Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda GB350S 2025

The Honda GB350S is a bike that deliberately takes a step back and gains an enormous amount precisely because of this. It dispenses with technical overstimulation and instead delivers calm, character and an amazingly intense riding experience. Not fast, not loud, but honest and sustainably inspiring. A bike for people who want to feel again why they once started riding motorbikes.

Very harmonious engine character

soothing, characterful sound

high build quality

playful handling in everyday use

low fuel consumption and long range

accessible ergonomics

high emotional connection

Limited top performance

defensive traction control

Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2024

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque

Weight, 167 kg

Gearbox, excellent shifting

Seating position, comfortably neutral Driving licence class A2

Rear-view mirror, stylish but hardly any visibility to the rear tyres, IRC spongy, gives hardly any feedback
