Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CMX500 Rebel 2021

Riding fun and beginner-friendliness - Honda manages to combine these attributes in the Rebel 500. Thanks to its low weight and compact wheel dimensions, it brings joy on the country road and will not overtax anyone in everyday life. No longer an insider tip for cruiser fans!

compact dimensions

enough power

fun to drive

cool look

Display poorly legible

engine somewhat characterless

Honda CB650R 2021

13 out of a possible 24 points mean 5th place in the large mid-range naked bike comparison test 2021. The Honda puts up a good fight against the technically more advanced competition and can leave a motorbike behind despite its position as an outsider. Pleasing looks, accessible riding and the low price make the shortcomings that were brought to light in the direct comparison fade into the background.

Neo Sports Cafe Optics still top

absolutely suitable for beginners

good price-performance ratio

engine revs up smoothly

low consumption

Too little space for tall riders

mediocre equipment

relatively chubby

little punch from the rev range
