moderate

hardly any wind protection

special design

Honda CMX500 Rebel 2017

We all strive for diversity and the Honda Rebel brings just that diversity to the A2 licence class. It is a wonderful addition to the Honda model range and can convince not only beginners. The engine and chassis tuning make it a very relaxed cruiser that makes gliding along a pleasure. The look is purely pragmatic, practically shining with minimalism. A harmonious overall package for affordable motorbike relaxation.
