Technical Specifications Honda CB650R 2019 compared to Yamaha XSR700 2016
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CB650R 2019
Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning gives enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The suspension components clearly attempt a balancing act between everyday life and sportiness, which is why unrest can quickly be found in the vehicle when approaching the cornering at a brisk pace. Somehow, however, this imperfection gives the Honda a lot of character and gives the rider the feeling of having to actively integrate himself into the action. For country road racers with a daily commute, a real recommendation!
Yamaha XSR700 2016
If you want an entry-level motorbike that will keep you happy for a long time, but at the same time has a cool retro look, there's really no getting around the Yamaha XSR 700. With the MT-07 as the technical basis, you're buying what is probably the most popular beginner's motorbike at the moment - just in a different guise. The XSR 700's greatest triumph is its unbelievably elastic in-line two-cylinder, which neither overtaxes beginners nor bores experienced motorcyclists. The throttle response is pleasantly direct and the power develops very harmoniously, there will never be an 'oops' moment here. However, the XSR 700 should be seen as a relaxed cruiser rather than a sporty motorbike. The chassis sways very easily when ridden fast and brings uncertainty into the vehicle. Experienced riders will find it easy to cope with, but a beginner may be overwhelmed.
