Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB125R 2019

Honda CB125R 2019

The smallest representative of Honda's naked bikes does not need to hide at any time, because at least visually it is hardly inferior to its larger Neo Sports Cafe sisters. Admittedly, the 13.3 hp peak power is not the measure of all things in the 125cc segment, but the Honda can score points for this with a ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. The associated playful handling of an A1 motorbike is assured - more beginner-friendly riding is hardly possible! As you would expect from the Japanese manufacturer, the CB125R is amazingly well built for this class of vehicle - bravo!

Good responsiveness...

Top build quality for a 125

Sporty chassis ensures lively handling

All lights in LED

...nevertheless, a little more power would be desirable

seating position somewhat restricted

Honda CB500F 2021

Honda CB500F 2021

Honda has significantly improved the rounded package called CB500F for 2022. Thanks to better brakes and a higher-quality chassis, the handling has been significantly upgraded. Both beginners and experienced riders will feel very comfortable on this bike and enjoy it for many years to come. Only the suspension strut is not quite up to scratch - but there still needs to be room for improvement somewhere.

full 48 hp in the A2 class

high-quality fork

good brakes

comfortable seating position

low seat height

intuitive handling.
