Pros and Cons in comparison

Voge 500AC 2022

If you think of Honda when you think of an in-line two-cylinder with 471 cubic capacity, you're right - Voge takes the balanced engine as a model. But what the heck, the engine also works perfectly in the Chinese and that's enough copying anyway. Above all, the look of the 500 AC in its successful retro design with modern elements is unique and the high handlebars favour easy handling. The remaining components such as Nissin brakes with Bosch ABS and KYB suspension work inconspicuously well. Modern highlights include the easy-to-read colour TFT display and mobile phone connectivity via Bluetooth or USB.

Honda CL500 2024

The Honda CL500 is an uncomplicated scrambler with a cool look, light-footed handling and a surprisingly revvy engine. It offers riding pleasure for everyone, whether on the road or on light off-road terrain. The CL500 shines on winding roads in particular with its agile, intuitive riding experience. Its versatility and accessibility make it an ideal companion for everyday use, while Honda's extensive range of accessories allows the scrambler to be customised. Even on demanding long-distance routes, such as the Balkan Rally, the CL500 has proven to be a reliable and fun partner.
