Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2020

The MT-07 is a wonderful fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and perhaps even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the chassis makes the understandable compromise between comfort and sport - reminding us that the affordable MT-07 should also have a lot to offer beginners. Only the design with halogen headlights and conventional forks is rather old-fashioned.

High-torque two-cylinder

well-done chassis set-up

easy to ride

pleasant seating position

large selection of accessories

price-performance ratio is right

Optics and fittings already look grey

controls on the handlebars a little cheap

Honda CBR500R 2024

The Honda CBR500R impresses as a versatile and reliable bike with good throttle response, smooth engine running and comfortable ergonomics, ideal for touring riders. Its effective brakes and stable suspension ensure confidence and safety. Visually appealing and with a high-quality finish, it offers solid electronics. However, the high weight and less torquey power compromise sporty riding. The limited maximum lean angle limits the sportiness. Overall, it is a reliable bike with comfort and safety, but with limitations when it comes to sporty riding.
