Honda CB500F 2020

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.

Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE impresses as a versatile bike with an excellent power-to-weight ratio that is suitable for both sporty riding and everyday use. With a powerful 450cc two-cylinder engine and a weight of just 171 kg, it offers agile handling and sporty riding performance. The riding position is comfortable and the brakes and clutch work precisely and reliably. Although the bike has no traction control, the engine is easy to control. The outdated display and menu navigation as well as the average sound of the engine are criticised. Despite these shortcomings, the Ninja 500 SE offers excellent value for money and is an attractive choice for riders in the A2 segment.
