Pros and Cons in comparison

Benelli 502 C 2020

The Benelli 502 C is definitely an exciting phenomenon in the A2 cruiser class. With a very familiar look and a pleasant two-cylinder, it is an exciting alternative to the top dogs in this class. Thanks to the large fuel tank, it could actually be a good long-distance motorbike if the suspension set-up were not chosen too harshly. Moreover, it is impossible to take a passenger with a clear conscience, as he or she will be clinging for dear life to the small seat for the entire ride. However, if you only plan rides alone and want to be as conspicuous as possible, the Benelli 502 C is perfect. Plenty of motorbike for A2 riders!

CFMOTO 650 GT 2021

How much luxury do you actually need on a modern touring bike? Well, if CF-Moto has its way, not too much, but still a good motorbike for touring. The seating position on the 650 GT is ergonomically successful, so it can also please on long distances, and the comparatively weak engine at least revs up agilely, so you don't really lack power either. Only two riding modes (which do not differ too much from each other), conventional ABS and a continuously variable windshield that can be adjusted in height without tools have to suffice as "comfort features" - and actually they do. Only the chassis has to put up with criticism; in curves it sways more than the sporty rest of the machine deserves.

Pleasant seating position

agile engine

easy-to-read TFT colour display

adequate braking performance

height-adjustable windscreen

somewhat spongy chassis

hardly any comfort features
