Technical Specifications Honda CB650R 2021 compared to Honda CB500F 2019
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Honda CB500F 2019
In summary, the new CB500F still fully lives up to the motto "playful and effortless". Thanks to modifications in the intake and exhaust area, the engine now delivers 4% more in the rev range between 3,000 and 7,000 revs, which should be positively noticeable in the less fast but all the more important everyday operation. The other innovations such as the anti-hopping clutch, LCD display with gear indicator and the proud handlebars make life even easier for two-wheeled beginners. In my opinion, there is no need for traction control on A2 machines. On the contrary, I think it can't hurt to learn how to use the right hand yourself at the beginning. The CB500F is indeed ideally suited for precisely this beginning. And experienced riders could also be truly thrilled by its smoothness. Especially when the road goes downhill.
