Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500F 2014

Honda CB500F 2014

Like its two-cylinder predecessors CB500 and CBF500, the new CB500F presents itself as a mature motorbike for beginners, returning riders or for the daily commute to work. With the modern LED headlight and LED tail light, Honda is moving with the times and thus offers a great package in the A2 driving licence class. With its nimble handling, it is convincing both in city traffic and on country roads, and thanks to the revisions to the engine and transmission, it cuts a sportier figure than ever before. The chassis, on the other hand, offers enough comfort, which is further supported by the adjustable brake lever.

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.
