Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

The Tiger Sport is a riding machine that can do much more than promised in the brochure. It was sportier than I thought it would be, but at the same time it offered more riding comfort.

Very universal

very agile handling but still easy and safe to drive

high ride comfort

great price / performance ratio

great tuned engine.

The Tiger Sport succeeds in almost all areas. Only in the suspension setup is the compromise, which is what this vehicle is, noticeable in some situations.

Honda CL500 2024

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.
