Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CL500 2024
The Honda CL500 is an uncomplicated scrambler with a cool look, light-footed handling and a surprisingly revvy engine. It offers riding pleasure for everyone, whether on the road or on light off-road terrain. The CL500 shines on winding roads in particular with its agile, intuitive riding experience. Its versatility and accessibility make it an ideal companion for everyday use, while Honda's extensive range of accessories allows the scrambler to be customised. Even on demanding long-distance routes, such as the Balkan Rally, the CL500 has proven to be a reliable and fun partner.
Kawasaki Z 500 2024
With 52 cubic metres more displacement, the new Z500 does not appear to be a ground-breaking development compared to its predecessor, the Z400, but the increase in torque actually makes for a much more confident and mature appearance. The handling remains extremely playful thanks to the low weight and narrower tyres, while the ergonomics are what you would expect from an easy-going A2 naked bike. The suspension surprises with a really successful compromise between sport and comfort for all weight classes. The unagitated brakes, the smooth clutch and the easy manoeuvring make it clear that the new Z500 is aimed at all newcomers. However, the better and more modern equipped Z500 SE does not cost much more than the standard Z500.
