Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR500R 2015

Honda CBR500R 2015

Supersport and everyday utility are two extremes that can only be combined in a compromise that only partially satisfies both sides. Honda has decided to pay more attention to everyday use and to make the CBR500R as accessible and rideable as possible. Visually, it looks sharper than it is, but fun is still not neglected because Honda always pays attention to quality and a harmonious set-up. A good choice for A2 riders and all those for whom 48 hp is enough.

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.

Playful and easy to handle

high-revving engine with linear power delivery

low fuel consumption

smooth clutch

smart LCD display with all information

Brake needs a lot of force on the lever
